Join hosts Jessica and Tricia on the "Pets Are Family" podcast as they welcome the inspiring Cara Achterberg, founder of "Who Will Let the Dogs Out." In this episode, they dive deep into Cara's journey from a serial foster mom to founding a national nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness about the conditions in animal shelters, particularly in the South. Cara shares her eye-opening experiences visiting over 130 shelters, the challenges they face, and the incredible stories of the people and animals she has met.
Discover the three key elements needed to save every savable animal: committed leadership, community engagement, and access to affordable veterinary care. Cara's organization not only highlights the dire situations in underfunded shelters but also actively works to provide immediate relief through their innovative Instagram grants. This episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about animal welfare and looking to make a difference.
