At the conclusion of each screening in Los Angeles, we will be holding a Q&A. One of my favorite out-of-the-box thinkers in animal welfare, Kim Wolf of Beyond Breed, will be assisting us with this. Here is a recent article she was named in regarding what she does in her community!: In New York, Kim Wolf, founder of another Pets For Life-inspired program, “Ruff Riders,” has also discovered an unexpected advantage of direct work with pet owners in low-income communities: People within these areas have created an informal rescue network to keep animals out of shelters. “These Good Samaritans take in pets when the previous owner got evicted, died, went to jail, or fell on hard times,” Wolf says. “While these individuals might struggle financially, they are very generous with their hearts and homes. Ruff Riders shares resources to help them help the animals, and to save shelter space for pets who truly have nowhere else to go.” To learn more about her work, visit her website: beyondbreed/ruff-riders/ To reserve your spot in our Friday screening, there are still a few seats available: https://facebook/events/835956536434088/ dogtime/advocacy-column-saving-lives-starts-with-support-not-shame.html
