Angela Marcus interviews Catherine Malkemes, Executive Director and Jack Griffin, Director of Shelter Services from Women’s Animal Shelter in Bensalem, PA. 2019 marks the 150th Anniversary of the Animal Sheltering and Adoptions movement in America. It began in Philadelphia in 1869. And it began with women – thirty of them to be exact, who formally joined forces on April 14, 1869 to establish Women’s Animal Center. Outraged by the cruel manner in which strays on Philadelphia streets were captured and killed, they successfully petitioned City Council to take over the municipal pound as their initial order of business, repurposing it as the first facility in the U.S. for sheltering and rehoming animals. Hear the entire story and learn about how we’re celebrating this exciting milestone - and how you can get involved. Plus, meet Ranger – an almost senior mixed breed dog available for adoption at Women’s Animal Center. He’s a “leaner” and is looking for a couch to call his own. UPDATE: Ranger is ADOPTED!

Angela Marcus interviews Danae Davis, executive director of FACE Foundation, whose mission is to enhance and preserve the quality of life of animals by providing access to necessary, lifesaving medical care. Angela defines “economic euthanasia” and Danae explains how FACE’s program works to put an end to it in their community. The lifesaving funding that FACE provides is only one part of the process – their success is also dependent on the veterinary and community partners they have. Danae also shares two heartwarming, incredible success stories that will bring a smile to your “face.” We also learn about Bailey, a 12-year-old mixed-breed dog looking for a loving home in which she can spend her golden years. At about 50 pounds, Bailey is playful and completely housetrained. She LOVEs people and would do best as the only pet in the home. Bailey is spending her days at the Lifetime Animal Care Center, partners of FACE, in sunny San Diego, CA. The team there loves her so much and will ensure that she’s ready to go with up-to-date bloodwork, a dental cleaning, and a bath! She’ll also go to her new home with food, toys, shampoo and other goodies! If you are interested in bringing Bailey home, email Angela at angela@petliferadio.com. FACE’s annual holiday fundraising drive is throughout the month of December. Any donation received during December will be doubled by FACE’s Board President up to $100,000! These donations will go towards life-saving veterinary treatment for more pets in the future.

<img src="http://www.petliferadio.com/Lucy2.jpg"> Susan Daffron talks to Melissa Lee Prescott from Daisy's Animal Rescue League in Massachusetts about a three-year old spayed female pit bull mix named Lucy. This sweet girl was named after Lucille Ball because of her red hair. Right now, she's underweight, but she's a healthy fun-loving active dog who loves to play. Lucy was dumped on the streets in Marlboro, Massachusetts but was picked up by Peter Nikitas the Animal Control Officer in Marlboro. He kept her, fed her and got her back on her feet. Peter called Melissa asking if she could help find Lucy a new home. Of course, Melissa said yes and Lucy is staying with her as a foster dog. Lucy already knows basic commands and is always eager to learn and please. She loves to go for walks and car rides and is good with other dogs and children. Lucy would be a great family dog. She greets everyone with a wiggly wag and big smile. Melissa is hoping that Lucy can find her forever home, so she can take in more foster dogs who need help.

<img src="http://www.petliferadio.com/Kallie.jpg"> Susan Daffron talks to Darci Pfeiffer from the All Fur Love Animal Society in Las Vegas, Nevada about a three-year old female calico cat named Kallie. This sweet kitty loves dogs and people, although she's not a big fan of other cats. Kallie loves to be petted and will come over to you and start to rub and purr at you. If you stop petting and she wants more, she will reach out and lightly touch you as if to say, "Did you forget something?" She will snuggle with you as long as she can, but if she's not snuggling, then she is looking at you from high above. Kallie loves heights and the higher she can get the better. She will find someplace high to explore, no matter the challenge to get there. She is a talker who likes to engage people in conversation (Kallie's foster mom has had long chats with her). Kallie loves all kinds of toys, but her carrot, pepper and banna cat toy is her favorite. If you want an affectionate lap buddy to share time with on the sofa, Kallie is the kitty for you!

Take Me Home - Episode 117 Kallie - Calico Kitty Loves Dogs and People

Join host Susan Daffron as she talks to guests from animal shelters and rescues about some of their favorite adoptable pets. These pets might be "diamonds in the rough" that may have been overlooked, but still need a great loving home. We'll shine the light on these pets and share their personalities, quirks, and stories with you. Because each pet is an individual, we'll talk about their special needs and offer educational information so you can easily deal with common problems such as a dog that jumps on people or a cat that scratches the furniture... on Pet Life Radio.
