Reconciling human and animal welfare

02•20•14

Recently, I was honored to share some thoughts about animal welfare with one of my favorite blogs, Grouchy Puppy.

In the first post, Take off your Judgey Pants: Let’s Discuss Pet Adoption, I tackled the idea that we need to be less judgmental about potential adopters in order to save more dogs from life and death in a shelter.

Today, I ask the question: What if shelters spent less time on blame and more on helping keep pets in homes?

These are big topics that I’m still thinking through and researching (hence, no real post here today).

I’d love to know your thoughts, questions, concerns, and so on! Please head on over to Grouchy Puppy and weigh in!
