    Take Me Home - Episode 131 The Adventures of Marla Stahl – Author and Animal Advocate!
    2019/07/24
    Today we are going to speaking with Marla Stahl, author and animal advocate. 3.9 Million… that’s the number of homeless dogs in American shelters at any given time. There are another 3.4 million cats as well. While many of us in the animal welfare space and beyond are aware of the enormity of those numbers, it takes a special person to decide to do something to combat the issue. And that’s where Marla Stahl enters the frame. She’s an author and animal advocate who’s dedicated herself to combating animal abuse and homelessness in the United States in a very unique way. Today we’ll be talking with Marla to share her mission, and learn more about her work and how it’s making a difference in the lives of thousands of animals and people.

    Take Me Home - Episode 130 Celebrating 150 years of Lifesaving Work at Women’s Animal Center – America’s First Shelter
    2019/04/26
    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 Susan Russell, Executive Director for the Animal Care and Control Team of Philadelphia. Being an open-admission shelter, ACCT Philly doesn’t have it easy. With thousands of animals entering their facility each year, Susan and her team face hard decisions every day. But this doesn’t discourage them – they see opportunity. Learn about what it really means to be a “no-kill” community and how Susan and her team are tackling this challenge with positivity.

    Meet Elroy, the 4-year-old “purebred Philly dog” who loves sleeping, snoring and is even into playing fetch from time to time. He likes cats a little too much, so he’s a part of ACCT Philly’s “One and Only” promotion – meaning he would do best in a home with no other pets. P.S. He’s also a fan of the “Walter the Farting Dog” books and would love to spend story time with you!
