How to save an animal shelter: “If you care about something just do it”
The municipal animal shelter in Huntington, West Virginia, was euthanizing 50 to 75 percent of the animals that came in because they didn’t have the funding or space to care for them. Enter Courtney Proctor Cross. She was named director of the shelter in August 2018, and through hard work and fundraising she transformed the shelter into a place of hope.
This episode was produced by Ted Muldoon. The Optimist’s editor is Allison Klein.
