Saving Great Animals is a wonderful local organization based in the greater Seattle area. They’ve worked tirelessly for years in order to help animals in need, including special needs animals that might have been traumatized and need rehabilitation in order to find forever homes. We talked about the ever increasing number of abandoned pets, pets who need medical help, and the continued need for fostering, which is huge, as well as how people can help via donations, volunteering or just sharing information. Jacintha and her team are tireless advocates—please listen and share.

Heartwood Haven fights the disastrous effects of animal cruelty through rescue, education and sanctuary to promote a more compassionate world for animals and humans. Heartwood Haven focuses on farm animals and also helps laboratory animals who have been released post research. You might have read about their efforts in finding homes for close to 100 roosters who were rescued from a cock fighting ring. Most have found homes but some homes are still needed. There are many ways you can help, including volunteering at their farm in Roy, Washington… or donating via their website: www.heartwoodhaven.org (original air date 05/13/25)

In this conversation, Marilyn and Eric talk about a few topics that resonate, from losing a pet (when/if you get another and how that might look) to catios (outdoor cat spaces that provide safety) to the new sloth-themed store in Magnolia, Robot vs. Sloth, that gives back to worthwhile causes as well. Perhaps there’s a tidbit here that will be meaningful or useful to YOU. Listen to Marilyn’s show, Love Has Many Faces, Tuesday mornings at 9am Pacific Time (on air or online) or on the Love Has Many Faces podcast.

Imagine that you are in a situation where you are unable to care for your pet temporarily. Maybe you are in the hospital for surgery or treatment. Maybe you are trying to leave a domestic violence situation, or get help for substance abuse.. Or perhaps you are facing losing your home due to rent being raised or your building being sold. It makes it MUCH harder to deal with these situations when you’re worried about what will happen to your beloved pet. Many people choose not to get treatment they might need unless their pet is safe. Beck’s Place helps place animals in temporary foster homes throughout the Puget Sound region while their owners are getting the help they need. 90% of these pets are reunited with their owners once things get better.

Beck’s Place serves clients in Snohomish County and they are having a special event on Monday Sept. 15th. Join in person, or online for the auction only. And learn more about this event, and their wonderful ongoing work, at www.becksplace.org

The Beagle Alliance is a rescue and advocacy group working to reduce and eventually end animal testing, and also working to find homes for animals who have been released from laboratory research. Although The Beagle Alliance operates in Canada they also work in tandem with rescue and advocacy partners in the US. Our conversation touches on reasons why animal testing is still being done even though it’s often not relevant or useful, and on what we can each do to help educate and inform more people about viable alternatives. Learn more at
