In this episode of From Tip to Tail, new CUDDLY board member Carol Novello joins Bridget and Sydney to discuss her work in the animal welfare community. Carol is the former president of Humane Society of Silicon Valley and founder of Mutual Rescue. Last year she published Mutual Rescue: How Adopting A Homeless Animal Can Save You, Too, which explores the transformational impact that shelter pets have on people.

Topics of conversation include: why no-kill isn’t enough when shelter medicine isn’t present, predictions for rescue work going international and why shelter medicine is essential in this context, addressing the question ‘why help animals when you could help people’, the success of the ‘doggy day out’ program and how it has helped shelters adopt more pets, assessing the value of home visits and other adoption requirements, and other topics.
