Hi listeners! Our audience has been growing, and Grace and Emi have a couple of very exciting announcements for our shelter in this episode. We talk about pet overpopulation, bust a spay/neuter myth, reflect on some funny stories, and reveal Grace's Halloween costume through an (of course) animal welfare related parody! We also give an office feline update as some special needs kitties graduate from our special care and find furever.

Please let us know why you listen, what you like about our podcats, and what you might want to hear more of! Also, if you've become fond of Helping Hands Humane Society and the people and animals here through listening, please consider taking real life action and participating in Tails on the Trail - our dog-friendly 5k fundraiser that is going VIRTUAL this year! That means you can complete your 1-mile or 5k walk or run anywhere in the world between November 7th and November 14th and submit your time online aside all of our other participants. Registration is $30, and if you live within the continental United States, for an additional $5 donation, we'll be happy to ship the long-sleeve event t-shirt and Hill's swag bag filled with goodies straight to your doorstep! You can register online at register.chronotrack.com/r/59011 and see more information about the event (and pictures of the bag and t-shirt), check it out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/696448677629040
