Today on the PAWS Podcast, host Nicole Shuma sits down with Jody from PAWS Humane Society of Rockford, Illinois to dive into the incredible work this organization has been doing since 1988. What began as a small spay/neuter assistance program has evolved into a full-service humane society serving Winnebago County and beyond — even reaching local schools to educate future pet owners.

Jody shares how PAWS works toward a future where every pet has a home and no animal is euthanized simply due to lack of one. We also explore their vital support programs, including the Emergency Medical Fund, the Daisy Fund for dogs in need, and the Cinnamon Fund dedicated to helping cats.

If you’ve ever wondered how PAWS changes lives every single day — or how you can help — this episode is full of heart, mission, and real impact.
