In Episode 16 of The Bark, we’re kicking off the new year with updates on what LSP has been working on behind the scenes—and what it means for animals and communities across Tennessee. We break down our Better Boards campaign, an initiative urging Tractor Supply Co. to address a misalignment we’ve identified within the company, which is working against the efforts of the rescues and shelters they support.

We also dig into Tennessee Senate Bill 1475, why it’s critical for animal welfare, and how it fits into the bigger picture of prevention. Plus, we share updates on the key relationships we’re building to move the veterinary premises permitting amendment forward—an essential step in expanding access to spay/neuter and care.

If you’ve been waiting for ways to get involved in the change, we’ve got a ton of action items for you in this episode. We'll deliver transparency, hard truths, and action—you’ll want to tune in.
