Get ready for an enlightening chat with Kathy Powelson on this episode of the Just Be Cause Podcast.

Throughout the conversation, we'll explore the deep bond between human and animal well-being, using real-life examples from Kathy's work. From the heartwarming story of assisting a woman fleeing domestic violence by finding foster care for her pets to the impactful programs that connect foster children with animals in need, we'll uncover the profound connections between social services and animal welfare.
