Keeping Pets and People Together: The Mission of PAWS NY

What happens when pet owners face challenges so overwhelming they might have to give up the animals they love?

In this powerful episode, Amy Castro sits down with Rachel Herman, founder of Paws NY, to explore how one nonprofit is changing lives, both human and animal. From house call programs to critical vet care, Paws NY steps in where others can't, ensuring that vulnerable pet owners never have to choose between caring for themselves or their pets.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• What inspired Rachel to start Paws NY and how it grew into a vital community resource
• How their volunteer programs help keep people and pets together
• The ripple effect of support, compassion, and consistency in rescue work
