“It’s more than just providing this little stuffed animal for a survivor. It’s about keeping their family intact and letting them know that they got out and everybody is safe.” Dr. Katie Luke is the Chief Operations Officer at the Austin Humane Society (AHS), the “largest no-kill, non-profit pet and adoption center in Austin, Texas.” Their mission is to “offer comprehensive, humane, life-saving animal services, transforming the lives of animals and those who love them.” In this episode, Dr. Luke delves into all of these inspirational programs offered by AHS, her role in facilitating the programs, and the impact they have on survivors of domestic violence and others in crisis. AHS truly helps keep people and their pets together during and following unimaginable circumstances. To learn more about the Austin Humane Society, please visit http://www.austinhumanesociety.org/ If you have any questions about their pet food pantry, please email [email protected] or call their events line at 512-685-0118.We love receiving story ideas, comments, and Apple Podcast reviews, so feel free to email Dena Goldstein at [email protected] or write a review below! Support the show
