We're thinking about animal welfare. With the summer heat and unpredictable weather, we invited the current President & General Agent of the RISPCA, Wayne Kezerian,Esq, to the conversation. The organization made a big move in 2023 from East Providence RI, to a larger and more suitable operation in Warwick RI. "Founded in 1870, the Rhode Island SPCA is the oldest nonprofit animal welfare organization in the state of Rhode Island and the third oldest in the country. They provide adoption and re-homing services, veterinary care, humane education, training support and pet owner assistance programs. The Rhode Island SPCA is also the only organization in the state that can legally investigate and prosecute cases of animal cruelty and neglect and takes an active role in legislative matters concerning the welfare of all animals in our state". Wayne has been with this cause, as a board member and then in the current position of President for 25 years, however he is looking at retirement. The RISPCA has seen much growth but still needs your help, the need dependable volunteers is great. They also have opportunities for you to contribute. The "Ales for Tails" fundraiser is coming up on Saturday, July 26th from 2p - 6p. They'll be at The Guild in Pawtucket RI with "live music, food trucks, raffles, dogs, and lots of fun!" The Guild will be donating proceeds from every pint of their special brew that day, to help the dogs at the shelter. Listen as Wayne details that event and the "Paws in the Park" coming up Saturday, September 13, 2025 at Goddard Memorial State Park.
