Ep182 - Susan Linker
Interview! Susan Linker, Co-founder of Our Companions Animal Rescue
"We've come a long way with spay and neuter in our area."
Susan is the co-founder of Our Companions Animal Rescue, a forty-three acre sanctuary in Ashford, CT. A non-profit organization with 400 volunteers, 2,500 donors and plans to double in size, Our Companions Animal Rescue prioritizes creating a low-stress environment for cats and dogs to optimize better health and behavior, hence better adoption outcomes. Susan discusses ways to do this, including using cottages as 'real life' spaces for cats rather than stress-inducing cages. She and Stacy also discuss similarities and differences between 'sanctuaries' and 'adoption centers,' and the belief that both are only pieces in the animal welfare puzzle that also includes TNR, education and public policy.
