Description
Interview! Amanda Arrington, Director, Pets for Life Program at The Humane Society of the United States Amanda’s childhood interests in both animals and in social justice have led her to a career overseeing a groundbreaking program to help not just pets, but people in underserved areas. She leads he innovative HSUS “Pets for Life” initiative, which is active in 34 communities across the US where there are high poverty rates and little to no access with services for pets. This work is done in a grass roots format, going door to door and street by street to find out what’s needed for each community member. The aim is not to “educate” according to Amanda, but to share information and offer services; when you do, she says, “ the majority of people make the right decisions” regarding their pets.
