In this episode of the Pawareness Podcast, host Kris McCauley welcomes Tails Humane Society Executive Director Michelle Groeper. Located in Illinois, Tails Humane Society has been taking care of 3,400 animals a year. Most of the animals they take in are dogs, cats, mice, and all friendly and vulnerable species with fur. They aim to provide homes for these animals and medical care such as spay-neuter services.

Michelle defends kill shelters in communities that lack resources and assistance for adoption programs. While other shelters have the right connections and access to directly provide immediate homes for their rescues, some shelters lack these opportunities due to their location and environment. That doesn’t mean that they are not working on ways to uphold the animals’ lives and their chance to live.

Taking animals within their area and from those of southern communities as well as their partner organizations, Tails Humane Society maintains the mission to help animals in need and offer the immediate care they deserve. For them, keeping up with effective communication and establishing genuine connections are fundamentals to running a successful animal organization.

“We need to make sure we are communicating how many dogs we can get with our foster homes.” - Michelle Groeper
