Guest Speaker(s) Topic:   Kimberly Greenwell Hannan;  "Unveiling the Urgent Need for Dog Rescue in the Deep South"

In this talk, Kim will delve into the pressing issue of abandoned and neglected dogs in the southern United States, shedding light on the reasons behind the dire need for rescue efforts. Explore the factors contributing to the overwhelming population of at-risk dogs, including socio-economic challenges, lack of education, inadequate resources, and cultural perceptions. Join us as we discuss the impact of regional disparities on animal welfare, and discover how rescues like beCAUSE 4 PAWS can pave the way for a brighter future for these Southern strays.
