How to Help the Animals Affected by the Flooding in Western North Carolina
I can’t wrap my mind around the devastating images and videos coming out of Western North Carolina following the flooding from Hurricane Helene. I see the words “biblical and “once in a thousand years” used with news reports, but I can’t help but think that these thousand-year floods seem to be happening an awful lot lately all around the world. But this is not meant to be a diatribe about how we’re destroying our planet, it’s meant to provide information on where to donate to help organizations on the ground who are focusing on rescuing animals.Continue Reading

I Am Pawso: The Journey Begins
Written by Casey Hersch, LCSW
This is the first in a series of posts about Casey’s experience following the loss of her senior cat Yochabel.
