Sometimes the stories that teach us the most, are the ones we don’t want to hear. Audrey Lodato is not easily shocked after her many years of working in rescue… but when Pets Alive was called to help save nearly 50 neglected animals, what they found shocked them all. Find out what happened and find out what we can do to heal hoarding in the future.

Thanks John!!! I’m so glad you liked it =)
Pets Alive is a fantastic organization and their staff and volunteers are the best.
I volunteer when I can and have adopted many animals from them as well. Give if you can if you can’t give of your time. Audrey is the best !!!
Thanks for sharing !!!
Thanks Karen! I agree =) Pets Alive (and PAW while they’re still around…) get 10% of my pet photography and pet art sales and I plan on increasing that number up to 50% over time! I used to volunteer there too, a few years ago, and met some wonderful people there!
