Today’s guest is my newest inspiration in the rescue world. I met her on Twitter of all places, a few months ago, when My Rescue Rocks was still just the name of a podcast I was envisioning. I had literally just created the Twitter account for the show, and we only had maybe 20 followers. That’s why I was nearly in shock when this huge rescue advocate with a 6-digit following actually followed me back – on BOTH of my Twitter accounts.
Not only is our storyteller for today passionate about rescue, but she is a true animal activist who will help even the little people like you and me. In the past two months I’ve seen her posing with pit bulls, and even laying out in the street in nothing but body paint to make a statement against the fur industry. This lady is also a stunning model, and her work doesn’t stop there, she’s also the first and ONLY female scout for the NBA.
Bonnie-Jill Laflin, is an animal rescue rock star! Listen in, as she tells us about her dog, Asur, the canine veteran who went blind and almost got left behind.
