Delanie Fischer is joined by Lisa Lange, Senior Vice President of Communications for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, to share what to consider before bringing an animal into your home, how to adopt ethically, and everyday care tips for promoting health and longevity. Lisa also debunks common myths, gives us insider details often kept from the public, and outlines three ways to help combat the nationwide animal homelessness and overpopulation crisis (tens of millions of animals are overwhelming shelters, abandoned on streets, etc.). This information is coming to you judgment-free—Delanie even shares about her own missteps with animals, and what she’s doing differently these days. Whether you're looking to adopt, already caring for animals, or want to be a more effective advocate, this will rattle you in the best way.Plus:+ Can Dogs Be Hypoallergenic?
