Learn About our New Guest Blogger, Jessica Brody!
We were delighted to receive an offer from Jessica Brody, a self described long term pet owner who knew “the seemingly infinite joy and love that comes from having a pet.” She also cited statistics that showed how the lack of prospective pet owners’ understanding about how to be great pet owners has led to a tragic disparity between the number of dogs and cats that end up in shelters and the low number of those in shelters that actually find new homes.
Ms. Brody asked if she might write and share an article about her thoughts on how to be a great pet owner. After reading what she had to say, we agreed to host her guest blog post. You will find it under the new tab. We think that you will enjoy hearing from someone who speaks from her experience and her heart.
