Does your community need better legislation for animal shelters and rescues? Join us as we welcome Brittnie Battle of Charlie’s Angels Saving Animals (CASA), a 501c3 non-profit rescue transport organization in Tennessee. CASA brings animals from overcrowded/underfunded rural shelters to rescues in the northeast that don’t have the overpopulation problem that the south has. In today’s episode, Brittnie talks about the challenges she’s facing while pushing a bill that will help enforce effective oversight of rural animal shelters in Tennessee. She details the story behind CASA, how CASA operates as a non-profit, and how they’re handling rapid growth and demand. Brittnie also sheds light on why CASA is creating boundaries with other shelters they’ve been helping, specifically with alleged kill shelters. Looking to adopt?
