About this episode
Ruff Haven is a local organization that takes care of people’s pets while they are experiencing crisis. This could mean housing insecurity, rehab or hospitalization, or seeking temporary refuge in a place where you can’t take them with you. The goal is to ensure that on the other side of crisis, people can be reunited with their dog, cat, or other support creature. City Cast is sponsoring a punk rock show to support this fine organization. Today, Ali connects with Dr. Rennie Putnam, one of Ruff Haven’s veterinarians, to talk about our loneliness epidemic and the role of crisis companions.
