Humane Society of the US CEO visits the League

July 20, 2011

On July 18, Humane Society of the United States president and CEO, Wayne Pacelle, visited the League to discuss some of the convictions and observations he’s included in his new New York Times best-seller, The Bond: Our Kinship with Animals, Our Call to Defend Them.  During his introductory remarks, he had this to say about the League:

“WARL is truly one of the outstanding examples of a modern animal shelter that breaks the stereotype of a depressing place with forgotten animals waiting to die and replaces it with a welcoming, uplifting place where animals are loved and well cared for. Its renovation started a wave of re-building among animal shelters in the country based on their model and the idea that the shelters can be places of healing and rest.”

His thought provoking and inspiring book can be purchased on Amazon.com.
