Eric talks with Gina, the co-founder of Happy Paws Haven, a Michigan-based animal rescue. Gina outlines her background and the rescue's mission, emphasizing their focus on long-term care for misunderstood animals that larger shelters might quickly deem unadoptable. She details the challenges of running a foster-based nonprofit, noting that she handles nearly all operational duties, including managing high veterinary costs which currently exceed $150,000 per year. The conversation also explores the rescue's expansive future vision to develop a 20-dog sanctuary and farm animal haven on recently acquired property, a plan that requires over $200,000 in fundraising to achieve state compliance.
