On Animal Wise Radio today we'll be covering the recent Austin-based American Pet's Alive Conference, where the topics are all about the how-to's of the no-kill equation.

We'll also have a conversation with blogger and activist Bett Sundermeyer who has been writing about Houston's sheltering scene and working to promote no-kill in her community for several years. She'll share updates, observations and conversation about No-Kill Houston, and why transparency in animal sheltering is so important to any change or progress.

We have news from the ever-expanding Just One Day campaign and more.

Plus, Michael Mountain of Earth in Transition contributes by remembering Pat Derby - one animal trainer who turned from training to providing sanctuary for captive elephants.
