Animal Wise Radio's Beth and Mike meet up with an "Original" in animal sheltering. Marlene Foote, one of Animal Ark No-Kill Shelter's founders, joins us to reflect on what its like to look on 37 years of advocacy for animals, before No-Kill was considered a national movement.

As the film "Redemption" rolls out for special screenings, more people are becoming aware that there is a new day and new way for saving shelter animals. We are pleased to be able to speak with Marlene about her own reflections.

We also share an interview with Bonney Brown, one who brought Reno Nevada to a community wide 90% live release rate as Exec. Dir of the Nevada Humane Society. Her recent work, founding HumaneNetwork.org, and developing University of the Pacific's No-Kill Sheltering Management program, is also breaking new ground in animal sheltering.

Michael Mountain of EarthInTransition.org presents a spiritual reflection about how, as major shifts occur, WE participate in all of earth's creation.
