Episode #20: Introduction to Washington Area Humane Society with Taylor Duda

In Episode #20 of the Intentional Wealth podcast, host Amy Braun-Bostich is joined by Taylor Duda, Director of Development for Washington Area Humane Society, to highlight the organization's 120-year evolution from a small volunteer-run effort to a modern no-kill shelter serving over 6,000 animals each year in Washington County. She shares how the Humane Society provides comprehensive medical care, adoptions, and lifesaving services for abandoned, abused, and stray animals, while also supporting local pet owners. Taylor and Amy also discuss the critical role of volunteers and the simple, relationship-focused process for adopting, donating, or getting involved to help more pets find safe, loving forever homes.

Discover the behind-the-scenes realities of running a busy humane society, including how the team responds to neglect and abuse calls, manages waitlists and foster care, and uses creative community programs - from food banks to low-cost vet services - to keep pets with their families and open space for more animals in need.
