    Cindy Drummond and Sarah Dube - LA Animal Rescue Volunteers
    Oct 22 2025
    Jean and Alison speak with Cindy Drummond and Sarah Dube - volunteers with the LA Animal Rescue. The LA Animal Rescue is a small but mighty team of dedicated volunteers and fosters committed to creating happy endings for each of the homeless and abandoned animals who come into their care. For their own wellbeing and through the generosity of sponsors, some animals live out the remainder of their lives with the rescue. However, most are safely rehomed to fully vetted and committed families. The rescue does not discriminate based on breed, age, health, or size of the animals they receive, nor do they focus on the previous family or circumstances. Instead, they choose to focus on each animal’s future, ensuring them a safe and healthy place to grow and thrive. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
