Loveland, Ohio – The oldest and one of the largest no-kill shelters in Cincinnati, Ohio graced me with their presence on my latest episodes of the Table of Discussions! The League for Animal Welfare, which was founded in 1949, provides much-needed care for over 1,800 unwanted, lost, and neglected cats and dogs.
I sat down with Executive Director, Devon Smith, and Enrichment Coordinator, Ronni Valle to talk about the League for Animal Welfare’s sheltering services, and their clinic that includes a spay/neuter voucher program, vaccine clinics, veterinary assistance program, and much more! Did I mention we had special furry guest Zumi in the studio too?
So sit back with your fur babies and enjoy my latest Table of Discussions episode featuring Devon, Ronni, and Zumi from the League for Animal Welfare!
