Shaping a Compassionate Future for Animals - Sullivan County Animal Shelter

Benchmark Happenings

Have you ever wondered how you could make a difference in the life of a shelter animal? Join us as we sit down with the tireless Brandi Perky, director of Sullivan County Animal Shelter, and unravel her remarkable 10-year journey in animal welfare. From the cat room to the kennels and finally the office, Brandy recounts her experiences with passion and empathy, reminding us of the deep emotional connection between animals and their human counterparts.
Brandy's story is not just about caring for animals; it's about making substantial changes in their lives. Imagine reducing a shelter's euthanasia rate from a heart-wrenching 40% to a mere 3% in just four years! That's exactly what Brandy and her dedicated team accomplished through strategic protocols, community education, and robust programs. The measures not only provided immediate relief but also focused on the long-term welfare of the animals, such as low-cost spaying and neutering services. Also, get insights into the surprising benefits of microchipping and how social media plays a vital role in reuniting lost pets with their owners.
But what does it take to adopt a pet? Brandy walks us through the process, emphasizing the importance of regular veterinary care, dental health, and a solid understanding of the commitment involved. She also shares about the unique volunteer opportunities at the shelter, and upcoming events like the National Night Out in Bristol. This conversation is a treasure trove of information for animal lovers, potential pet owners, and anyone passionate about animal welfare. Join us and let's explore the world through the eyes of our furry friends!
