Animal shelters are no longer just places for homeless pets—they're becoming the heart of their communities.
In this episode of Top Dog Podcast, we sit down with Jane Tomsich, Executive Director of Licking County Humane Society. Drawing on more than 16 years in animal welfare, Jane shares how modern shelters can strengthen communities through prevention, transparency, fostering, and keeping pets with the families who love them.
In this conversation, we discuss:
✔ Why community-centered sheltering creates better outcomes ✔ Building trust through transparency and compassionate leadership ✔ How foster programs expand lifesaving capacity ✔ Keeping pets and families together through support services ✔ Leading teams with resilience in a challenging profession ✔ Why saying "yes" more often transforms animal welfare
Jane shares how believing in people, empowering staff, and investing in community partnerships can reshape the future of animal welfare.
