On today’s episode we have Renai from Fetch a Cure.

FETCH a Cure is a 501 ©(3) non-profit organization focused on improving the quality of life for pets. Working with pet owners and the veterinary community, FETCH is furthering pet cancer awareness, education, and treatment. Their vision is simple: A community where no one is denied a choice for their pet’s health due to lack of options, education or funding.

Renai started volunteering for FETCH a Cure in 2017 and a foster for FETCH's Pixie's Pen Pals rescue program. In 2021 she began working for FETCH part time as the Volunteer and Community Outreach Coordinator and in 2022 after ten years as a teacher in the public school system, Renai joined FETCH a Cure full time as the Director of Development.

We also talk about stalkers, interesting historic olympic facts, and more!

Their Monthly Supper Club! Each month they host a giveback night at a restaurant around town.
