In addition to the informational links I usually provide along with my interviews, I have also compiled some data from HARP and the other major local shelter, Animal Friends. I pulled the data from each organization’s latest annual reporting, which is 2019 for Animal Friends and 2020 for HARP. The data, both financial and intakes and outcomes, won’t be perfectly comparable for reasons I’ll share on the web page with the data, but some information is better than none. And, of course, as always, the first-person experiences of my guest give us a perspective we can’t get anywhere else. https://www.pghtails.com/episode-17-the-water-charissa-swims-in daily 0.75 2021-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b282b303917ee63962894ca/1615156866316-BQLMP6BLWURENLDFGCB5/image-asset.jpeg episode 1.7: the water charissa swims in - The water Charissa swims in Charissa Clark Howe is a friend I met through knitting many years ago who now has a therapy dog and a therapy cat.
