When our hearts are open, we become more tuned in to animal suffering. Although empathy can be considered a gift, this quality may lead us to feel disillusioned and even angry with people who express apathy toward animals. Concrete rescue tools are needed in order for us to stay uplifted while we manage the sorrow and other overwhelming feelings we are confronted with, by having huge hearts in an often-times cruel world. Join our webinar with Gentle Barn Foundation founder Ellie Laks, who will rescue your inner rescuer from heartbreak and isolation.

The Gentle Barn Foundation is a national organization that rescues and rehabilitates unwanted animals, and heals people with similar stories of abuse and neglect. Ellie is a celebrated animal welfare advocate, humane educator, and the author of “My Gentle Barn: Creating a Sanctuary Where Animals Heal and Children Learn to Hope.” The Foundation has animal sanctuaries located throughout the United States, in California, Tennessee, and Missouri.

Gentle Barn Foundation’s founder Ellie Laks shares rescue strategies for rescuers on our next Sustainable Activism Webinar on Thursday, October 5, 5 pm – 6 pm PT (8 pm – 9 pm ET). You can join this live webinar via phone or online, or listen to the replay later.
