084: Lake Norman Humane - Meet Executive Director Jason Hayes

In this episode, we’re featuring a conversation with one of our favorite non-profit organizations - Lake Norman Humane. Lake Norman Humane rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes companion animals. Their vision is of a community where pets are safe and healthy in loving homes. Lake Norman Humane works to keep families and their beloved pets together whenever possible through an array of programs and services. They facilitate the adoption of nearly 800 pets every year into loving, forever homes. To help reduce the pet overpopulation problem, they partner with clinics and area veterinarians to offer affordable and accessible spay/neuter services.The Executive Director for Lake Norman Humane, Jason Hayes, joins me for this episode. Jason shares the story of how he became involved with animal welfare organizations after the adoption of a puppy some years ago. That adoption and a volunteering experience that followed would set Jason’s career on a totally new path working with nonprofits whose missions are to make sure healthy, adoptable dogs and cats are given the chance to live meaningful lives with loving families.Jason and I both recognize several friends of Lake Norman Humane during this conversation. Stay with us until the end of the episode where I’ll summarize for you those friends and local businesses that are helping Lake Norman Humane and providing much-needed support for the work they’re doing there.
