We begin the show with a delightful romp across the animal kingdom and the animated creatures of renown with Lori and Peter. Apologies to Jim Henson. Then, learn about the early days of the Audubon Society, why and how it came to be, with Kate Kelly.
Peter continues by welcoming Karen Menczer, Founder and Director of Animal-Kind International (AKI). Karen established this exemplary animal welfare organization in 2007 to serve needy and abused dogs and cats (and now horses) in various countries in Africa. In this discussion, Karen talks about three local groups AKI supports and partners with, Uganda Society for the Protection & Care of Animals, Sauvons nos Animaux-Democratic Republic of Congo, and The Six Freedoms-Ghana. AKI carefully evaluates and then partners with select groups which are lovingly and diligently working to help dogs, cats and horses in Africa.

Karen Menczer is an amazing person and Animal-Kind Intl. is so effective in raising funds to support their partner organizations. Please checkout their website and consider donating to support USPCA, Sauvons Nos Animaux or Six Freedoms Ghana!
Enjoyed this. Always love to hear about animals. I especially liked the history of Animal-Kind International and their work in Africa from their founder Karen Menczer. The work of AKI in Uganda is a real inspiration. They have really grown in the past 16 years, helping so many animals.

I love reading about animals and their interesting lives! This blog post is very informative and I learned a lot about the early days of the Audubon Society. I’m glad to hear that Animal-Kind International is working to help dogs,
