Pawareness Podcast # 11 │ Kris McCauley - About The Founder

On this episode of the Pawareness Podcast, I’m doing something different. I’d like to tell you a bit about myself and why this podcast was created. To start it off, I’m just your average, passionate, animal-loving entrepreneur. Having grown up with a bunch of pets, my love and respect for animals started young. Fast forward to 2020, I’ve been running a few different businesses and was introduced to fostering and rescuing dogs. I didn’t seek it out, but when I started fostering, I quickly saw and felt the fulfillment it gave me.
Just before the pandemic hit, I was volunteering with the Humane Society. It was great, but I felt like I could make a bigger impact. That’s when I got the inspiration to ask 150 animal rescue organizations this big question: What problems are you facing in your rescue? The three main problems that came up were money as a resource, space as a resource, and awareness. I knew I could tackle awareness, and so, the idea for the Pawareness Podcast was born.
I don’t have any professional experience with animals, but I do have the mindset that one person can make a world of a difference. So here we are! I’ve learned a ton already from these first 10 episodes and I have many goals for the future of this project. Come along with me on this eye-opening journey of learning, spreading awareness, and connecting with animal welfare leaders from across the nation.
Thank you to everyone who has already joined, we’re making a difference!
