Paws and Perros
If you are a dog, cat, or animal lover this is the show for you. Have you ever wondered how to foster animals, how to begin an animal rescue or pet based business when you don’t have the time, or simply how to become the best pet owner out there? Well search no more. I’m your host Raquel Cid. I’m from NYC, Dominican American and I’ve been fostering since 2018 with no formal dog or cat experience. Each week I will deconstruct the world of animal rescue. You’ll get to hear from me and the amazing people who are saving fury lives, impacting humans, and how you can do it too. We need more doers in the world and this podcast will equip you with the how, so you can focus on your why. To our cuddle friends, this is for you.
