Ebony Richardson has worked in animal welfare for nearly a decade, and she started Atlanta Dog Mom Club as a hobby. But to her surprise, the representation she brought to the dog mom space was much needed and immediately embraced by her community. So over the past eight months, Ebony has turned Atlanta Dog Mom Club into a full-fledged social club and founded a non-profit pet pantry and thrift store. In this episode, we’re chatting about how she works to make pet care more accessible for everyone, including: How Ebony’s love of animals bloomed at an early age What advocacy in the pet space looks like for both animals and humans Busting the myth that there’s an ideal income for pet owners The prejudices that exist when it comes to adopting dogs from shelters Gatekeeping in the pet industry and what can be done about it How the Atlanta Dog Mom Club goes above and beyond to make sure all dogs (and their moms!) feel welcome and accepted Tune in for a conversation that we need to have way more often in the pet space.
