Ep188 - Susan Rosenberg

Interview! Susan Rosenberg, Director of International Animal Programs at GreaterGood.org

"I am working to save everything from ants to elephants."

One could say that Susan Rosenberg has been managing animal shelters since she was 8 years old—at that age, she was covertly caring for abandoned animals in her backyard and using her allowance to do so! She has received two "calls of a lifetime," as she calls them—first from Paul Jolly to work for the Petco Foundation, after her tremendous success in setting up a community adoption program at her local Petco; and second from greatergood.org, who offered her the director position of International Animal Programs. Susan's work has touched the lives of animals and people quite literally from coast to coast—while working for the Petco Foundation, she orchestrated community adoption programs at stores across the country. It is now a company-wide mandatory program for every Petco location! It doesn't stop there. In Susan's work for greatergood.org, she finds herself in the happy position to help not just companion animals, but wild animals as well. The organization's highly successful funding efforts allow her to choose interesting and unique programs to assist, such as a bat sanctuary in desperate need of a well. Susan's work is truly changing the world and making it a better place!
