About this listen

On this episode of Cattitude, Michelle Fern welcomes Sherrie Hines, professor at the University of Georgia School of Law and the new director of the groundbreaking PAWS (Practicum in Animal Welfare Skills) program. With over a decade of experience shaping animal-welfare policy, open-records law, and shelter operations—plus years as a public defender and a hands-on rescue volunteer—Sherrie brings rare insight into the legal and ethical challenges facing pets, shelters, and adopters today. From holiday adoption surges and what every pet parent should know, to the hidden legal risks behind “No-Kill” branding, to the First Amendment issues affecting public comments and online advocacy, Sherrie offers expert, actionable guidance for anyone who loves animals and wants to protect them. It’s an eye-opening, empowering conversation you won’t want to miss.
