## Resource

We welcomed returning guest Melanie Ryan for an update on the latest from Beck’s Place. Beck's Place removes pet related barriers to human health, safety, and security by providing safe and loving temporary foster care for pets who are in need due to situations such housing issues, health crises, and even domestic violence. Beck’s Place serves Snohomish County residents and can always use more help with temporary fosters (fosters can be located in other parts of the state if need be). Their Mobile Outreach program helps get food to pets whose families are having financial challenges. And, as of Spring 2026 a new fundraiser has been launched where, for just $49, you can provide one night of safety for a pet in need. Learn more about their ongoing work and this new program, along with volunteering opportunities, at www.becksplace.org
