## Resource

Before Keep it Humane , there was The Humane Roundup — the show that started it all. In this special episode, we bring back two of the original hosts of The Humane Roundup — the voices who helped lay the foundation for the conversations we’re still having today. We revisit where it all began, why the show was created, what was happening in animal welfare at the time, and how those early discussions shaped what the podcast has become. We talk about: The original mission behind The Humane Roundup How the profession has evolved since those early episodes The hard lessons, the proud moments, and the behind-the-scenes stories Why the rebrand to Keep it Humane mattered And what still needs to change in animal control and sheltering This isn’t just a reunion. It’s a reflection on growth — personal, professional, and as a field. If you’ve been with us since the beginning, this one’s for you. If you’re new here, this is your origin story. Because the conversations that shaped this profession didn’t start yesterday. They started with people willing to press record and speak honestly about the work. And that’s exactly what we’re doing again.
