<p>Today I am joined by Liz Wheeler of Secondhand Stories Chicken Sanctuary. Liz is a passionate animal advocate who has spent her life dedicated to protecting animals and inspiring compassion for them. She has completed a certificate in Animal Welfare from Thompson Rivers University and a certification in Anthrozoology at the University of Windsor. Her enthusiasm for connecting people and animals together has led her to a career as a professional fundraiser. She&#39;s worked at the Ottawa Humane Society, Humane Canada (Canadian Federation of Humane Societies) and is currently the Philanthropy Manager at Faunalytics. </p><p>In 2022, Liz began rescuing chickens and is now the proud founder of Secondhand Stories Chicken Sanctuary.
