Rescue spotlight - Tony La Russa's Animal Rescue Foundation

This is the first in what we hope will be a recurring feature on Hound Opinions - Rescue Spotlight. It's always fun to shout out animal rescue organizations and the awesome work they do, and that's what Bill's doing this time.

On the pod this week is Erin Thompson. She's the marketing manager for Tony La Russa's Animal Rescue Foundation - the rescue founded in 1991 by White Sox manager Tony La Russa and his wife, Elaine. Since 1991, the Foundation has found families for more than 46,500 dogs and cats, performed more than 52,000 spay and neuter surgeries to combat overpopulation and 48 of their rescue dogs have become service dogs for military veterans.
