In this episode of the Pawareness Podcast, we welcome Gerard Elliot, Founder and Host of Pet Rescue Radio. Following an extensive career in broadcasting, Gerard integrated his passion with his desire to help animals in need. He explains how a tragedy involving his pet’s demise inspired him to start the radio.
Gerard’s primary goal for Pet Rescue Radio is to help raise awareness for pet owners about the effective and beneficial ways to take good care of their pets. The radio operates 24/7 and streams music of all genres - from pop to hip hop to the classics. But what makes this radio station unique is its animal-centered informational program that plays every 30 minutes.
Gerard also hosts the Pet Cafe Program on the radio where he announces the list of adoptable animals from rescues and shelters across the United States. These animals are currently in need of families and lasting homes.
“Our mission is very clear. We want to educate the public and to eradicate pet euthanasia in this country by the end of the decade.” - Gerard Elliot
