Raise the Woof: Cynthia Bathurst

"It is so important to go into the neighborhoods and listen to the them...especially the children. Listen to what they have been taught and what they do without thinking by habit and to try move them to a place that recognizes compassion, the need for love on both sides.

We welcome Safe Humane Chicago’s President and Executive Director Cynthia Bathurst. I remember meeting her for the 1st time in 2012 and thinking, “damn. She is a badass.” It was great because she was one of the 1st people I met at Chicago Animal Control and it lead me to all the meaningful work they do in and out of the shelter and I ended up embracing SHC dogs. She is changing the world for the better and makes a huge impact in Chicago.
