Description

In this episode, we chat with Diane Shaw, president of the Ohlone Humane Society. She shares the vivid patchwork of her life, stitched together with stories of post-college adventures, a fulfilling career, and a retirement that's anything but idle. Diane's story is a testament to the beauty of civic involvement, revealing a journey where even the smallest acts of volunteerism blossom into a richer experience of community connection.

As we spotlight the lifeline forged between humans and their cherished pets, our conversation illuminates the network of care that the Ohlone Humane Society extends to our feline friends through their innovative Trap Neuter Return program. Without a traditional shelter, their approach is as unique as the wildlife they protect, including a wildlife rehabilitation center tucked away in Newark. It's a heartening look into how dedicated fosters, volunteers, and the TNR team are pivotal in responsibly managing community cat populations and preserving our local ecosystem, weaving a narrative that intertwines with Fremont's own rich history.

Join us for an exploration of how engaging in the community can reshape not only the lives of countless animals but also our own. We talked about Diane's commitment to the Ohlone Humane Society and her multifaceted path to leadership. It's a conversation that champions the ripple effect of volunteering — how a single act can inspire continuous involvement, shaping both individual lives and the wider community. Discover the power of collective effort and the unexpected joys of uncovering hidden community gems with us.
