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's worked at the Ottawa Humane Society, Humane Canada (Canadian Federation of Humane Societies) and is currently the Philanthropy Manager at Faunalytics.

In 2022, Liz began rescuing chickens and is now the proud founder of Secondhand Stories Chicken Sanctuary. Her passions include convincing government officials to care about animals and eating vegan food.
