How can people interested in volunteering to transport and/or foster animals coming in to the U.S. from Afghanistan get more information on the program?

Great question! You can visit the website of Tigger House at http://www.afghanstrayanimals.org/

You'll find info there about the shelter and how you can donate money or time to their efforts.

Thanks for listening to the show!
