We are all in this Together



Hanna, in the classroom,
 mapping out her journey from
Kuwait to Washington, D.C.

 Nearly two weeks ago Hanna Rhodin Al-Mansour, the shelter manager at K'Spath (Kuwait Society for the Protection of Animals and Their Habitat), accompanied five dogs on a Lufthansa flight from Kuwait to Frankfort to Washington, DC.  The dogs are now available for adoption at the Washington Animal Rescue League. 

Hanna spent the week with different WARL staff members.  Her goal was to learn as much about sheltering as possible in seven days.  And, while we were happy to share our knowledge with her, we were just as eager to learn about K'Spath -- an organization that deals not only with dogs and cats, but pocket pets, equine, and wildlife including baboons! K'Spath is a young organization that has accomplished a lot in a short time.   Videos about the organization can be viewed by clicking on

When Hanna accompanied me to a school visit, I took a seat and asked her to share information with the students about K'Spath.   It's not every day that you meet someone whose rescue work includes caring for the habitat of the caprimulgus aegyptius or the Egyptian Nightjar.
