Show 16: Real Talk and Tears, with the Taiwanese Animal Rescue Superhero, Sean McCormack Today’s Guest SEAN MCCORMACK - Founder of Animal Care Trust ACT

Accountant turned animal-rescuer, my guest today is Sean McCormack, founder of the Taiwan SPCA, head of the Animal Care Trust, and an all-round great guy. He’s worked with the likes of Cesar Milan, Ian Dunbar, Jane Goodall and, well, me!

Sean’s rescued thousands of animals, and his sanctuary is currently the home of over 200 dogs and cats - and a flying squirrel. Many are adopted out or released back into the wild, but those who aren’t live happily on the SPCA property—a no-kill shelter.

Unlike many traditional “rescue” centers that primarily take on surrendered pets, Sean actually rescues dogs who’ve been caught in traps, injured by other animals, or just homeless and in bad shape.

Sean’s got some amazing and touching stories to tell, so get comfy and take a listen!
