Preston Moore joins the ladies of Oh My Dog Rescue to talk about the state of animal advocacy in the state of Iowa. Preston is the Iowa State Director for the Humane World for Animals (Formerly the Humane Society of the United States). We dive into his history in the organization and the progression of animal rights in the state. Learn more about our current animal cruelty laws that are in place and those that are up for consideration in 2026. Join us for part 1 of 2.... because this topic is far too important for one episode (and we talk a lot!). Part 2 will launch 2/6/26.
