In this special live episode of Pets Add Life, recorded at Superzoo in Las Vegas, hosts Kristen and Chris dive into the inspiring stories of two incredible guests who are making a difference in the world of animal care and welfare.
Christy Stevens, Founder & Executive Director of Hearts Alive Village Christy shares the heartfelt journey of founding Hearts Alive Village, Las Vegas's only all-in-one animal rescue. Motivated by a dream she shared with her daughter, Christy turned her passion for animal welfare into a reality, creating a sanctuary that offers a vet clinic, adoption center, fostering, rehoming, and more. She discusses the challenges of building such an impactful organization, the importance of owner-support programs in reducing pet homelessness, and her vision for the future of Hearts Alive Village.
Freddy Jacob Caseres, Owner of Freddy’s Reptiles Freddy recounts his lifelong fascination with reptiles, from catching house geckos as a child to owning his very own reptile store in Las Vegas. Freddy's mission is to ensure that each reptile is hand-tamed, kid-friendly, and well-suited for families. He talks about the rewards and challenges of working with reptiles, offers advice for first-time reptile owners, and shares stories of some of the most unique reptiles that have passed through his doors.
