ABOUT CRITTER CRUSADES

Critter Crusades is a show honoring ordinary people on extraordinary missions to save animals and make the world safer for them. These unsung heroes tell their stories of why they give up their time, their money or personal lives to care for even one small creature and why it has changed their lives forever. Their inspirational stories prove that one person truly can make a difference.

ABOUT MISSY WOODWARD

MISSY WOODWARD, the host and co-producer of CC, hails from Waco, Texas and has been active in the animal rescue community for most of her adult life. Her career started in radio and television news as a reporter and anchor. Her experience in journalism, marketing, fundraising, business development and event planning has spanned a variety of industries and non-profit organizations. Most of her focus is civic minded with a goal to improve not only her local community but the world at large through the use of media. Currently a fundraiser for Stray Cat Alliance of Los Angeles, Missy educates the public on TNR (trap, neuter and return of stray/feral cats). Her cats Mallie, Jet and Salome are her furry feline kids. If she had time, she swears she would create the second Noah’s Ark.

CC is dedicated in memory of her many beloved pets, most especially her cat, Mootzi (1990-2008), and her dog, Astro (1990 – 2005).
