Spotlight Conversations

Houston community leader Gloria Zenteno talks about her organization Barrio Dogs and family traditions with a band called 'Zenteno Spirit'

Donna Reed Episode 118

In the podcast studio today with Houston's pet advocate and community leader Gloria Zenteno, who along with her many volunteers work tirelessly for Barrio Dogs - an organization she started which helps Houston create a better future for animals. Gloria talks about her journey from leaving the corporate world of nearly 30 years to finding her true calling as an animal advocate; working alongside local civic leaders on Barrio Dog's programs like Pedal for Paws and the Fix-It Program; in addition to local businesses such as Camp Bow Wow and Kroger; to how a grass root effort turned into a strong community outreach program for animal advocacy. She also discusses her family's band 'Zenteno Spirit', with a special mention of her late sister-in-law Norma, who was one of the founding members of not only Zenteno Spirit, but Barrio Dogs as well. Join us!

Volunteer opportunities available. Reach out at info@barriodogs.org


About the Spotlight Conversations podcast:

Tune in as I invite friends inside my cozy linoleum free recording studio to talk about all things media - radio, television, music, film, voiceovers, audiobooks, publishing - if guests are in the spotlight, we're talkin'! Refreshingly unscripted and unusually entertaining, listen in as each guest gets real about their careers in the entertainment biz, from where they started to how it's going. Settle into my swanky studio where drinks are on ice and the conversation starters are music + media - always a deal breaker for the rock and roll homemaker!
