The West Place Animal Sanctuary in Tiverton, Rhode Island, was recently named a finalist for the Defender Service Awards, a national competition that recognizes nonprofits that make a positive impact in their communities.

It is the state’s oldest and largest sanctuary for farm animals rescued from abuse, neglect, and cruelty. Wendt Taylor, the group’s founder and executive director, spoke with morning host Luis Hernandez about the work being done at the sanctuary to improve the lives of abused and neglected animals.
