Buzz with Danu – Samantha Louise Piper

On today’s Buzz with Danu, I sit down with someone who has dedicated her life to compassion in action. Meet Samantha Louise Piper, the passionate Director of Animal SOS Ahangama, an organisation that has become a lifeline for hundreds of abandoned and injured dogs and cats in Sri Lanka.

From battling rising costs and staff shortages to rescuing animals dumped on the streets every week, Samantha leads her team with grit, heart, and an unshakable belief in second chances. In this conversation, we dive into the realities of running a shelter, the urgent challenges they face, and the hope she carries for creating a more compassionate community.

It’s a story of love, struggle, and survival — and one that reminds us all how much difference a single voice can make.
