About Cheryl Moss

Cheryl Moss is the founder of Better Life for Animals, host of the Better Life for Animals Podcast, children’s author, and a passionate advocate for creating a more compassionate world for animals. Through education, storytelling, and advocacy, she is dedicated to helping people see animals as individuals worthy of kindness, respect, and protection.

A vegan for more than 20 years, Cheryl embraces a whole-food, plant-based eating protocol and believes that the choices we make every day can improve our health while creating a kinder world for animals and the planet.

As host of the Better Life for Animals Podcast, Cheryl shares inspiring stories from animal sanctuaries and interviews vegan advocates, ethical consumers, veterinarians, educators, nonprofit leaders, and changemakers working to improve the lives of animals. Her goal is to educate, inspire, and encourage meaningful action through thoughtful conversations and practical solutions.

Cheryl is the creator of the Funding Blueprint for Sanctuaries Summit, an educational event designed to help sanctuary leaders build stronger, more sustainable organizations through strategic fundraising, visibility, and donor engagement. Building on the success of the summit, she is currently writing The Funding Blueprint for Animal Sanctuaries, scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2027. The book provides practical strategies to help sanctuaries diversify their funding, strengthen donor relationships, and build long-term financial sustainability so they can focus on what matters most—the animals.

She is also the co-producer of the Youth for Animals Summit, bringing together young people, families, educators, veterinarians, and advocates to inspire the next generation of compassionate leaders.

Cheryl is the creator of Compassion in Action, a Better Life for Animals initiative that shines a spotlight on underrepresented animal sanctuaries through compelling stories of rescued animals and the people who care for them. By helping these organizations reach new audiences, the initiative raises awareness, builds community support, and encourages much-needed donations.

Professionally, Cheryl has built a successful career in banking and commercial appraisal. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and continued her professional education through the Pacific Coast Banking School in Seattle. She also holds the MAI designation from the Appraisal Institute.

A graduate of Main Street Vegan Academy, Cheryl has also completed Vystopia Transformation training developed by psychologist Clare Mann. This work focuses on helping people navigate the emotional impact of becoming aware of animal suffering while providing tools for resilience, effective communication, and compassionate advocacy.

Cheryl is the author of the illustrated children’s books Gabriel, Cluck, and Pickle the Pig, each encouraging young readers to develop compassion for animals, embrace kindness, and better understand the connection between our choices, animals, and the planet.

When she’s not writing, podcasting, or advocating for animals, Cheryl enjoys Pilates, spending time with her rescue dogs, Penny and Sophie, and making memories with her grandchildren.

Through Better Life for Animals, Cheryl continues to educate, inspire, and empower people to create lasting change for animals through compassion, education, and action.
