Mitzi Brogdon: A Tapestry of Rescue and Recovery

missing pets: no place like home

Get ready to tune into an episode that will tug your heartstrings and inspire the animal lover in you. Today, we're joined by Mitzi Brogdon, the spirited director of the nonprofit Street Dog Rescue and Recovery. Mitzi opens up about her unique trapping methods to rescue a semiferal pup, the emotional journey of rehabilitating the little one, and how a warm den during an ice storm made the difference.
Next, we unravel the remarkable tale of Darcy, the missing English bulldog, and Mitzi's encounter with him deep within the woods. Listen as she recounts the heart-stopping moment Darcy recognized her, a memory that left an indelible mark on her life. If that wasn't enough, she also tells the unexpected story of Joe, a wolfhound/doodle mix, and his surprising connection with Darcy. Fancy finding out how Joe became a part of my family, despite Mitzi's husband's no-fosters rule?
Finally, we shift gears to discuss the responsibility pet owners hold. Mitzi and I explore the potential of nonprofit recovery work and highlight the powerful transformation physical therapy can bring to dogs with injuries. We also get real about the challenges of rescue work—from tracking rescued dogs to the heartbreaking acceptance of euthanasia as a solution to pet overpopulation. This episode is a testament to the highs and lows of animal rescue and the extraordinary bonds that form along the way.
