2.13: To Fetch or Not to Fetch, and Dog Rescue Revelations

So You Want to Run a Dog Rescue

In episode 2.13, hosts Jenny Nordin and Ashlyn Kauh serve up a mix of heartwarming stories, ridiculous owner surrender antics, and a fetching debate that broke the internet -- to fetch or not to fetch, that is the question! They have answers. Inside the rescue, they celebrate Brianne at a 50th foster meet up at their old stomping grounds Hellbent Brewing, highlight adoptions of long-term residents Banks and Sahara, and juggle 5+ year adoption returns for Apollo and Rocky. The Crazy Folder is back with rescues who need rescue and shitty rescues, and Jenny and Ashlyn weigh in on animal communicators. Get ready for a rollercoaster ride of the good, bad, and downright hilarious in the dog rescue universe.
