The Messages Rescues Get Every Day

Please note: we show the actual messages on screen in the video version of this episode on YouTube. PJ and Christine of The Little Red Dog rescue open up their inbox and read real dog surrender requests: a perfect family dog left behind in a move, a grandmother's dog after a dementia diagnosis, a bulldog "jealous of the baby," surprise litters, and a family facing homelessness. They talk honestly about why rescues without open intake have to say no, why "I've tried everything" rarely holds up, and how training, vet care, and low-cost resources can keep dogs in their homes. Plus foster needs for Diesel, Smokey, Charlotte, and Dudley, and the good news story of Canyon, a shelter stray turned search and rescue hero.
