In this episode , we continue last week’s conversation about the challenges faced by dog rescue groups. While the previous episode focused on the difficulties presented by gatekeepers and front-facing roles, this week we shift the spotlight to the other side of the coin—poor accountability from those seeking to adopt or surrender dogs.
Rescue workers often deal with a barrage of excuses and a lack of responsibility from the public, making their already demanding jobs even more challenging. We unpack some of the most frustrating behaviours and explore how personal accountability can make a huge difference for rescue organisations, adopters, and the dogs themselves.
Beyond rescue, we discuss troubling behaviours in the broader dog industry. From unprofessionalism to ethical missteps, we address the importance of accountability at all levels. Finally, we dive into some wild conspiracies that initially seemed far-fetched but turned out to be surprisingly true.
This episode is an eye-opener for anyone passionate about dog welfare, offering insights into the struggles of rescue workers, the importance of personal accountability, and some jaw-dropping industry stories.
