In this weeks episode, we tackle some of the frustrating realities of the dog rescue world. We discuss how certain rescue groups create excessive red tape and barriers, making it incredibly difficult for well-meaning adopters to rescue a dog. This unnecessary gatekeeping can delay or prevent good people from giving a dog a loving home, and we explore why this happens and its impact on both adopters and dogs.
On the flip side, we highlight the issue of loose operators who quickly “flip” dogs without the proper care or management. These operators often overlook essential safety and behavioural checks, putting both the dogs and new owners at risk. The episode brings to light these stark contrasts within the dog rescue community.
However, it’s not all criticism. We also take a moment to recognise and celebrate the incredible rescue workers who truly make a difference. These dedicated individuals sacrifice time, energy, and resources to save dogs, often working tirelessly and under challenging conditions. Their passion and commitment deserve our deepest respect and gratitude.
Join us as we unpack the complexities of the dog rescue world, share real stories, and advocate for a more balanced, responsible approach to helping dogs in need.
