Join us for episode 12 of Sit Stay Rant. In this eye-opening episode we're joined by our favorite rescue crew Amy, Gabby (holding the shoulder-sitting superstar foster dog Parrot), Emily, and Tiffany as we dive into the very real crisis of shelter and dog rescue overcrowding. One local shelter just hit a 20-year high in intake, and we’re breaking down why. From backyard breeders trying to turn a quick buck on unvaccinated poodles to “designer” litters with cleft palates and no safety net. We explore how the economy, social media, and misinformation have collided into a perfect storm. Along with owner surrenders are becoming more common and the sad fact that deportations are on the rise. Spoiler: It’s not the dogs’ fault, it’s us humans. Grab your coffee and your common sense; it’s time to talk about why the rescue world is treading water and what we can do to keep afloat.
