In Episode 2.18 hosts Jenny Nordin and Ashlyn Kauh discuss their experiences managing the largest foster-based rescue in the Pacific Northwest. They share updates on some dogs in their care, and recount both successful adoptions and challenging returns. Amid the chaos, they emphasize core values: people matter, proper preparation is key, and transparency is paramount. Throw in some humor and occasional colorful language for a no-holds-barred insight into the daily operations and ethos of their rescue.
