​​In Episode 2.10 hosts Jenny Nordin and Ashlyn Kauh share behind-the-scenes stories about the day-to-day operations of their Pacific Northwest foster-based dog rescue. They delve into what the AF is happening in King County, from the city of Des Moines cancelling its animal control contract (good luck to lost dogs and strays!) to RASKC erecting pop-up kennels in the parking lot to house overflow dogs. They ponder a name change (Dogs in Seattle?) and share five reasons for the dog overpopulation crisis in King County, and the country at large. In the Crazy Folder, they tackle absurd advice from the unnamed online "dog training" forum, and share the controversial tale of Sarge the pitbull, who really needs a dirt nap. Strap in for a blend of crisis management, unexpected laughs, and frank discussions about the present and future challenges in dog rescue.
