​In this delightful and insightful episode, hosts Jenny Nordin and Ashlyn Kauh are joined by Toni 'Clipboard' Crane, the puppy program director at Dog Gone Seattle since 2019. The trio dive into the daily chaos and rewards of running the largest foster-based rescue in the Pacific Northwest, highlighting everything from the development and inner-workings of the puppy program and intricacies of puppy decompression to most challenging and memorable puppies and foster families. Plus, in Not Your 9 to 5 they navigate a mysterious ataxia with adoptable puppy Grizzly. Finally, on the Shit List it's entitled applicant Emma who goes to Yelp to air grievances, and the infamous Puppy Yoga Club in our DMs. ​Stay tuned after the Outro for hilarious deleted scenes from this Trio of rescuers who take calls from each other in the shower.
