So You Want to Run a Dog Rescue

2.7: Behavioral Breakthroughs -- From 'Not Adoptable' to Happily Ever After


Listen Later

In episode 2.7, Jenny Nordin and Ashlyn Kauh recount a few success stories of "not adoptable" behavior dogs transferred from local shelters who were transformed with balanced training: Meet Rex, a fear-aggressive young shepherd; Bane, a Kujo-esque Corgi; Kota, a mini monster cattle dog; Bosco, an aggressively relentless humper; and Migo, a bitey cattle dog. They also share not-so-glamorous 'Not Your 9 to 5' moments involving receipt and assessment of poop pictures from fosters. The shit list this week targets a rescue that buys dogs from breeder auctions, exposing questionable practices in the world of so-called 'rescues.' With a mix of heartwarming successes and candid, funny anecdotes, listeners get an inside look at the highs and lows of running a dog rescue.
