Hazel's House Rescue: Boundaries, Burnout, and Big Hearts


Listen Later

In our first interview ever on Tails of Resilience, we sit down with Brittany Hazel, the passionate founder of Hazel’s House Rescue, to explore what it really takes to run a small, volunteer-based animal rescue.

Brittany shares how her upbringing shaped her path into rescue work, with a family that fostered and saved animals long before it became her mission. We talk about the misunderstood world of rescue—how public expectations can clash with the reality of limited resources—and why compassion from the community truly matters.

She also opens up about the importance of boundaries as a form of self-care, how she tunes into the early signs of burnout, and the emotional resilience required to keep showing up for animals in need.
