Listen Later

Ever heard someone say they “had to” give up their pet because they had a baby or were moving? Let’s unpack that.

In this episode, Amy teams up with fellow pet podcaster and dog training expert Jessica L. Fischer to confront the most common excuses people give when surrendering their pets. Together, they challenge the myths, explore what’s really behind these reasons, and offer a candid conversation about responsibility, compassion, and commitment in pet ownership.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

  • What’s often left unsaid behind common pet surrender reasons
  • How to navigate life changes like babies, moves, and relationship splits without giving up your pet
  • What responsible pet parenting actually looks like and why it matters more than ever

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to be part of the solution to the pet surrender crisis.
