Dana and Erica can’t always get the human names right, but they know how important a dogs name is! What’s worse than a bad dog name? Not much. Erica’s dog has cancer and surgery is scheduled for next week. Not great news to get as a dog parent 🥺

Erica and Dana have their very first guest! In this episode, we have Danielle with Cactus PawPets join us in the hot seat. I think we probably could’ve talked to her for days and not learned even a fraction about her. This woman is very interesting and an absolute animal lover. Find her on social at Cactus Paws Pets or on her website https://cactuspawspets.com

How far is too far to take a dog to their new forever? Erica drove two full grown dogs from Arizona to Oregon to meet a family who wanted to adopt them… sight unseen!

Some people think the day you “rescue” a dog from a situation it is all smooth sailing. That is sometimes the easiest day. What goes into 1 dog that comes into a rescue will shock you.

Look for a couple hundred dogs moving from the old East Maricopa Shelter building to the new and waaaay improved East Shelter building. Dana dives in to the new facilities and why the old building just wasn’t a permanent solution.

Everyone seems to have watched the Reacher series AND everyone seems to have seen the episode where Reacher “saves” a dog from a “bad” situation. This one got us triggered and we will share with you why during this episode.

Dana and Erica share their stories of losing their dogs and how they have helped them cross to the rainbow bridge. With so many options for end of life care, we hope you can find comfort in knowing others share in your grief and there is no right or wrong way to be there for your pup at the end.

Navigating the loss of a dog is sometimes impossible.. Erica and Dana discuss personal loss and share their experiences to help you when it is time for your pup to cross the rainbow bridge.

Dana and Erica catch up and talk about different aspects of Rescue and where we are at now to start the new season

What came first? Being a little emotional so we got into rescue or getting into rescue and it made us emotional?
