Maple: Available for adoption through Love-A-Bull.org

Dog rescue boss and dog trainer Lindsey Ortiz joins Crystal in this episode all about the often confusing world of rescues and shelters. We discuss the differences, pros and cons of adopting from each, and how they work together.

Plus! How do they get their funding? How does a no-kill city work? Why don’t rescues and private shelters typically take owner-surrendered dogs? Are animal control officers really as evil as the cartoons depict? Where do all these dogs come from? Why is Winnie digging in the trash again?

So, if you’re looking to adopt, foster, volunteer, donate, or just get an insider scoop on the web of animal care and how it all works (or can work) together, listen to this.
