We’re back with another catch-up episode, and this one’s packed with big updates and even bigger heart. Founder Jen Dulski joins us to share what’s been going on behind the scenes over the past month—starting with a life-saving 4th of July weekend rescue mission that pulled over 40 dogs off the euthanasia list in Oklahoma. 

We also dive into the exciting news of leasing a new building to expand our impact in Wichita, plus the latest on some expansion projects at the Oz shelter. As always, we reflect on the deeper why—what it means to build something that lasts, and how every hard-fought victory is part of the legacy we’re leaving behind.

If you care about second chances, grassroots grit, and the power of love in action, this one’s for you.
