#AnimalRescue 
In this honest and eye-opening episode, Nancy Johnson and Hannah Cottle from the Humane Society of Raleigh County sit down with J.D. to talk about the harsh realities of operating a no-kill animal shelter in southern West Virginia.

They share the behind-the-scenes challenges most people never see—overcrowding, underfunding, emotional burnout, and the constant fight to save every life that comes through their doors. This conversation pulls no punches but also highlights the compassion, commitment, and community that keeps the shelter going against all odds.
