Rescue Rollercoaster

This week on Rescue Rollercoaster, we're sharing two stories that highlight very different experiences, but both bring us back to one uncomfortable truth about animal rescue.

First, we're sharing Callie's Great Escape! What started as a happy adoption quickly turned into a search that nobody could have predicted. From the moment Callie walked into her new home to the frantic efforts to bring her back safely, this story is full of unexpected twists, stressful moments, a little chaos, and a reminder of just how much a community can come together when an animal needs help. And this...

This week on RescueRollerCoaster, we're tackling an uncomfortable but important question: Are we truly helping the animals if we're not following through on spay and neuter? We discuss rescue accountability, pet overpopulation, and why saving a dog is only part of the responsibility.

☕️ This week on Rescue Rollercoaster, we're spilling the tea on the messy side of animal rescue. An anonymous email, some serious accusations, and a bigger conversation about how we treat the people working alongside us to save animals.

🎢 Buckle up, Rescue Riders. This one...

Why I Created This Podcast | Reese, Carly, and the Stories That Stay With Us

In this episode, I share why it matters for those of us who have been on the rescue side to have a place to tell our stories. Rescue isn't always the happy ending people see on Facebook. It's complicated, emotional, exhausting, and sometimes heartbreaking. Behind every dog is a...

Intro, The story of T and how he touched our family, the reason people dont leave rescue. If you have a crazy rescue story of your own, I want to hear it! The good, the bad, the ugly, the heartbreaking, and the stories that sound so completely ridiculous that nobody would believe you unless they’d been there themselves.

Send me a voice recording or write your story down and email it to [email protected]. You can share one story or a whole collection of them. I promise, there is no shortage of craziness in...
