Welcome back to another edition of Sit-Stay Rant, where we unleash the real mess behind rescue. Amy (yes, finally nailing the tagline) is joined by Emily, Tiffany, Gabby, and making her debut, Victoria, one of our powerhouse volunteers who doesn’t take nonsense from anyone.

This episode dives straight into the surprises no one warns you about when you step into the world of rescue. From the first time witnessing a transport truck unload (think chaos, exhaustion, and sometimes borderline inhumane conditions) to the devastating heartbreak of Parvo-positive puppies, our crew gets real about the moments that shook them the most.

Victoria shares how her early experiences in 2020 with sick transports changed the way she saw rescue forever. We talk about what really happens when dogs get sick on the road, the impossible choices rescues face, and the sheer volume of animals moved across the country just to have a chance at survival.

Between the laughs (yes, Gabby’s still single, and Amy swears she only has “one dog”… maybe three), and the sobering truths, this episode pulls back the curtain on the messy, human, and heartbreaking side of rescue work.
