Description

In this episode, hosts Jenny and Ashlyn delve into the doodle dog craze and its impact on dog rescues. They discuss the oversaturated market, common health and behavioral problems of doodles, and the irresponsible breeding practices that contribute to shelter overpopulation. Ashlyn shares the story of Turbo, her beloved 16-year-old dog who passed from hemangiosarcoma, and how their family made the heart-breaking decision to let her go. They also provide insights for foster-based rescues on setting realistic expectations for foster families managing kennel cough among foster dogs.
