In this episode of Surviving Animal Rescue here at Coco's Heart, we sit down with some of the original volunteers and dedicated dog care team who helped shape the dog care program at the rescue from the ground up. What started as a small group of passionate animal lovers quickly grew into a structured, compassionate system focused on giving every animal the safety, enrichment, and individualized attention they deserve.
We dive into the early days... what worked, what didn’t, and the lessons learned along the way. From daily routines and behavioral challenges to emotional burnout and big wins, this conversation offers an honest look at what goes into the day to day within our dog care program.
Whether you’re a volunteer, foster, rescue leader, or just someone who cares deeply about animal welfare, this episode highlights the people and purpose behind the scenes and why strong dog care programs are the backbone of any rescue.
We are always looking for more volunteers to join our dog care team as well. Head over to our cocosheartdogrescue.org website to submit your volunteer application today!
