"Dogs they lower stress. They help with a healthier heart. They help you have a more active lifestyle. And they help people that are feeling lonely, or have lost somebody during COVID, or for any reason. These are angels walking amongst us. We're having a debate on whether or not creatures that bring healing to our community should be locked up and forgotten. It makes no sense. The pounds need to be open now. And I feel that whoever is making these choices needs to be held accountable. And maybe have a second look if they are really what is best for LA county." --Theodore Trent on The Rescue Report Podcast, July 14th, 2021.

A good dog bites a good rescuer.... Randee reports on her latest problems, with Rico the rescue dog chomping her hand bad enough for an Urgent Care visit or two. We've got a great trainer recommendation, and Ryan let's us all know about the Free Animal Doctor spay and neuter clinic in Arcadia, California. Then we kevetch about the state of the shelters in Los Angeles, supposedly post-COVID. It is a packed hour!!!

We are looking for advocates of RTF for cats to come on the pod! Email us at rescuereportpodcast@gmail.com we want to give you a voice!
HELP US! We need it! Like a lot..... also email us at rescuereportpodcast@gmail.com THANKS!
Today Ryan and Randee commiserate on the passing of Ryan's dog Buddy, wonder about how some dogs are easy to adopt and others are not, and eventually at the 47 minute mark (skip ahead, we don't mind!) get into a detailed interview with advocate Sharon Logan about her "Cease and Desist" letter to Orange County Animal Control, and her newly filed lawsuit against the San Diego Humane Society regarding Trap Neuter Release (TNR) and Return to Field (RTF) programs at both locations with the cat population.
Sharon has a lot of solid information to share, and this interview is a good introduction to the subject if you are not that knowledgeable (like Ryan), but also informative if you are well versed on the subject! Sharon is an advocate for that she terms "true" TNR, but is against RTF. If YOU or someone you know supports RTF, we are interested in hearing from you and having you on the pod! Shoot us an email at rescuereportpodcast@gmail.com
Finally, we end the pod today with some tips about dealing with the fireworks madness with your doggos from Randee, and then go out on possibly one of the best renditions of the Star Spangled Banner ever recorded live, Whitney Houston in 1991 at the Super Bowl in Tampa..... if nothing else just fast-forward to the end of today's pod and listen to her hit those notes at the end! "Astounding" is not superlative enough of a word! Happy 4th ya'll!!!
Note: Ryan is putting together more detailed show notes with copies of documents, like Sharon's Cease and Desist letter, links, all that stuff on our podcast blog which is currently here: https://rescuereportpodcast.blogspot.com/ ...so if you are into the detail, please go check there!
Ryan interviews Sharon Logan about her successful lawsuit against Orange County Animal Control, and where OCAC is now. This is in preparation for Sharon's upcoming interview about her new, just filed, lawsuit against the San Diego Humane Society.
This interview was scheduled to be part of our weekly podcast, but we are releasing it now so you can get caught up on what Sharon Logan has done in the rescue community so far. In early July we will talk with Sharon again about her just filed lawsuit against the San Diego Humane Society. Curious about the "Wheel of Death" that Sharon refers to? Here is the video that got her kicked out of OCAC:

On our inaugural podcast we interview one of the most amazing rescuers out there, Faith Easdale. We hope to have her back on often, as Faith has so much to say, and so many amazing stories. On today's interview we discuss a dog she spent FOUR MONTHS tracking and attempting to trap, before just this month finally catching him, and bringing him to safety. We discuss rescuing dogs in dangerous neighborhoods, the best traps, and Randee even cries a little.
