For anyone who thinks rescue work is only about pulling dogs from shelters, Kimmi Rasky, Founder of Rescue Revival reveals why prevention and retention are the missing pieces solving animal welfare's burnout crisis. We explore how advocacy campaigns fund everything from disease-prevention equipment to training programs that keep dogs in forever homes, discover why spay-neuter access for companion animals stops the stray crisis at its source, and learn how volunteering transformed one woman's understanding of animal emotional intelligence.
