In 2.21 hosts Jenny Nordin and Ashlyn Kauh dive into the adventures of running the largest foster-based rescue in the Pacific Northwest. In Not Your 9 to 5, they share their Memorial Day weekend forays including an intake of four semi-feral shepherds, and trading fosters. The spotlight is on adorable Great Pyrenees puppies as Jenny falls head over heels in one named Shadowfax, sparking in-depth discussions on the breed's traits and training challenges. On this Shit List, meet a foster who can't follow the rules and goes to Yelp to air her grievances. Finally, Ashlyn spills the tea on how to manage dog-cat introductions in Questions.
