It was great to catch up with Pack Ethic’s Eric Bellows in today’s episode of Bark Radio. Hear about what’s been happening at the sanctuary this last year, important legislation that we all need to support, and a great event that’s happening at Pack Ethic tomorrow, Saturday,  July 28. If you can’t make it to the sanctuary, check out their great videos on YouTube, visit their website and follow them on Facebook. If you aren’t supporting a rescue, make it this one. Eric and company do amazing work with abused dogs!

Dog rescue groups are in the business of saving, re-homing, and sometimes even re-jobbing dogs, right? Well, not always. Too often there seems to be a disconnect among individuals within the rescue world. Misinformation abounds. Hear Terry’s personal experience relating to a Kim, a service dog in need of a new home. That’s Kim in the photo below. More about her journey in a future episode of Bark Radio.

Jon Dunn from Best Friends is back and better than ever. Listen up, those of you in the world of rescue. Jon has ways to use that giant marketing tool – SOCIAL MEDIA – to your shelter’s benefit. Is yours a really, really small shelter? No matter. Much of what Jon shares in today’s episode is just the right price: FREE!! And while hanging out at Bark Radio, don’t forget to subscribe to our podcasts on iTunes.

You know Marley, the infamous destructo dog from Marley and Me. But have you met Toby? He has become a 4-legged icon because of Mom, Charmaine’s book, On Toby’s Terms. Who is Toby? He’s a big lug of a Chesapeake Bay Retriever. He’s a rescue. He was a holy terror. He is now a therapy dog and although Canadian, has an international following. What is it like to live with Toby? How has he changed lives, including his own family’s? Learn all about it in today’s Bark Radio interview with Charmaine Hammond.

Terry and Dee caught up with Larry Levin recently to talk about Oogy – the dog and the book. Levin updates Bark Radio listeners about life with Oogy nine years after he was adopted. It’s a bit quieter now. Twins Dan and Noah have gone off to college. But it a very good life with a truly remarkable dog.

Carianne Burnley joined Terry and Dee recently to talk about her new board game, Fur-Ever Home – The Animal Rescue Game. It’s fun, it’s educational, and it’s a great gift for the animals lovers in your life. Visit Straytown today!

Terry attended Best Friends’ No More Homeless Pets Conference recently and shares the highlights in this episode of Bark Radio. And will central Virginia soon have its own version of Best Friends Animal Society? Indeed it will. Terry is working tirelessly toward his goal of creating Many Paths Rescue and Rehabilitation. Bravo, Terry!

A year ago we met Mike and Goldie from Mikes Dog House, I thought it would be fun to revisit that interview ~ Terry – Mike’s Dog House began when an abandoned dog was rescued while Mike was running a hot dog stand. From that point forward Mike turned Mike’s Dog House into a bully breed rescue and has not looked back. Mike has personally handled every rescue that has came through the dog house and interviewed every potential adopter to ensure adoption compatibility. Since beginning over five years ago, Mike’s Dog House has successfully adopted out hundreds of dogs.

Eric Bellows absolutely rocks! Don’t miss our conversation with Eric about Joe Thunder, the amazing Rottweiler who lost his owner and K9 sister in a home invasion and nearly lost his own life after being shot four times. This is an amazing story of the true nature of a dog. If you are interested in adopting Joe Thunder (yup, he’s ready for a forever home) or another of Eric’s dogs, apply online at Pack Ethic Rescue or Rescue Ink. And check out video of Eric’s Pack Ethic Rescue, the amazing sanctuary he and wife, Keri, run in upstate New York. Thanks, Eric!!
