About this listen

Volunteering with a dog rescue sounds simple, but the reality is far more complex. In this episode of Rescue Tails, Robert Forto and Robin Lucas break down what volunteering really looks like behind the scenes, from daily shelter operations to long-term commitment, emotional challenges, and the skills rescues actually need.

They discuss what makes a great volunteer, common misconceptions about rescue work, why retention is so difficult, and how people can meaningfully support animal rescues in their own communities. The episode also features Genie, a three-year-old Shiba Inu currently looking for a home.
