Update: 2024-09-05

Description

On this episode, Jenny and Ashlyn share why dog parks are suck and you shouldn't use them. Plus, from the Crazy Folder archives, some angry nutjobs who weren't so happy about the rescue's lost dog recovery protocols, and a special individual who solicited the rescue's help to sell his Labrador puppy in SeaTac. (Spoiler Alert: The answer was no.)
