Shelter Lies: The Truth About Dog Trafficking isn't your feel-good rescue story. This episode exposes the dark, disturbing underbelly of the so-called "rescue" world — where dogs are flipped for profit, shelters operate like puppy mill pipelines, and the USDA turns a blind eye (or even plays a role). We're pulling back the curtain on the industry that's supposed to save dogs… and showing how it's exploiting them instead. If you think "adopt don't shop" is the moral high ground, buckle up. This truth is going to piss you off... and that's exactly the point.

Lisa and Lorina along with their guest Joy Eriksen break this all down the only way they can... Real, Raw, and the bold truth!
