🐾 The rescue world can be as heartbreaking as it is rewarding.


This week on Straight Up Dog Talk, Em sits down with Bridget from Wild Wolfe Pack Treats to talk about the raw truths behind rescue work—overpopulation, tough decisions, and the emotional cost of caring deeply.


✨ In this episode, we explore:

  • What no one tells you about animal rescue

  • Why compassion fatigue is real and valid

  • How Bridget prioritizes self-care in a world that never stops needing help

  • Tips for protecting your heart while staying committed to the cause

Whether you're a rescue volunteer, foster, advocate, or supporter—this conversation is your reminder that you matter too.
