In this episode, David sits down with Julie Frank and Vicki Johnson-Cain of Take Paws Rescue to discuss the growing challenges- and inspiring successes- of animal rescue work in Louisiana. They share what it takes to save, foster, and rehome hundreds of dogs each year while managing the emotional and financial demands of running a nonprofit.
