Are they really?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (00:04):
So there's so many animals out there that need homes,
So rescues are overflowing with the animals. We have about
two hundred in our system right now, do you really yes.
So we're a foster based rescue, so we don't have
any animals at the rescue. They're all living in homes.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Yeah, you have suckers like me, yes, of course you do.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
You have a home, so I have Oh.
Speaker 1 (00:25):

Speaker 3 (00:28):
I have Kevin. Kevin's with me, the cat.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Oh, everybody, I said, his name's Kevin. Everybody's calling the
cat Kevin. I told Scott, I think we might be
adopting Kevin.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
But Kevin's not available to adopt till the end of
the month, which is perfect.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
No, because Diane was like, oh, well, I'm going to
be gone this weekend, but we'll stay right at Jaqueline stuff.
And by the way, you know, it's getting great tradement now, Yeah,
she owns the place.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
He loves a perch on his shoulder.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
For you. So wait, so there's a so it is
a a what'd you call it?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
A foster foster based rescue.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Right, is that not normal? Or is that normal? No?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
So it's a difference from a shelter. So shelters the
animals are living at the facility. Right, foster based meaning
we have no animals on site unless they need medical
attention or sometimes we have feral cats that are co
founder Jesse works with, right, and then we give them
into foster homes.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
I gotcha, I got you, but they don't stay like
because when I came to get clancy, like, it's over
by Tyson's right. Correct, So when I when I got
over there, like, they come in and then I don't
know what.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
You guys do it?
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Yeah, So there's a transport that we bring them in
from Mississippi two to three times a week, or sorry,
two or three times a month. We have one coming
on Saturday. We still need foster's for so people sign
up for a three week foster period. When they arrive,
they get their first round of vaccines, flee in tich medicine, microchip,
de wormer, they get checked out by our veterinarian, right,
(01:55):
and then off they go to their fosters for three
weeks before they get adopted.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
Right, I'll tell you like when we did Rollo, I think, well,
I failed horribly. I wasn't even out of your goddamn
parking lot and I was sitting in the back of
the car crying.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
The I.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
No, no. But you know what, Like when we.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Did Rollo, I thought it would be really really hard
to do the to foster because you get them and
you're attached to them and me, I love dogs and
so you're attached to it immediately. But when we met
the family in Baltimore, Jackie, why are you coming in?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
She's bringing Kevin?
Speaker 4 (02:33):
No.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
No. But when we met the when we met the
family in Baltimore who ended up with Rollo, I got it.
Like at that point you're like, you know what, Like
it sucks because you want to keep them, but I
can't have I can't have three dogs. The But when
you find like the home that it's going to go to,
and because you have to meet with them, and you
feel like, oh, right, you know what, I found you
a good place, it is pretty fulfilling. I mean it's
(02:56):
still a little heartbreaking, but it is pretty fulfilling.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
The first couple of times when you foster, it's heartbreaking
because you do get attached. But the more that I
keep and adopt the less I can help save.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
So, oh, you know, that's a good way to look
at it. That's a good way to look at it.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
So if I adopt two dogs, can I manage a third?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I don't manage my.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Wife Jackie can She's great?
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Hey, what is the and do you find like when
when like when you foster one and maybe this is
where I messed up?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Do you just say, yeah, come sleep in the bed? Okay,
so you guys do give us crates?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
We do.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
So he provides you with a starter kit of supplies
and if you need to borrow a wire crate, we
have some that we can give out. So for me,
I don't when I leave my house, I don't want
the animal running free, right because they're gonna they're puppies, yes,
the puppies. So they're going to chew on my furniture.
So I create train, right, But we don't require our
fosters to do that if they want the puppy to
sleep in bed with them. Okay, I did it one
(03:57):
time and the puppy pete in my bed, So that's.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
All right in actually, but Jackie, same thing.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
The Also, what is the thing I'm trying to remember,
and I may have this wrong. There's a friend of our, Zoe,
who we ran into at the Chesney concert when Kenny
Chesney was here. Oh yes, and she was like, oh, anyway,
we were talking to her and I was like, I
didn't even know you were coming, but you guys brought
dogs to the Kenny Chesney show to do puppy therapy
(04:25):
with Kenny Chesney.
Speaker 2 (04:27):

Speaker 3 (04:35):
We do artists experiences, so the venues in the area
will give a donation to wolf Trap Animal Rescue for
us to provide puppies or kittens backstage right for the
artists because it's therapeutic. A lot of the artists will
come in and say, oh my gosh, my blood pressure
just went down. Oh really, Oh yes, So we just
did Mitski Merriweather and she was so excited.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
They were great.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
They were great, they were loving on the puppy and
it's just a great experience for the crew because it's hard.
It's hard work backstage. You know, they're they're working really hard.
They're on the road constantly. It's just something nice. They
missed their animals.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
Sure, well, I was gonna say like Chesney's people were
like Kenny loved it, Oh loved it, Like he was
down on the floor playing with all of them, like
he was having a great time.

Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
