S4 EP77: 300 Dogs, One Chance: San Felipe Dog Rescue Steps In

Voices for the Voiceless: The Ensenada Dog Rescue Crisis(*Heads up Amigos: Yeah, we know the phone audio is a little rough this time. Blame it on wi-fi connections, spotty service, barking dogs, or Mercury in retrograde. ;-) Either way, we cleaned it up the best we could and the convo is just too good to miss! Thanks for sticking with us!)This podcast episode of "Turn Left at the Cactus" features an interview with Carol Dougherty from the San Felipe Dog Rescue, focusing on a severe dog hoarding situation in Ensenada, Mexico. Dougherty details the discovery of 300 neglected dogs in unsanitary conditions, a recurrence of a 2023 incident involving 400 dogs at the same location. She discusses the challenges of rescuing and rehabilitating these sick animals, the urgent need for donations to cover medical expenses and supplies like bleach and pools, and the efforts of her overwhelmed staff and other organizations. The episode underscores the broader issue of street dogs in Mexico and calls for community support through volunteering, fostering, and donations to aid in the ongoing rescue efforts.Information about the San Felipe Dog Rescue:The SFDR is funded entirely by public donations.
