Show notes

I remember hearing about cremation by water a few years ago and dismissing the idea. After talking to Founder Phillip Flores Jr, I am not sure I will ever do a fire cremation.

Unmuzzled: A Pawdcast with Smithic Air, Drone Pilot for Lost Dog Recovery Feb 14, 2025

Show notes

A few weeks ago, my jaw dropped as a drone operator zeroed in on a lost dog. The drone targeted an area where no one could get to during the search. It was incredible! I reached out to Mike Smith of Smithic Air and he agreed to come chat with me about the work he does with lost pets and beyond. As technology advances, so does the way we are able to search for lost animals and humans. An INCREDIBLE podcast with so much great knowledge.

Unmuzzled: A Pawdcast with Kristina from Ruff Haven Crisis Sheltering Jan 31, 2025

Show notes

One of the questions that I get asked the most is, "do you now somewhere that will take a pet for a few weeks while the owner gets back on their feet?" Ruff Haven Crisis Sheltering in Utah does JUST that. With times really tough, especially the last few years, this organization has changed so many lives. Pets belong with their owner. Kristina is a wonderful guest! For more: https://www.ruffhaven.org/

Unmuzzled: A Pawdcast with Pete and Cailen from SEED on Livestock Auctions Jan 17, 2025

Show notes

"The less human interaction with the animals, the more neglect. The more human interaction, the more violence. At livestock auctions there is constant interaction, so there is constant violence." Pete and Cailen, from SEED (Strategies for Ethical and Environmental Development) give us the latest on livestock auction investigations and it is SHOCKING and appalling.

Unmuzzled: A Pawdcast with Pete on Puppy Mills Jan 03, 2025

Show notes

"They will have puppies in the back and wiping the snot off their nose and get them out the door." The best way to get to the puppy mill and puppy store problem is to SEE what is going on that is hidden behind closed doors. It is atrocious and inhumane. Thanks to investigators like Pete, slowly but surely, puppy mills are running into more and more laws and crackdowns that impede the work that they do. But they need our help. Knowledge is power. Pete has SO much knowledge because he has seen so much--he has been to over 1000 puppy mills! This is a must-watch/must-listen.

Unmuzzled: A Pawdcast with Author Alicia Boemi, the Founder of The Lake Dog Nov 22, 2024

Show notes

I met Alicia many years ago and we did a lot of cool work in the rescue community, including a calendar with some big name Chicago athletes and quite the opposite --sitting in the chilly weather on a diversion shift at Chicago Animal Care and Control. Now, Alicia has moved back to her hometown where she is making an impact with a children's book, as well as a new brand called The Lake Dog. I LOVE SMALL BUSINESSES! This is a great podcast!
