Donation - (at 07:27 - 08:15) - With each episode, in honor of our guests, the Who Rescued Whom? Canine Rescue Tales Podcast makes a $25 donation to the rescue of their choice. We are happy to make this episode’s donation to Mountain Pet Rescue in Grand County, Colorado. Mountain Pet Rescue is how Rudder’s story with Suzan and Mike began. Mountain Pet Rescue is a foster-based rescue that focuses on rescuing active, energetic “mountain” dogs by working with overcrowded shelters in and outside of Colorado. Their Board of Directors strives to match each dog with its perfect home by assessing its temperament, evaluating the potential foster and adoption homes, and following up with the pet owner to ensure a healthy and enjoyable relationship. It’s been just over four years since Suzan lost Mike, and she still walks with Rudder, every day! And recently, she added another furry friend to her home, Baeta, a Labrador, springer/pointer mix that she also adopted from Mountain Pet Rescue. You see pictures of Mike, Suzan, Rudder, and Baeta, by going to the episode page on our website WhoRescuedWhom.com.
