About this listen

In this powerful episode of The Rescue State, I sit down with Lucy Fernandez, a key force behind the ongoing reform efforts at the Riverside County Department of Animal Services. Lucy brings a rare, behind-the-scenes perspective on what’s really happening within our shelter systems through her work and life saving advocacy with Outcomes For Pets. Lucy shares her insights and expertise on breaking down the root causes of pet overpopulation and the systemic challenges shelters face today.

From capacity crises to outdated processes, she helps us understand where things are falling short and, more importantly, where real change is possible. This conversation is about solutions, not blame. Lucy shares how communities can step into their power through education, advocacy and accountability. If you’ve ever wondered how to make a meaningful impact beyond adoption or fostering, this episode is your roadmap. Check out the resources below mentioned in this episode:
