About this listen

 Imagine a place where old, sick, abused, abandoned, & unwanted dogs all come together, to rest, live, play, and snuggle - looking for their future furever family. For some experiencing love for the first & last time. We hope to spread awareness of Always & Furever's mission of waking up into a world where every animal, despite age, breed, or health is treated with kindness, dignity, respect and most importantly has been touched with love, even if only for a moment. It's never too late for happily ever after.© 2026 The Doggone Truth About Rescue - Always & Furever Economics Management Management & Leadership

Intake coordinator Kelly and transport coordinator Craig share how they’ve helped move more than 4,400 dogs to safety, organized 900+ transports in just the past year, and built a network of nearly 600 dedicated drivers. From cross-country rescue missions and emotional saves of mothers and puppies to the realities of shelter transformation, burnout, and hope, this conversation highlights the compassion, collaboration, and resilience behind every rescue journey.
