About this listen
This episode dives into one of the hardest truths in animal welfare: sometimes saving a dog means ending their suffering. After seeing a TikTok about euthanasia lists, I unpack what the public gets wrong about “just try harder,” and why shelter workers and trainers often see behaviors the average adopter can’t safely handle.
Featuring the story of Badger — a feral dog who spent six months learning to trust, only to be overwhelmed by fear again — this episode breaks down the ethics, the grief, and the weight behind making the most impossible decision: choosing peace over prolonged suffering.
⚠️ Content Warning: This episode includes discussion of euthanasia, behavior-related risk, and difficult shelter experiences. Please listen with care.
If this episode moves you, consider supporting your local shelter through adoption, fostering, volunteering, or donations. It makes a difference.
