Episode 8: The Challenges San Antonio Pet Rescues Face Daily

The focus of this interview is to discuss the ongoing challenges pet rescue organizations face as they work to respond to the growing influx of dogs and cats entering local shelters. We speak with God’s Dogs Rescue CEO Julianne Marchbanks and COO Debbie Davis about the daily realities of rescue work, the strain overcapacity places on shelters and rescue teams, and the difficult decisions organizations are forced to make when resources are stretched thin. The conversation also highlights the critical role the community plays in supporting these efforts through fostering, adopting, volunteering, and donations, and why that support is essential to helping more animals find safe and permanent homes.
