2.6: Behavioral Euthanasia - Buttercup's Story and the Inside Scoop on 10 Difficult Decisions

So You Want to Run a Dog Rescue

In a long and heavy episode 2.6, hosts Jenny and Ashlyn spill the tea on the taboo topic of behavioral euthanasia (BE). They share the heartbreaking decision to euthanize Buttercup and provide a transparent and inside look at the BE decisions for ten dogs since 2017. They divulge the recent and tragic loss of an adult dog Bobby from the San Bernardino city shelter due to a Parvo outbreak, and in Not Your 9 to 5, navigate senior dog care with an adopter. Finally, in the 'Crazy Folder,' they present a shocking incident involving a volunteer's dog, a neighbor's toddler and a fence.
