• Pandemic Pup Panic
    2022/08/24

    We don't know about you, but when those "return to the office" emails started coming, our first thought was PANIC! How would we leave our pups at home again? After years at home with your pup almost every day, it can be scary for you (and your pup) to go back to the office. 

    This week on Going Mutts, hosts Sarah and Erin talk about their own experiences returning to the office and give you tips for handling the shift yourself.

    The takeaway? DON'T PANIC! We got this.

  • Dogs of the American Revolution
    2022/07/12

    "Once I can be convinced that men are as worth objects as dogs, I shall transfer my benevolence." - General Charles Lee

    Dogs played a significant role in Colonial America and during the American Revolution. In honor of the July 4th holiday, Sarah and Erin welcome Erin's husband, Evan, to the podcast to discuss the dogs of the American Revolution and the way society viewed dogs in the 1770s.

    While TLBD rescues dogs of all sizes, shapes, colors and breeds, as part of our mission, we recognize that ​black dogs are traditionally passed over for adoption in favor of light coated dogs. We love a black dog and want to do as much as we can to support these pups and raise awareness of “Black Dog Syndrome.” Tune in to learn more about the barriers black dogs face, and learn more about the many adoptable black dogs of TLBD!
