Join us as we walk into the shoes of Connor Long from Marley's Mutts Dog Rescue, an individual whose passion for animals is as infectious as it is inspiring. His journey from volunteering at an animal shelter to his current role in rescue work opens up an honest conversation about the challenging realities of shelters, and how these experiences have honed his dedication to animal rescue.

As Connor shares his personal voyage towards responsible dog ownership, we delve into the importance of understanding the unique needs of different breeds and the commitment required to help a new pet adjust to its surroundings. Listen in awe as Connor narrates the heartwarming story of the dog abandoned at his doorstep and the extra mile he went to ensure its well-being. Prepare to be enlightened on how his degree in animal health and behavior enhances his understanding and approach towards these noble beings.

Finally, we shift gears to discuss the influential role of social media in animal advocacy. Discover how Marley's Mutts has harnessed this tool in making a significant impact, and how each one of us can contribute towards alleviating the burden of overcrowded shelters, whether through adoption, fostering, or simply spreading awareness. Remember, every small effort counts. So, tune in, subscribe, and follow us on Instagram for more insightful discussions like these. Together, let's create a better world for our furry friends.

Marley’s Mutts Dog Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to saving the lives of Kern County’s shelter animals. Marley’s Mutts programs include Pawsitive Change, Miracle Mutts and Mutt Movers. Marley’s mission is making a pawsitive and lasting impact on communities by rehabilitating souls and creating second chances using the power of the human/animal bond. With shelters overcrowded, euthanasia is often the only solution the county has to control the population. Lost and abandoned dogs need all of us to save them from death.
