In this episode of Rescue Tails, Robert and Robin tackle one of the hardest challenges in dog rescue: building buy-in with volunteers, staff, trainers, and kennel teams.
After collecting intake, medical, and training data, rescues still face a critical question. How do you get people to consistently follow systems, protocols, and best practices? This episode explores leadership, trust, communication, and culture inside volunteer-driven rescue organizations.
Robert and Robin discuss mindset, shared purpose, explaining the “why” behind policies, navigating pushback, cultural differences, and how leadership behavior shapes rescue culture. Using real examples from Rebel Rescue in South Korea, this conversation offers practical insight for rescue leaders trying to align people, systems, and outcomes.
