Why do some incredible rescue dogs get ignored while others are adopted immediately?
In this episode of Rescue Tails, Dr. Robert Forto and Robin Lucas of Rebel Rescue talk about the rescue dogs people often overlook. The older dogs. The shy dogs. The dogs with medical needs. The dogs were labeled “too calm,” “too scared,” or “too much work.”
But many of those dogs become the most loyal companions imaginable.
Robin also shares major personal news: she is moving back to South Korea full-time to continue her rescue mission on the ground with Rebel Rescue South Korea.
