When Tosha's son was diagnosed with Autism, she began therapy to improve his motor and social skills. In the process, she discovered that involving their dog was incredibly helpful for her son and helped with his development profoundly. This inspired her to start a non profit using therapy animals with schools and working with those with special needs. She joins us in this episode to tell us what makes a therapy animal and what qualities they look for in their dogs.References: https://pawsitivefriendships.org/

Susan Luong From Queen's Best Stumpy Dog Rescue comes back onto the show to help us get a clear picture of what is really involved in fostering for rescue. We discuss some of the common challenges when it comes to limitations and advise to be mindful of everything involved. Too often, pups will come back if the new home is not properly suited due to the new pet home not being as prepared as they thought. Susan gives us some perspective on how to prepare, what to expect, and advises to be mindful of what one will be taking on when agreeing to offer much needed help. @queensbeststumpydogrescue6672 References: https://www.queensbeststumpydogrescue.org/#corgi #rescue #rescuedog #shelterdog
