People love their pets. Whether it’s a dog, cat, rabbit, hamster, bird, rat, or any other domesticated companion, our pets become beloved members of our family. Steadfast companions. Protectors. Entertainers. A glance through Instagram or TikTok provides ample evidence of our collective love for our animal friends.

There is another side to this happy picture, though. Sometimes life becomes tragic for domesticated animals. Whether it’s a situation of animal hoarding, puppy mills, dogfighting, natural disasters, cruelty, or basic neglect, the number of companion animals living in deplorable and deadly situations is staggering. Too many communities have few or no resources to help. Suffering can continue for generations.

Enter Animal Rescue Corps, an army of angels who arrive in massive numbers: veterinarians, handler, scribes, photographers, and other helpers who quite literally save the day for these suffering animals. This team of volunteers, sometimes numbering in the hundreds, document conditions, retrieve every single animal, clean them, medically treat them, rehabilitate them, and find them loving homes. They are unsung heroes.

Through humor, storytelling, and thoughtful reflection, Tim and Michael take listeners through the entire process of rescuing animals, starting with the phone call they receive from law enforcement regarding an appalling animal welfare situation, all the way through appearing in court to present the evidence they meticulously collect.
