In this episode of the Always and Furever Podcast, Sheila and Sy welcome Aspin, manager of the new Always and Furever Dog Sanctuary in Wichita, KS. Aspin shares her background working with dogs, her passion for senior dog rescue, and the journey of opening a brand-new shelter location.

She gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at managing a senior dog shelter, the unexpected addition of puppies, and the challenges—and rewards—of helping dogs find their furever homes. The episode wraps up with ways to support the shelter and a special spotlight on Lilly, the podcast’s featured cover dog.
