From Fear to Freedom: The Freddie B Rescue Story
In this heartwarming and powerful episode, Michael sits down with Freddie B, a retired professional turned full-time dog rescuer with over 50 years of experience working with dogs—especially those who are fearful, aggressive, or feral. Freddie shares how he turned his retirement into a mission-driven life, founding Freddie B’s Furry Friends Rescue to help the dogs most others avoid.
Freddie opens up about:
- Why fearful and aggressive dogs are often the last to be adopted—and how he helps them heal
- The emotional and behavioral transformation of dogs like Tigger and Piglet
- The role of patience, body language, and energy in building trust with traumatized dogs
- The difference between shelter-based and foster-based rescue models
- Why understanding canine communication is essential for avoiding bites and creating lasting bonds
- How compassion fatigue affects rescue workers—and how he overcomes it by focusing on the joy of transformation
This episode is packed with wisdom, emotion, and practical insight. Freddie reminds us that every dog, no matter how broken or scared, deserves a second chance—and with the right support, they can thrive.
