Volunteer Caroll Schwartz joins PJ and Christine to talk about what it really takes to walk rescue dogs: the 100-pound pit mix named Rhino who dragged her across a lawn on her fifth outing, why The Little Red Dog runs a walking clinic before anyone takes a leash, and the honest difference between a martingale and a prong collar. She also tells the story of the Halloween foster fail that turned into four years of running the walking schedule, and makes the case that one hour a week is enough to change a dog's life. Plus a happy story: Rufus waited nearly two years in an Ohio rescue before the Liberty Fire Department adopted him into Station 35, Charlotte is still looking for a foster or an adopter, and TLRD's new off-leash training program is now on Patreon.
