    The Little Red Dog turns 15 this Sunday, and PJ Rosch and Christine Smith look back on over 8,000 dogs rescued: what it really takes to start a dog rescue, why a foster-based rescue depends on its fosters, the dogs they still think about, and what comes next, from spay and neuter clinics to advocacy.

    What To Do When You Find a Stray Dog

    Found a stray dog? PJ Rosch and Christine Smith of The Little Red Dog explain what to do first: get it scanned for a microchip, post it on lost pet sites, never just let it go, and ask for proof before handing it to anyone who claims it.

  1. Sep 25, 2026 Why Didn't You Just Take the Dog?
    Why didn't you just take the dog? PJ Rosch and Christine Smith of The Little Red Dog explain why a rescue can't simply take a dog from its owner.

Plus Good News of the Week: Chloe went from a…

They talk honestly about why rescues…
  4. Sep 4, 2026 The "1 in 6" Rule That Could End Shelter Euthanasia
    Attorney, Penn Law professor and Animal Advocate Penny Ellison joins PJ and Christine to talk about pet surrender prevention: why housing restrictions and the cost of vet care drive most surrenders, how Philadelphia passed a three-year moratorium on unlicensed dog breeding and built a subsidized spay/neuter coalition alongside it, and why veterinary telehealth could reach families living in veterinary deserts.…
  5. Aug 28, 2026 Left Behind: The K-9s Who Died on Duty
    Four police K-9s died in hot cars this summer, and PJ and Christine are not letting it slide. They walk through what happened to Chili, Georgia, Rip and Boomer, why one sheriff claimed there is no such thing as animal neglect under her state's law, and why "the equipment failed" is not an excuse when a dog is your partner. Recorded on Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day, the episode closes on better news: puppy Fawn…
  6. Aug 21, 2026 What Happens to Your Dog If Something Happens to You
    August is Make A Will Month, and PJ and Christine sit down with Spencer Cassidy, co-founder and CEO of LifeLegacy, to talk about the one document most dog owners never get around to: a will. 70% of Americans have no estate plan, and TLRD has pulled countless dogs out of shelters because their person died and nobody had a plan for them. Spencer breaks down pet guardianship, what really happens to your money (and…

    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…
  9. Aug 1, 2026 How One Photographer Gets Shelter Dogs Seen
    Volunteer photographer Christian Shenouda has spent 15 years taking the photos that get shelter dogs adopted. He joins PJ and Christine to explain why the intake photo is usually the worst picture a dog will ever have, and what actually changes their odds. He shares practical tips anyone can use on their own foster or transport, plus the advice his therapist girlfriend gave him for walking into a shelter without…
  10. Jul 25, 2026 Fireworks, Floods, and Getting Dogs Home
    A little dog named Prieta went missing over the Fourth of July and turned up two weeks later swimming in San Francisco Bay, fending off seagulls until Menlo Park firefighters scooped her out of the water.

  11. Jul 17, 2026 Why Adopted Dogs Get Returned
    PJ and Christine dig into the real reasons adopted dogs get returned: too much love too soon, unrealistic expectations, not enough exercise, no rules or routine, the wrong match, and life changes nobody planned for. They share what The Little Red Dog has learned from 15 years of rescue about setting a new dog up to succeed, and close with the story of a seven-year-old boy who sold his prized Pokemon card collection…
  12. Jul 11, 2026 Why Are Dogs Still Dying in Shelters
    In 2025, roughly 600,000 animals (including 320,000 dogs) died in America's shelters — many of them alone, scared, in their kennels. PJ and Christine of The Little Red Dog dig into why so many good, adoptable dogs get overlooked: breed mislabeling, the pit bull myths that follow certain dogs, and how the shelter environment itself can turn a happy dog into a so-called "behavior case." A hard but hopeful…
  13. Jul 3, 2026 The Miranda's Rescue Case: How Does This Happen?
    This week on For the Love of Dog, PJ and Christine share must-know Fourth of July safety tips to keep your dog from becoming part of the July 5th shelter surge — from microchips and safe spaces to keeping gates closed during the fireworks. They also dig into the disturbing Miranda's Rescue case, where dogs were found shot and buried, and ask how transfers and adoptions go unchecked. Plus an uplifting finish: Bear,…
  14. Jun 26, 2026 She Was on the Kill List — Now She's the Perfect Dog
    PJ and Christine sit down with adopter Jill Stanton, who almost never found Zahara — a dog pulled off the kill list at one of California's deadliest shelters and now, in Jill's words, “heaven on earth.” Jill shares how she discovered foster-based rescue (the middle ground between a shelter and a breeder that most people don't know exists), why staying open-minded landed her the perfect family dog, and how The…
  15. Jun 19, 2026 The No-Kill Myth
    "No-kill shelter" is one of the most comforting phrases in animal rescue — and one of the most misleading. This week PJ and Christine pull back the curtain on what really happens to surrendered dogs, why five states account for half the nation's euthanasias, and how kennel stress breaks down even healthy animals. They also dig into why so many good dogs get overlooked — seniors, black dogs, "only dogs," and dogs…
  16. Jun 12, 2026 You Don't Have to Surrender Your Dog
    The #1 request The Little Red Dog gets isn't to save a shelter dog — it's "please rehome my pet." This week PJ and Christine walk through the real alternatives to surrendering your dog: trainers and rescue support for behavior issues, Care Credit and Scratch Pay for vet bills you can't cover, pet-friendly housing searches, safe rehoming (never free on Craigslist), and how to ask for temporary help without shame.…
  17. Jun 5, 2026 My Dog Is My Home

Plus two urgent rescue appeals from The Little Red Dog. Learn more and foster at…
  18. May 30, 2026 Why Having Your Dog Off Leash Is a Bad Idea
    It's National Microchip Month — and PJ and Christine are here to remind you to not just chip your pet, but actually register it and keep your info updated. Then they get into it: off-leash dogs, summer safety tips, and why your dog doesn't have to like everybody (and neither do you). A packed episode full of practical advice for dog owners heading into the warmer months. Support the show Donate, adopt, or foster at…

  21. May 8, 2026 Why We Hate Dog Parks (And You Should Too)
    PJ and Christine get real about where your rescue donation actually goes — and why $1,100 barely covers saving one dog anymore. Then they get on their soapbox about dog parks: inattentive owners, parasites like giardia and coccidia, and why a pit bull in a scuffle always loses even when it didn't start it. Charlotte is still urgently looking for a foster — and fostering is always completely free. Support the show…

  23. Apr 24, 2026 What Really Happens When a Dog Leaves the Shelter
