Michael Hill visits OC Pom Rescue in Orange County, California, to meet founder Jasmine and learn how the organization provides Pomeranians with foster homes, veterinary care, and lifelong support. Then, Amber sits down with Aimee Gilbreath, President of PetSmart Charities, to discuss the organization's nationwide adoption efforts, expanding access to veterinary care, and why helping pets stay with the families who love them is an important part of animal welfare. We also meet Lashonda Jaffard, founder of the Black Pet Business Network, to learn how the organization is helping pet-focused nonprofit founders strengthen their programs and create lasting impact in their communities. Plus, Dr. Ross Henderson shares advice for a newly adopted dog's first 72 hours, Dr. Courtney Campbell discusses common behavioral challenges, and we meet more incredible dogs waiting for homes.
