Season Finale – Sit Stay Rant

For our season finale, Amy, Tiffany, Emily, and Gabby are joined by the full Knine Rescue team for a relaxed, lighthearted look back at the past year.

In this episode, we laugh a lot, reminisce, and reflect on the highs, lows, chaos, wins, and lessons that come with rescue work, from unforgettable saves to behind-the-scenes moments that only the team ever sees. While we touch on challenges and losses, the focus is on connection, humor, and how leaning on each other got us through it all.

This episode is less about perfection and more about showing up, laughing through the hard stuff, and celebrating how far we’ve come together.

🎧 Join us for a season-ending conversation full of stories, gratitude, and plenty of laughs because rescue is better when you’re not doing it alone.

This week on Sit Stay Rant, Amy, Emily, Tiffany, Gabby and Brittany are joined by our guest Sam, known online as The Great Dane Scientist and a Great Dane breeder.

After openly inviting our audience to connect us with a breeder willing to have a thoughtful, respectful conversation, Sam reached out directly. We agreed to sit down together to discuss both our differences and our shared values.

In this episode, we explore rescue and responsible breeding where perspectives diverge, where they overlap, and what each side often misunderstands about the other. Rather than debating to win, this conversation centers on listening, nuance, and mutual respect.

While we don’t agree on everything, we do share a commitment to the well-being of dogs. This episode offers space for honest dialogue and a deeper understanding of our different paths within the dog world.

In this episode of Sit Stay Rant, the team welcomes a special guest Kim from Friends of Montgomery County Animals (FMCA) to dive into the often-overlooked world of cat rescue. From managing colonies and trapping ferals to bottle-feeding kittens at 2 a.m., our guest shares the daily realities, emotional tolls, and small victories that come with saving feline lives.

Emily, Amy, Tiffany, Gabby and Kim open up the conversation about how cat rescue differs from dog rescue, the constant challenges of funding and foster space, and the community partnerships that make it all possible. It’s an honest, heartfelt discussion about compassion, burnout, and why even the smallest acts of kindness, like adopting, fostering, or donating, can make a huge difference in the lives of Montgomery County’s cats.
