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.

In this episode of Sit Stay Rant, the crew goes live on Amy Creel’s TikTok for a raw, funny, and heartfelt look at rescue life in real time. Amy, Emily, Tiffany, and Gabby talk about the six semi-feral Chihuahuas coming into Knine Rescue from a severe hoarding case, what their intake will look like, how to start earning their trust, and the slow, patient work that turns fear into hope.

They also answer questions from viewers during the livestream, everything from the adoption and application process to fostering tips, medical holds, and what really goes on behind the scenes when a rescue takes in dogs with trauma.

And because no Sit Stay Rant episode is complete without some laughter, the team rounds things out with a rescue-themed game of “What Would You Rather?” that spirals into chaos and comedy in the best possible way.

It’s honest, unscripted, and full of heart, the kind of episode that shows exactly what rescue looks like when you’re living it every day.

This week on Sit Stay Rant, Amy, Emily, and Tiffany talk honestly with special guest Milly about what life inside animal rescue really looks like. From inter-rescue drama and public criticism to hoarding cases and legal tangles, the team opens up about the chaos that rarely makes it to social media.

Milly brings years of experience from the Humane Society, SPCA, and vet clinics, sharing firsthand stories of burnout, cat bites, and the delicate balance between compassion and safety. Together they tackle the myths around “bad” breeds, especially pit bulls, the emotional toll of shelter work, and the small victories that make it all worth it.

Raw, heartfelt, and eye-opening, this conversation reminds listeners why rescue work matters and how understanding canine behavior can transform not only dogs but the people who love them.

Welcome back to Sit Stay Rant, where we unleash the real mess behind rescue! Amy, Tiffany, Emily, and Brittany are back at the mics, joined by the ever-adorable Mama Dumpling, (who provides few snores in the background) as the team tackles another week of rescue madness.

This week’s episode centers on Beethoven, a nine-week-old puppy whose adoption quickly turned into a cautionary tale. The adopter seemed wonderful, until the payment disappeared. The team walks listeners through how the adopter paid the adoption fee, only to dispute the charge days later. What followed were endless excuses: a “stolen” card, promises to write a check, missed deadlines, and weeks of avoidance. Amy, Emily, Tiffany, and Brittany share every twist with humor and disbelief, offering an inside look at what really happens when good intentions meet bad behavior.

Amy also recalls a wild story from years ago, when another adopter refused to pay the fee and she went full investigator mode, even contacting the man’s mother. What happened next? You’ll have to listen—but it’s shocking.

The crew doesn’t stop there. Amy brings up a recent encounter with a potential adopter who became rude after being told the rescue couldn’t “hold” a dog for several weeks until it fit their schedule. That sparks a deeper conversation about finding balance in the adoption process—how rescues walk a fine line between being too rigid with rules and too flexible in trying to make placements work.

Through it all, the team reflects on how dogs aren’t just passing through our lives, they become part of our timeline, marking chapters of love, lessons, and growth that shape who we are. Between laughter, exasperation, and Mama Dumpling’s steady presence, the crew reminds listeners why, despite the chaos, they keep doing this work: because every dog saved changes more than one life.

Grab your coffee and tune in for another unfiltered, hilarious, and heartfelt look at life in rescue.
