 Welcome to The Rescue State Podcast—a powerful and compassionate space where we champion the voiceless. I am your host and animal advocate Kim Moodey, this weekly show dives deep into the realities of California’s shelter system and what it will take to become a true No Kill state.

Through compelling interviews with rescue leaders, shelter workers, and animal rights activists, along with my own personal stories from the front lines, each episode sheds light on the urgent issues facing vulnerable animals. From success stories to systemic challenges, we explore how supporting high-kill shelters can lead to lasting change.

Whether you're a rescue volunteer, a passionate animal lover, or just curious about how to make a difference—The Rescue State Podcast is your source for inspiration, education, and action. Together, we can turn compassion into a movement and California into a No Kill state.The Rescue State Economie Management Management et direction

  • A Final Note for Season 3: Where Change Begins

    A Final Note for Season 3: Where Change Begins
    Apr 21 2026
    What does it actually take to create a no-kill future in California?

    In this powerful Season 3 finale of The Rescue State, we move beyond awareness and into action. After exploring how shelters operate, what good standards look like and how to recognize when those standards begin to slip, this episode brings it all together with one simple truth: real change starts with people who are willing to speak up.

    This episode reminds us that every life matters and that the difference between life and death is often whether someone chooses to care enough to act. You’ll also walk away with simple, tangible ways to advocate for your local shelter from contacting your county supervisors to asking the right questions and becoming a steady voice for change in your community.

    This isn’t about being perfect.
    It’s about being present.

    Because a no-kill future doesn’t happen all at once…
    It happens one voice, one action and one life at a time.

  • Inside a Rescue Transport: The Journey You Never See

    Inside a Rescue Transport: The Journey You Never See
    Apr 14 2026
    What is it really like to be on a rescue transport?

    In this special episode of The Rescue State, I take you behind the scenes on a journey I’ll never forget—traveling up the Pacific Northwest on the Promise 4 Paws rescue bus to meet our Canadian rescue partners in Bellingham, Washington.

    This isn’t just a road trip—it’s a mission. From long hours on the road to the quiet, emotional moments in between, I’m sharing rare, firsthand insight into what it takes to move dogs to safety. What it feels like to be part of something bigger. And the incredible coordination, care and heart that goes into every mile of the journey straight up north and right back down again.

    If you’ve ever wondered how these life-saving transports actually work… this episode is for you.

    And if this story moves you, there’s a way to be part of it. Promise 4 Paws relies on community support to continue these critical rescue efforts. If you feel called, you can donate here to help fund future transports and give more dogs & cats a second chance at life.

  • [Revisit] Interview with Kevin & Sue Walshe with Promise 4 Paws

    [Revisit] Interview with Kevin & Sue Walshe with Promise 4 Paws
    Apr 8 2026
    Some conversations are worth coming back to and this is one of them. In this special replay episode of The Rescue State, I’m revisiting my conversation with Kevin and Sue Walshe two deeply committed voices in the rescue community who are doing the hard, often unseen work behind the scenes.

    As we move through Season 3 and take a closer look at how shelter systems function, where they fall short and how change actually happens, this conversation hits differently. Kevin and Sue share real, unfiltered insight into the complexities of rescue from navigating overcrowded shelters to the emotional weight of making life-or-death decisions.

    This episode is a reminder that rescue is not black and white. It’s layered, human, and at times, incredibly challenging but it’s also where compassion, persistence and community come together to create real impact. If you’re trying to understand what it truly takes to be part of the solution… this is an episode you don’t want to miss (or miss again)!
