3.1 — Spay Aborts: The No-Brainer No-Kill Can't Handle

Season Three, LFG! In episode 1, hosts Jenny Nordin and Ashlyn Kauh dive straight into a hot-button topic: spay aborts. Why so controversial? In today’s rescue climate, it should be a no-brainer. But with big names like No-Kill Austin Pets Alive pushing a twisted, delusional narrative (and dirty-deleting their infamous video when the internet clapped back), someone’s gotta say it: we’re not sipping that Kool-Aid!Before we go full soapbox, though, in Not Your 9 to 5, we talk Strep Zoo (yep, add it to the ever-growing rescue worry list) and our 3 a.m. VEG adventure that, thankfully, had a happy ending.And yes—the Crazy Folder is back. This one’s a doozy: Ashlyn unleashes her best “howler” to deliver Tammy’s unhinged message to volunteer Juliana. Spoiler: Tammy wanted a manager. Ashlyn was more than happy to oblige. Go home, Tammy—you’re drunk. (Or just a batty bitch.)POD MENTIONS:International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP)Ivan Balabanov [Training without Conflict]Jay Jack [Next Level Dogs]Dr. Melanie Uhde [Canine Decoded]Renegade Paws RescueSUPERZOOStreptococcus zooepidemicus: an emerging canine pathogen [PubMed]Strep zoo outbreak (July 4, 2025) [Stanislaus Animal Services Facebook]Response to Austin Pets Alive video (dirty delete) [Love and Puppy Paws Dog Rescue Facebook]Commercial Breeder and Pet Store Laws by State [Bailing Out Benji]PARNTER MENTIONS:K9 Kennel BossAll the Best Pet CareDouble Down Dog TrainingVeterinary Emergency Group (VEG)Nirvana K9 TrainingStanislaus Animal ServicesThe Good Dog WayCrossroads VetADOPTABLE DOG MENTIONS: SprinkleSundaeEugeneLunchSnackAsk us anything via Email to soyouwanttorunadogrescue@gmail.comFollow us on social media at @dgs.podcastDon't forget to Like, Share, Comment and Subscribe!Chapters00:00 3.1 Spay Abort03:46 IACP key takeaways08:00 Really exciting announcement (podcast guest)09:36 Superzoo slip lead search13:54 Household updates, kids and dogs21:50 Dogs and kids (stress inoculation)23:21 Not Your 9 to 5: Stre
