While many countries support animal rescue and welfare efforts, not all countries share the same values. To minimize risks to the rescue, I needed to pull the original episode and edit out some portions of my conversation with Debbie. Please consider donating at the links below or sharing their posts to help support the animals and rescuers. This week I talk with Debbie Spencer from Desperate Dogs of Azerbaijan. We discuss how the rescue started, what the animal climate is like in Azerbaijan, and their plans for growth. It costs approximately $14,000 USD monthly to house and care for the animals that end up as strays in the area. Any rescue knows that, especially in the beginning, funding is the hardest to come by.
