Send us a textMeet Lia Xiong-Ratley, a Family Nurse Practitioner, women's health advocate, and rescuer of the underdogs, literally.Lia has worn many hats over the years, from pediatric ICU to cardiothoracic surgery, but after becoming a family nurse practitioner, she has found her place at Planned Parenthood.If you think the only services offered through Planned Parenthood are contraception and abortion, you're not alone; Lia and I thought this too. However, the reality is that they provide essential services such as STD testing and treatment, cervical and breast cancer screenings, prenatal care, infertility services, vasectomies, and gender-affirming care, which Lia defines with remarkable clarity (trust me, it's more than you think).So, why did Lia become such a passionate advocate for the underserved? Her own experiences have shaped her. As the daughter of emigrants fleeing political persecution during the Vietnam War, Lia grew up advocating for her family as they rebuilt their lives as Americans. It's no surprise that she roots for the underdogs.And speaking of dogs, Lia runs a successful dog rescue through her Instagram, which initially started as a platform to showcase her travel adventures (you'll hear about those too). The dogs Lia fosters each have distinct personalities, and she has a special gift for bringing that out in them. She'll make you fall in love with each one (I know I have). In the five-minute snippet: Uh, yeah, you'll just have to hear this one for yourself.

You've definitely seen their photo — big round eyes, a chubby-cheeked smile, and an almost cartoonishly cute face. But did you know the name of this camera-loving marsupial? Meet the quokka, famously dubbed “The Happiest Animal in the World.” In this wildly fun episode of Fur Real, host Mark Kyle is joined by Dr. Matthew Hayward, a leading quokka expert, author of Saving Biodiversity, and professor at The University of Newcastle. Together, they dive into the fascinating world of these adorable Australian icons. From their ancient roots and unique behaviors to the viral sensation of the “quokka selfie,” Dr. Hayward shares incredible insights about these creatures — including why they have so little fear of humans, and what myths we've all gotten wrong. Whether you're a wildlife enthusiast or just in it for the cute factor, this episode delivers laughs, learning, and plenty of "aww" moments. You can hear the joy as Mark and Matt geek out over these little legends.

You've heard of the Big Bad Wolf, Call of the Wild, and countless other wolf tales… but have you ever heard of Sea Wolves? These extraordinary wolves are unlike any others on Earth. Joining us today is Dr. Chris Darimont—a professor at the University of Victoria, the Director of Science at the Raincoast Conservation Foundation, and one of the world's leading experts on Sea Wolves. He's here to share their fascinating story. These wild canines roam the remote coastline of British Columbia, living in one of the most stunning and untamed environments on the planet. But here's what makes them truly unique: over 80% of their diet comes from the ocean! They feast on fish, crabs, seals, and even barnacles, adapting to a marine lifestyle in ways no other wolf species has. And get this—they don't just wade in the water; they're incredible long-distance swimmers, sometimes covering up to 7 miles between islands! Imagine spotting a wolf slicing through the waves like an apex predator of both land and sea. If you haven't seen the award-winning documentary Takaya: Lone Wolf, put it on your must-watch list. It tells the unbelievable true story of a lone Sea Wolf who captivated the world with his journey. Scientists, conservationists, and Indigenous Nations are working together to better understand and protect these wolves. The First Nations have long believed Sea Wolves bring good fortune and prosperity—so by the time you finish this episode, maybe a little luck will come your way too!

Also, the guys give a quick rundown of the fundraiser they helped host and judge on Saturday at Hotel Northland. It was a fundraiser for Lucky 7 Dog Rescue. The event was a ton of fun, but the best story is how Maino didn't care much for the cookies he was eating. Interestingly enough, the cookie was really a dog treat. That's Maino!

Our good friend Mark Husen from Bellin Sports Medicine is in the house! This Friday morning, Mark brings some great Sports Medicine information but seems concerned about a bet Jim and John came up with early in the show. Maino says it's his "summer of biking," and he will bike 1000 miles by the 4th of July. The guys are working out some sort of bet to raise money for local charities. But we're unsure how we will "police" Maino's mileage. Then we're joined by Ashley Hoffman from Hotel Northland and Mandy Monfils from Lucky 7 Dog Rescue. A great event this weekend at the Northland called Paws for Applause. A fun fundraiser for Lucky 7 Dog Rescue. Jim and John are helping to host and judge the event.

Did you know that the most trafficked animal in the world isn't elephants, rhinos, or tigers—but the humble pangolin? These elusive, armor-clad creatures, often called "scaly anteaters," are so rare that many people have never even heard of them. And yet, they are being pushed to the brink of extinction due to illegal wildlife trade. In this eye-opening episode of Fur Real, I sit down with Dr. Matthew Shirley of the Pangolin Specialist Group, who works closely with IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) to protect these incredible mammals. We uncover jaw-dropping facts about pangolins—like how their 16-inch-long, ultra-sticky tongue helps them feast on insects, even though they don't have teeth! Plus, they are the only mammals covered in scales, which they use as a built-in defense system, rolling into an impenetrable ball when threatened. But here's the dark truth: pangolins are being hunted at alarming rates for their meat and scales, making them a prime target for black market trade. Dr. Shirley breaks down what's being done to combat this crisis—from dismantling illegal trafficking networks to implementing innovative conservation strategies that protect both pangolins and the rural communities affected by the trade. This episode is packed with mind-blowing facts, conservation efforts, and ways YOU can help save one of the world's most unique and endangered creatures.

In this heartfelt and inspiring episode of The Fur Real podcast, Shannon Walker, founder of Northwest Battle Buddies, shares the incredible impact of her organization. Since 2011, Northwest Battle Buddies has been transforming the lives of veterans suffering from PTSD by pairing them with specially trained service dogs, known as “Battle Buddies.” With an estimated 22 veterans losing their lives to suicide daily—a rate 50% higher than that of non-veterans—this work is crucial. Shannon explains the rigorous, months-long training process that both the dogs and veterans undergo to form a bond rooted in mutual support and care. Once completed, these pairs provide each other with unwavering companionship, helping veterans manage the overwhelming and life-altering effects of PTSD. While PTSD was only officially recognized in 1980, its impact on veterans remains profound and lasting. Although PTSD cannot be cured, programs like Northwest Battle Buddies offer a path to healing, providing hope and resilience to American heroes who carry these invisible wounds daily. This episode is both heart-wrenching and heartwarming, as Shannon's passion and dedication shine through every word. It's a powerful message of hope and the extraordinary connection between veterans and their “Battle Buddies.” www.furrealpodcast.com www.northwestbattlebuddies.org fb The Fur Real Podcast            fb Northwest Battle Buddies ig @thefurrealpodcast             ig @northwestbattlebuddies tik tok @thefurrealpodcast      threads @thefurrealpodcast Blue Sky The Fur Real Podcast Speical thanks to J Jig Cicero @jjigcicero for our music intro and outro..you rock!!!

In this weeks episode, we tackle some of the frustrating realities of the dog rescue world. We discuss how certain rescue groups create excessive red tape and barriers, making it incredibly difficult for well-meaning adopters to rescue a dog. This unnecessary gatekeeping can delay or prevent good people from giving a dog a loving home, and we explore why this happens and its impact on both adopters and dogs. On the flip side, we highlight the issue of loose operators who quickly “flip” dogs without the proper care or management. These operators often overlook essential safety and behavioural checks, putting both the dogs and new owners at risk. The episode brings to light these stark contrasts within the dog rescue community. However, it's not all criticism. We also take a moment to recognise and celebrate the incredible rescue workers who truly make a difference. These dedicated individuals sacrifice time, energy, and resources to save dogs, often working tirelessly and under challenging conditions. Their passion and commitment deserve our deepest respect and gratitude. Join us as we unpack the complexities of the dog rescue world, share real stories, and advocate for a more balanced, responsible approach to helping dogs in need.

We're diving into a cutting-edge treatment for pets: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). Did you know this therapy, often used by elite athletes to enhance recovery, is available for our four-legged friends too? But what exactly is HBOT, and what can it do for your pet? In simple terms, HBOT is a therapy where pets breathe in pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. This boost in oxygen saturates their red blood cells, promoting healing, reducing inflammation, and providing relief from a variety of ailments. It's similar to the chambers divers use when they resurface too quickly and experience “the bends”—only, in this case, it's for our pets' recovery and well-being. Our guest, Teri Swanson, has years of experience with HBOT for animals and guides us through its benefits, explaining how it helps pets recover from injuries, surgeries, and even chronic conditions. If you've ever wondered about ways to enhance your pet's health, you won't want to miss this enlightening episode! www.furrealpodcast.com            www.animalhyperbaricstx.com fb The Fur Real Podcast         fb All Creatures Hyperbaric Care ig @thefurrealpodcast      @markakyle tik tok @thefurrealpodcast Speical thanks to J Jig Cicero @jjigcicero for our music intro and outro..you rock!!!

The program is funded by the National Institute of Health and works with puppies from Canine Companions, the largest service dog provider in the United States.

Together they co-wrote a new book, called Puppy Kindergarten, where they take the valuable lessons learned from their years of research studying service dogs as the ideal model for how dogs live with us in today's culture.

PART TWO - One of the most hot-button discussions in Turkey is how street dogs impact everyday citizens. Most people in cities like Istanbul are used to it, with a long tradition of living alongside them. However, in peripheral areas, there is not always as much support. When government municipalities started to push strays from city centers to outside suburban and rural areas, out of their natural environment, there have been a relatively small number of attacks and accidents. These have reportedly been sensationalized in the media, making it seem like a bigger phenomenon, and said to be weaponized by the government to instill fear. With the Turkish parliament passing the so-called ‘massacre law' in July 2024, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's government positioned it as a way to protect civilians from these stray dogs. However, in reality, this will be used as a way to significantly harm many strays. Animal rights activists have tried to present alternate solutions or volunteer their time and services, but so far the government has closed the door on that dialogue.  In the second episode of this two-part series, we spoke to local guests about how much stray dogs would be missed from the streets and how the government should embrace the passionate and hard-working animal rights community to reach a better solution that still addresses the overpopulation problem while going about it safely and humanely.Guest experts featured, in order, include Ahmet Senpolat (HAYTAP, Animal Rights Federation), Nazlan Ertan (journalist), Lisanne Hillen (Melez Dog Rescue), and Elizabeth Lo (filmmaker).For more information about the episode, guests, and featured links: dogsavethepeople.com/episodes/turkey-stray-dog-dilemma-2024-pt-2

I'm joined by Kathy Rust of the Vizsla Club of America, a passionate Breeder of Merit with the AKC and perhaps the Vizsla's biggest fan. Get ready to hear all about why these dogs are truly one-of-a-kind. Whether you're looking for a loving, kid-friendly companion or an incredibly intelligent and versatile dog, Vizslas check every box. Kathy takes us on a captivating journey through the breed's remarkable history, showing us why these dogs are so cherished today. "Vizsla" comes from the Hungarian word meaning "pointing," but these dogs are much more than just talented hunting companions. From their earliest appearances in ancient paintings and drawings to their rise as the favored dogs of Hungarian aristocrats, Vizslas have a rich and storied past. But their survival hasn't always been easy. During World War II, Hitler sought to wipe them out to demoralize the locals, and later the Communists targeted them for being a symbol of wealth. The breed was nearly lost, with only about a dozen Vizslas remaining at one point. Thanks to the resilience and dedication of Vizsla lovers, the breed was saved from extinction. Today, they're known as "velcro" dogs for their affectionate nature and are beloved for their versatility. Tune in as Kathy shares her deep knowledge and passion for this incredible breed—one that continues to win hearts all around the world. www.furrealpodcast.com           www.vcaweb.org fb The Fur Real Podcast             fb Vizsla Club of America ig @thefurrealpodcast               ig @officialvizslaclubofamerica tiktok The Fur Real Podcast       tik tok Vizsla Club of America   Speical thanks to J Jig Cicero @jjigcicero for our music intro and outro..you rock!!!

The Turkish Parliament passed new legislation this summer that aims to remove all stray dogs from the streets by 2028, as these dogs are labeled by the government dangerous and causing harm to humans. This is a significant shift in policy in a country where street dogs have been embedded and accepted into its culture for centuries. Turkish animal welfare groups say in reality there are very few deadly dog attacks, but social media sensationalization and politicization of incidents have complicated debates. While everyone agrees there needs to be better plans to manage the country's dog overpopulation, there is conflict on how to handle it. Animal advocates argue the 100,000 capacity in current shelters cannot humanely accommodate an estimated four million street dogs, calling the new stray dog legislation the “massacre law.” In the first episode of this two-part series, we explore the unique culture tradition of stray dogs living in Turkey, and discuss the problems and challenges around this new stray dog removal law.We spoke to several guest experts about their perspective on Turkey's stray dog dilemma with the new law. Guests include Elizabeth Lo (filmmaker), Nazlan Ertan (journalist), Lisanne Hillen (Melez Dog Rescue), and Ahmet Senpolat (HAYTAP, Animal Rights Federation).For more information about the episode, guests, and featured links: www.dogsavethepeople.com/episodes/turkey-stray-dog-dilemma-2024-pt-1
