What does it really take to give a troubled rescue dog a second chance?

In this episode of Rescue Tails, Robert and Robin record from the Seattle airport as they bring Scooby, a young lab mix rescued from South Korea, to Alaska Dog Works for intensive behavioral training.

Scooby’s past includes suspected meat farm origins, multiple level-four bite incidents, and escalating resource guarding behaviors in a shelter environment. With few training options available in Korea, the decision was made to transport him internationally for rehabilitation.

This episode breaks down:

• The real logistics of flying a rescue dog internationally

• CDC import requirements and airline regulations

• The true financial cost of saving one dog

• Why some dogs deserve every possible chance

• What kind of adopter will Scooby ultimately need

If you’ve ever wondered whether difficult dogs can be rehabilitated, or what goes on behind the scenes in international rescue work, this is an honest, unfiltered look at the process.
