Summary
This week’s episode of Rainy Day Rabbit Holes is a little different—in the best way. As part of Podcastathon, Shea and Jody are stepping away from their usual unhinged history to spotlight PACK (People for Animal Care and Kindness), a local nonprofit dedicated to keeping pets and their people together during times of hardship. Through powerful, true stories of animal heroism—from a fearless house cat to life‑saving guide dogs on 9/11—this special episode explores loyalty, compassion, and the quiet work that makes happy endings possible. Shea also shares a deeply personal story about fostering (and ultimately adopting) a dog made possible by PACK. It’s heartfelt, a little tear‑stained, and full of gratitude—for animals, for community, and for the people who show up when it matters most.
