The Rescue State

 Kim Moodey

Welcome to The Rescue State Podcast—a powerful and compassionate space where we champion the voiceless. I am your host and animal advocate Kim Moodey, this weekly show dives deep into the realities of California’s shelter system and what it will take to become a true No Kill state.

Through compelling interviews with rescue leaders, shelter workers, and animal rights activists, along with my own personal stories from the front lines, each episode sheds light on the urgent issues facing vulnerable animals. From success stories to systemic challenges, we explore how supporting high-kill shelters can lead to lasting change.

Whether you're a rescue volunteer, a passionate animal lover, or just curious about how to make a difference—The Rescue State Podcast is your source for inspiration, education, and action. Together, we can turn compassion into a movement and California into a No Kill state.
