Hero Pets: When Animals Save the Day
About this episode
This episode highlights the work of PACK and shares stories of animal heroism and community support.
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.
