Ep253 - Sada from Wolf Mother K9 on Fearful Dogs, Shelter Realities & Redemption

In this episode we welcome back Sada (Saharai Salazar), founder of Wolf Mother K9 Rescue Services.

Known for her fearless work with “unadoptable” shelter dogs, Sada shares deeper insight into her approach to rehabilitating fear-based and aggressive behavior in high-risk dogs.

We dive into the emotional and behavioral toll of the shelter system, how mislabeling dogs can cost them their lives, and what real, compassionate rescue work looks like on the ground.

Sada also opens up about the mindset it takes to keep showing up for dogs in need—and the human transformation that often happens along the way.

Whether you're a trainer, rescuer, or dog owner, this episode is packed with perspective-shifting wisdom and raw, honest stories from someone who lives and breathes canine advocacy.
