In this episode of the Pawareness Podcast, host Kris McCauley welcomes Krista Almqvist, the Executive Director of Badass Animal Rescue. Based in New York, Badass Animal Rescue has rescued an approximate number of 3,400 dogs since they began operations in 2011. Their primary focus is saving dogs at risk in high-kill shelters in the rural south. They take in and treat dogs with skin conditions such as mange, dogs in need of immediate medical attention, and dogs with injury.


Badass Animal Rescue connects with their partner organizations in southern states to know the animal situation in these areas. Dogs will then be treated in these organizations and receive care in temporary homes before being transported to New York. Once the dogs are relocated, they will be given immediate medical assistance and a comfortable shelter while the rescue is working on ways to provide them with the best homes and potential adopters. They spend quality time with each dog. Donations help run the rescue.


“We go where the need is greatest and we save dogs in greatest need.” - Krista Almqvist
