On this episode of The Mount Pleasant Podcast, host Brian Cleary is joined by Danielle Zuck, the driving force behind Journey Home Animal Rescue Alliance. Discover how this powerful, volunteer-led animal rescue and transport network operates right here in South Carolina to save dogs from overcrowded rural shelters. Danielle shares her remarkable journey of bringing her background in high-stress VIP logistics for the New York Mets, New York Fashion Week, and major arena events down to the Lowcountry to build a lifesaving operation.

-
The Relay System: How local volunteers act as vital links in a transport chain, driving short "legs" to move dogs safely to foster care and medical appointments.
