Today, we have a very emotive episode. Our last episode. After 125+ episodes and 2+ years, it’s come time to say goodbye, and take this moment to pause and reflect.

Bridget and Sydney share their experiences and learnings on what it has been like being co-hosts of the From Tip to Tail show and what connecting to rescues every week, in a different way has been like while sharing their feelings about the people and animals they’ve met and interacted with.

This is the end of an era. Welcome to the show’s last episode.


Topics Include
- Why FTTT started
- The importance of collaboration in rescue
- The episodes we loved
- The animals we’ve grown to love
- Three things we are grateful for
- And other topics…

- Surviving cancer and stepping up
- The realities of cat rescue in Huston
