In this episode of Meet the Animal People, Chris sits down with Tara Tanjga, founder of Only Rescues, the app helping rescue dogs and cats find their perfect forever homes.

Tara shares her journey from growing up in Dorset and working in the charity sector, to the life-changing loss of her beloved rescue dog, Max, which inspired the creation of Only Rescues. Described as "Tinder for rescue pets," the platform is making pet adoption more accessible while supporting rescue shelters across the UK.

They discuss the realities of animal rescue, the challenges shelters face, misconceptions about rescue pets, and how the pet industry can do more to support animal welfare. Plus, Tara shares practical advice for anyone considering adopting a rescue dog or cat.

A heartfelt conversation about grief, purpose, resilience, and the incredible impact rescue animals have on our lives. 🐾
