Hey Everyone 💛 thank you all for letting us know about the 10 second glitch in the beginning of the pod! Its being fixed as we speak. Have a great week and see you Sunday xx
Such a great conversation & so happy that you lovely ladies started your own podcast...that runs on love & solar power!🌞❤🙌🏿
I kind of like the "overdubbed foreign film" effect but you ladies have a "par excellence" reputation to maintain so fix it if you must. Either way it is great content.
Interesting show today
Ladies, you amaze me. This episode was so enlightening and makes me want to start a rescue for dogs, my only problem would be, no dog leaves because they would all be adopted by me :). Thank you Sydney and Henry (who I have follow too on RUclips) for all your hard word but yet so satisfying at times, you two are saving "the lost souls" of dogs *hugs*
@@PattyDalton1965 You don't have to start a rescue to help. Rescues are ALWAYS looking for fosters, and you can be that bridge to help a dog in need to find a forever home. And sending them along to a new family means that you can help another dog in need. 🙂
Aw so amazing to see other people dedicating so much towards helping animals 🐕😍
Such a great team, thank you for sharing! Dog rescue is hard, but soooo rewarding!❤❤❤
What a lovely couple, that makes two lovely couples. In my mind, anybody who care about animals must have a good heart.
Love from Mike. ❤❤
Wonderful meeting this couple and learning about their mission to rescue dogs😊❤️🐕🐾
As a dog lover, this podcast did my heart good. Thank you for introducing your guests to your pack.
You two are podcast pros, now! And that was an interesting chat. My awareness of dog rescue started with a rescue called the Baja Animal Sanctuary about 20 miles south of San Diego. Later I started to foster with a local rescue, and to date my pack of four (all foster failures) and I have fostered 123 puppies...three of whom are wrestling around in my living room right now! And your guests are right: The resident dogs do a LOT of the work of socializing the puppies and acclimating them to home life, so that when they are adopted they already know how to act in their forever homes.
Great podcast!! I applaud the great work that Sydney and Henry do. I have worked with a rescue in Wisconsin. We would take a sprinter van loaded up crates down to Texas and bring the dogs back to Wisconsin. In Houston there is a big stray dog population. I remember one of our drivers found a blanket in the curb in front of a house. On the blanket there was a litter of puppies that were maybe a couple of weeks old. If the puppies were left there they would have have been hit. The driver found out that the momma dog lived in the house that the puppies were in front of. The driver went to the house. She was hoping to get the momma dog so the puppies could nurse, but the owner wouldn’t give up the momma. Needless to say the puppies were loaded into a tote and were bottle fed and brought back to Wisconsin. The rescue then makes sure that they go to their furever homes. All adopters sign a contract that they will have their puppy spayed or neuter when they are 6 months old. If they don’t the puppy is surrendered back to the rescue. I will be following Sydney and Henry’s rescue endeavors. ❤❤
Eamon and Bec have a cafe' rescue dog shelter they built in Mexico. It's pretty awesome! It would be cool if y'all hooked up and worked together.
I completely agree!!! I was going to suggest that as well. I'm an animal lover and ONLY get my furbabies thru pet adoption. I feel those animals needs a forever home before a breeder's dog. In my 30+yrs of having cats and doggies they've all been the best most loving companions. It's like they give more love out of appreciation for rescuing them from the chaos of a shelter.
My hat goes off to this amazing couple for doing such a selfless act of kindness. Keep up your amazing work. 🐾♥️
Thank you for that great conversation with this impressive couple and their great work 🐾😍
You are excellent interviewers. You allow people the time and space to answer your questions in full. I’m impressed.
This week started in a different format, but as I kept watching it, I started to tear up. Why? This community has some of the best human beings on earth. Animal rescue and the stories told gave me hope that others will follow in Sydney and Henry's footsteps.
That was one of the most interesting and informative podcast I have watched!!!!! Absolutely loved it 🎉🎉🎉🎉 THANK YOU to All ❤❤❤❤ Love from the UK x
God girl these podcast are going gangbusters, love watching you, all the way from Australia. xxx
Wow, what an amazing interview, sharing it with my dog loving family.
Thanks!
We’ve had 3 three rescue dogs so far. Two passed on at 15 and 16, and a 10 year old still running strong 🐾
Thanks for sharing! Sydney and Henry are angels.
Great topic girls. Being a dog lover and owner the most time of my life. I love hearing and seeing other people who care for dogs and animals in general as well. So thanks again for another great podcast. Stay safe all ❤ Michael 🇩🇰
HAPPY HUMP DAY!! Lol so excited for wednesdays and the new friends you bring on your show!! Have an amazing week everyone!
I recently stumbled upon one of their videos and the family came to their house to take their adopted dog home and the children were giddy over their new dog and the parents were delighted to see their children so happy. The adoptive family were waving goodbye from their vehicle. A happy ending. All of you are angels ❤
What’s the name of their channel?
It is a very beautiful heartwarming podcast. I am now following you all on Instagram. Love to all of you and the wonderful work that you do.🥰
I’ve followed Sydney for a while now! It was great to get to know Henry better!
Great job tonight ladies! Very enjoyable and some new channels to follow!
Hello pack leaders you hit it out of the park my fearless girls you are making something very special luv Brian
Pretty great pod🐾I’ve been following DotR for a couple of years now. Sydney and Henry are doing the work of angels and I thank them for it. Thank you C&J for going more in depth and Shari g it with us🌿🐾❤️
You might enjoy our channel if you like the animal work and travel :) although we are on a boat!
🎉 great job once again. Loved the whole thing. Love that those people are doing what they can for those poor dogs.
What a lovely couple! Great interview ladies! ❤️❤️❤️
Another great Pack Chat ladies, this was amazing and so informative. What they are doing for the dogs is just so wonderful, they are truly selfless. Loved it! 💜💜💜💜
What a wonderful couple to be the first guests on the podcast. Winnie is so sweet, fingers crossed for a great new forever home. We saw Pearl, i think was her name but didnt see Finn so i have subscribed to their channel so i can not only follow their story and all the great work they do, but also see Finn. Thanks for introducing them to me x
Amazing! Thanks for following then Lynne 💛
Zak George is a great dog trainer for those interested. It is all positive and he focuses on building a relationship with your dog ❤️
The best :) thanks for sharing that. That’s who we used for Bella & Izzy!
I listened to the podcast and it was fabulous. Thanks for bringing an excellent topic and conversation to your platform.
Keep up the great work!
Shout out to Winnie. That is the name of our new puppy.
Your channel is Awesome!! We’ve rescued a few dogs over the years and now have a 18 year old cat. Going to be rescuing another dog soon. 🐾
Sydney and Henry are awesome, strong, generous people who’ve found a beautiful way to serve the world. You have to be strong to do what they do, and also to not keep all the dogs!
I don’t think Sydney realizes eloping means running off and getting married without anyone there, lol. What she’s talking about is a destination wedding. And I’m saying this with love, not to be unkind: I think they should reconsider asking people to fly somewhere for their wedding and then exclude them from the ceremony. If they want to have an intimate ceremony, then it shouldn’t be a destination wedding.
Amazing 👏. Happy hump day to you all ❤
This was great!! I've seen her RUclips shorts but didn't know about the rescue aspect...I love it n everything they r doing!!! I don't have any social media (by choice) but I will keep following the shorts!! This was very eye opening as well. I know there is a huge problem in the US n I personally know ppl that their pets do not go to the vet due to money n it's hard because imo if u cannot afford it, u don't have the pet!!! To me it's like taking ur child to the doctor but as much as I have tried to help find low cost vets etc nobody listens to me n it breaks my heart n puts me in a bad situation. There's a lot to it but the point is that I love what they do and wish there was more help for all these neglected poor babies!!!
That's for another great podcast ladies!! ✌🏼💙🐾
Wow! I have seen Sydney’s shorts on youtube and loved her story. I should have realized that these two were friends with you! I have subscribed now and will check out Finn’s accounts as well. They are amazing! And now I can find out why there are two vans! Thanks for sharing these lovely people! I love you two so much and especially your Aussies! They remind me of my Blue Merle Aussie.
You might enjoy our channel if you like the animal stories! Im an Aussie too so can get along well with all the blue-ys!
Awesome video girls!!! I hope y'all raise lots of money for the puppies!!! All y'all are so awesome for sure!
I love recuses.. All are Amina’s are recuses…. I feel they love you for saving them… Great pod cast today ladies see ya on Sunday!
More awesome humans. Awesome interview as well. Well done all around.

Thank you
Winnie is so cute.
Great podcast, you need to meet up with Dr Sherri of vets tails, I am sure you will have common ground.

💕🕊️
excellent talk! "Van Talk"
Thanks :):)
Alabama hills ca? Where the heck is that. I live here and never heard of it
Are they on RUclips? I can’t find them
Link to their RUclips please
Great subject for your podcast. I hope it brings in a while new revenue stream for them.
13 days since a Vanwives video? Not crazy about watching you chat on the couch....
Is this only me or something wrong here 1:20
Something’s wrong on mine too
Yeah, mine messes up....the sound is off from the video
Amazing Video ( Podcast ) Love it pretty beautiful stunning Queens Highlight of The day 💕 best days in The week are you Upload
Strange presentation with the audio being from another timeline. Why is this so screwed up?!
RUclips was processing. It should be good now :)
@@vanwivespackchat It was perfect when I checked about 3 hours later. Thanks.
I'm not getting my notifications. 😢
hey am ok now i feel great my healt is back on track you your prt of my recovery m free of cancer yer love seu
Are you both okay? No podcast this week.
No hablo anything. Shrug. heehee
It irritates me that people are embarrassed about being "woke". I wonder if the alternative "asleep" is a better descriptor? I will always proudly be woke or awake.
No no not embarrassed. Just wanted a better word to describe Henry :) haha
They way you guys talk in so annoying and come across disingenuous . The dog people are doing good but using the dogs for views and making money off it so they can travel. I'm not sure what to think of that
Nice podcast but they talk to fast to enjoy just the lady sorry I do enjoy listening to you gals but talking fast is not fun to listen to.
🤮🤮🤮
Hello pack leaders you hit it out of the park my fearless girls you are making something very special luv Brian
