A Dog's Devotion

Carla Bosacki

*A Dog’s Devotion* is a podcast dedicated to those who love and care for senior dogs — the companions who give us their whole lives, even though their time with us is far too short. As our dogs age, the journey changes. It becomes more complex, more emotional, and at times, incredibly difficult. This podcast is here to walk that path with you. We talk about everything that matters in your dog’s later years — from proper nutrition and asking the right questions at the vet, to recognizing quality of life, making the heartbreaking decision of euthanasia, and navigating the grief that follows the loss of a beloved companion. Born from my own experience with my rescue dog Max, *A Dog’s Devotion* is a place for honest conversations, expert insight, and shared understanding. Because loving a senior dog is one of the greatest gifts — and one of the hardest goodbyes. If you have questions, fears, or simply want to feel less alone on this journey, this podcast is for you.

    The Anna Shelter

    Welcome to A Dog's Devotion, the podcast for all dog lovers. Here we talk about dogs changing lives, rescue dog stories, dog love, the human animal bond, and life with dogs. We as dog lovers know that our lives are so enriched when we have a loving dog by our side. To share adventures, love and just the silence of being together.  On today's episode, we are talking about the importance of dog rescue. The horrific stories that come with it break my heart, but they have to be told so we can put an end to it.  The Anna Shelter is trying to do just that.  This episode of A Dog’s Devotion shines a light on the critical, life-saving work being done by rescues like The Anna Shelter, where abandoned, neglected, and abused animals are given a second chance at the love they’ve always deserved. Behind their doors are stories that are difficult to hear—but impossible to ignore. Across this country, countless animals suffer in silence, victims of cruelty, neglect, and unimaginable abuse. And yet, in places like The Anna Shelter, compassion rises to meet that darkness. Here, broken spirits are rebuilt, trust is restored, and love becomes the bridge between pain and healing. This conversation is not just about awareness—it’s about action. Because these animals cannot speak for themselves… but we can. Please listen, share, like, and comment.Together, we can be their voice. There is more animal abuse in this country than ever before, we must do what we can to stop it. Thanks to Ruth from The Anna Shelter for the work she is doing. Some of what you will hear will tear your heart into pieces, it did mine - so just be aware we cover some horrific cases of animal abuse.  Thanks for listening, as always. Hopefully one day we won't have to cover stories like Mimi's.  xoxoCarla, Max & Smokey

    Is Your Senior Dog in Pain? The Gentle Healing You Didn’t Know Existed

    Welcome to A Dogs Devotion, a dog podcast, that is all about the human animal bond, and how dogs change lives. In this episode we talk about senior dog health. When our dogs get older, everything changes. The slow walks… the stiffness… the look in their eyes that makes you wonder, are they hurting? In this episode of A Dog’s Devotion, I speak with a canine chiropractor who is helping senior dogs find relief in ways many pet parents don’t even know are possible. If your dog is struggling to get up, hesitating on stairs, or just not themselves anymore, this conversation could change everything. We talk about how to recognize hidden pain, what’s really happening in your dog’s body as they age, and how gentle, non-invasive care can bring comfort, mobility, and joy back into their lives. Because when they’ve given us their whole life… we owe them comfort in theirs. Canine chiropratic care is becoming more and more popular, and the results that many dog parents are seeing is incrediable. You maybe on the fence, you may wonder if it really works, but give this episode a listen and maybe, just maybe we can shed some light on it so you can make your own decision.  Taking care of our senior dogs is a priority, no one wants to see their dog in pain. This just might be the answer that you have been looking for. Life with dogs is always so much better. As always, thanks for listening.  xoxoCarla, Max & Smokey

    Because They Deserve a Chance: Inside the World of Dog Rescue

    This week on A Dog’s Devotion, we shine a light on the extraordinary work of Three Little Pitties Rescue — a rescue saving all dog breeds and cats, and proving every single life matters. Dog rescue in our country has never been more important. Shelters are overwhelmed. The need is constant. And yet… thousands of people show up anyway. Transport drivers. Foster families. Behavior teams. Volunteers. Donors. Quiet heroes working behind the scenes. Today, I speak with one of the incredible women making it happen — one of the boots-on-the-ground voices in a movement fueled by compassion and action. From Texas to the Pacific Northwest, the East Coast, and the Midwest, they are moving animals from heartbreak to hope. Please follow their lifesaving work and daily updates on Instagram: @threelittlepittiesrescue And thank you — to you. A Dog’s Devotion has just been named one of the Top 39 Dog Podcasts in the Country. That honor belongs to this community. It breaks my heart that we still have to keep having these conversations about dog rescue. But we will continue. We will continue to share the stories. We will continue to amplify the people — just like you and me — who refuse to look away and are determined to save a dog’s life.And you can follow on with me @adogsdevotion1, where l continue to share my love and grief of loosing Max, to learning to love another little soul who was so badly in need of a loving home. Dogs are the best, and l prefer them over most people.God bless every single one of them. xoxo
