🐾 In this episode of The Lifeline Podcast, we sit down with Howard Haskell, founder of Sea Dog Inn Pet Resort and the 501(c)(3) nonprofit Sea Dog Saves, to explore the incredible story of a pet boarding facility that’s been quietly saving lives for over 30 years.

What started in 1992 as a small hobby kennel in League City, Texas, has grown into one of the largest pet boarding facilities in the area — and a lifeline for local rescue organizations. Howard shares how Sea Dog Inn puts pets before profits, why he created Sea Dog Saves to support overwhelmed rescues, and the heartwarming stories of military reunions, first responder support, and thousands of animals given a second chance. If you’re passionate about animal welfare, community, or just love a story full of heart — this one’s for you. ❤️
