10 pets across the country have been chosen as finalists in the Purina Pro Plan “Doing More for Pets” Rescue Stories Contest. The program honors the amazing, but often untold, stories of pet rescue and raises awareness about its importance. These rescued pets have overcome great odds to survive, thanks to the incredible hard work of small pet rescue organizations.
A sample of some stories include:
Buddy, submitted by Border Collies In Need, Inc. (Phelan, CA)
Found severely mauled when he was used as a bait dog for competitive dog fighting, Buddy is now thriving. In fact, the gratefulness of this once-mistreated Border Collie has inspired others to realize that no matter what life hands you, a good heart will always overcome the bad.
Kobe, submitted by Dalmatian Rescue North Texas (Dallas)
Hit by a car, stranded, starving and left to fend for themselves on the side of the road, a Dalmatian mother and her pup are now strong on their road to recovery, and hopeful about finding a forever home.
Leopold, submitted by Great Lakes Weimaraner Rescue (Gary, IN)
After being rescued from a cold, lonely shelter, an injured yet hopeful Weimaraner had to give a little in order to gain a lot. An injury forced veterinarians to amputate his leg but he now has a loving family and a future thanks to many strangers who helped along the way.
