Babu has single-handedly rescued me

Where Did You Find Your Dog?

My husband adopted him from the San Jose shelter when he was about a year old.

Tell Us About the Moment When You Knew that You Two Were Meant for Each Other.

His name is Babu and he will turn 8 this year. I first met Babu three years ago when I moved to San Francisco and started dating Sriram (my husband). I was a different human being then; rabidly afraid of dogs and could never fathom why people had them as pets. Needless to say, my life has taken a complete 180 degree turn from those dark days of stupidity. Babu has single-handedly rescued me from years of dogless-ness and selfishness.

How Has Your Hero Changed Your Life?

Because of him, I have a new found appreciation for life and living beings and the best part of my day starts when I get back from work and see his loving face and tail wag. He continues to inspire me to reach out and help, in whichever little way I can, others like him who are still in need of their forever homes. He has made me more human than I could have ever been on my own.

All the best and keep the good work going!

About Project Blue Collar:
Project Blue Collar (PBC) is a global grassroots movement and passion brand dedicated to promoting dog adoption. PBC is striving to tell a different story about rescue dogs – not one of pity and sadness, but one that celebrates the joy and love that comes from welcoming a rescue dog into your family. Their goal is simple: To elevate the status of rescue dogs as prized pets and inspire more people to adopt.
PBC’s signature Support the Underdog® Blue Collar is the symbol of the movement. Taking the concept of the rubber cause wristband and making it into an accessory dog collar, this symbol gets conversations going and lets dogs be the marketers of the movement. The Support the Underdog® Blue Collar gives people a way to show their “rescue pride” and tell their dog’s story. Even dogs who weren’t adopted can join the movement to show their support for rescue dogs.
To date, PBC has “Blue Collared” dogs in 11 countries and in all 50 U.S. states. PBC donates a portion of their sales to rescue groups to support their lifesaving work. Visit www.projectbluecollar.com to learn more.
