Where Did You Find Your Dog?
Misty was born in Bosnia in the backyard of a gypsy family. As her mother being an American Pitbull Terrier, the family thought they would make money with newborn puppies. But unfortunately Misty was the only puppy that survived in those not appropriate environment. Only a few months old, she was hurt by a gypsy boy who badly injured her eye. Because of the severe damage of her eye, she suffered from secundary glaucoma. Injured and in pain she was rescued by two courageous girls who took her away from that backyard where she didn’t get any medical treatment. On their way to help stray dogs in Kosovo, Misty was treated, sterilized and operated by TNR team from Slovenia.
Tell Us About the Moment When You Knew that You Two Were Meant for Each Other.
By supporting and following their work I found out about that poor little girl. And being a proud owner of one blind dog suffering from glaucoma (primary) I decided to take this dog from the streets of Bosnia. In the end of June 2013 I sat in the car and went to Banja Luka – Bosnia and took her home with me.

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.){kind=link}
