Where Did You Find Your Dog?

New Rochelle Humane Society

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

I was going through a rough patch in my life and decided to adopt a dog in need. I went to my local Humane Society and met with several dogs and we just didnt click. The volunteer at the shelter suggested that I see Sam being that he is the shelter favorite and has been there for over 6 months already and everyone always passes him up because of his breed and color. Of course i agreed to meet him. She left him in the room with me to attend to a matter and he watched as the volunteer left the room. He then quickly went to the table where a box of toys were on top of and reached for the box with his paw and pulled it closer to him. He then proceeded to look for the perfect toy and ran back to sit in between my legs and looked up at me with the most beautiful biggest brown eyes ive ever seen and it was then that we knew we were meant for each other. The moment the volunteer came back into the room I asked where do I sign.

How Has Your Hero Changed Your Life?

I was on a path of self destruction at that point in my life. Sam has shown me a love i could have never imagined. He taught me to be selfless, responsible and compasionate. He truly has the heart of gold and it radiates off of him and onto anyone he comes across. No matter how hard things get, as long as he is by myside, I am the happiest luckiest human being alive. He rescued me and for that I am forever grateful.

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.
