Where Did You Find Your Dog?

Multiple Breed Rescue

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

I knew Frankie was the one when I saw his picture posted on petfinder. He looked so small and afraid. We were meant for each other the moment I met him and fell in love with his little brown eyes. He sat so close to me the whole way home from Cleveland, where MBR is located. I knew we would never be far apart.

How Has Your Hero Changed Your Life?

We knew he would make a good therapy dog when he recently found my Mom lying on the floor after suffering a stroke. He alerted me to her location and stayed by her side until the ambulance arrived. He changed our lives when we adoopted him but who knew he would also save the life of my Mom! Due to this, he became a part of Therapy Pets of Greater Cincinnati and will soon be giving back to our community by visiting patients and their families. He also showed me that I can make a difference by helping other pets find their permanent homes and I have volunteered for his rescue for almost 2 years now. Adopt don’t Shop!

About Project Blue Collar:
Project Blue Collar (PBC) is the original movement to promote 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. PBC’s 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. Like “Livestrong for dog adoption,” it gets conversations going, increases awareness, and lets dogs be the marketers for adoption. 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 wear a Blue Collar to show their support for the movement.
To date, PBC has “Blue Collared” dogs in 12 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.
