Where Did You Find Your Dog?
I found Lilah at the Southern Oregon Humane Society.
Tell Us About the Moment When You Knew that You Two Were Meant for Each Other.
I went into the shelter after finally deciding it was time to adopt a new family member. I had planned on looking for an older, medium sized dog that would otherwise be overlooked. I stopped at each kennel, greeting every dog many times over. No one seemed to feel like they shared a soul with me. I went into a room where they had a new litter of 13 puppies. Lilah was the smallest, sweetest pup of the bunch. I said hi to each pup, but when I picked her up, the little 3 month old ball of joy melted into my arms, yawning and dozing off. I walked out of the shelter that day with a Pit/Aussie baby.
How Has Your Hero Changed Your Life?
I have suffered from major depression and anxiety for all of my life. Lilah Quinn has been such an important part of my life since I brought her home. She sleeps with me every night, travels with me, and has been a wonderful rock to stabilize my ups and downs. She gave me the confidence to start new medications and is always by my side. She’s a part of my soul, and I wouldn’t trade her for anyone in the world.
 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.){kind=link}
