Our 5yr old pit-bull suffered two life changing events within a months time. Firstly, the loss of his “buddy”, our 14yr old Cocker Spaniel. Then a tractor trailer/large truck (our only guess & probably unaware it happened) rolled him out in front of our house. While he didn't have any life threatening injuries, the muscle and tendon damage had him laid up, and put him in a depression, for lack of a better term. All it would have taken was for him go on with everyday life to get better, but he didn’t even want to try. I had not intended to add a new puppy to our lives so soon, but I thought it might help. A lady just south of us had rescued a sister & brother pair of 4mo old lab/border collie mix pups from the streets near her home, a little older than I was hoping for, but it turned out to be the best thing I could've done. This energetic, enthusiastic pup not only has a wonderfully crazy/goofy personality that wins my heart, joy, & laughter everyday, but more importantly he won the fight for our Brody. He wouldn‘t give up on him & wouldn‘t let him give up either. “He's back” and we owe it all to "Cooper."

About The Animal Rescue Site

The Animal Rescue Site focuses the power of the Internet on a specific need — providing food and vital care for some of the eight million unwanted animals given to shelters every year in the U.S., as well as animals in desperate need around the world. Over four million animals are put to death each year in the U.S. alone because they are abandoned and unwanted.

Each click on the purple "Click Here to Give — it's FREE!" button at The Animal Rescue Site provides food and care for a rescued animal in need. Funding for food and care is paid by site sponsors and distributed to animals in need by Rescue Bank, The Fund for Animals, the Petfinder Foundation, North Shore Animal League, International Fund for Animal Welfare,and other worthy animal rescue organizations supported by GreaterGood.org.

In addition to clicking the purple "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button, visitors can help more by shopping in The Animal Rescue Site store. With each item purchased, shoppers generate funds for the feeding and care of animals in shelters and sanctuaries.
