Dog Has A Happy Life After Being Rescued From High-Risk Shelter

| Published on October 11, 2018

Part of each sale through the iHeartDogs store is donated to Greater Good, which helps support various charities. Thanks to customers like you, happy endings, like the one below, are made possible. 

iHeartDogs readers have been helping support The Shelter Transport Animal Rescue Team (START) through the Second Chance Movement. START provides transport for at-risk pets in high-risk shelters, and finds them a safe place in a no-kill facility.

Tuco was in a kennel at a San Bernardino, CA Shelter. He was found as a stray and taken in, but once his stray hold was up, he’d be in danger of being euthanized if not adopted. This amazing but sad boy had no rescue interest and was in danger of losing his precious life to shelter overcrowding.

START board member, Linda R., had a friend who saw his shelter photo online and immediately fell in love with him, reaching out to START for assistance in bringing Tuco to their family. After several phone calls, and with a local transporter and the stars aligned, Tuco went to his new home in Woodland Hills, CA.

Tuco and his new family couldn’t be happier!

Your purchases through the iHeartDogs store helped buy Tuco his second chance through the Second Chance Movement! When you buy items from the Second Chance Movement collection, you’re funding travel miles to get pets out of high-risk shelters and buying them time to find a forever home!

Provides 9 miles of transport for pets in high risk shelters!
