Adopting a Rescue Dog Changed My Life, with Svati Patel

Back to YOU

WHAT'S HAPPENING

Svati Patel shared her experience adopting and fostering rescue dogs, highlighting how her dog Rani was saved from abuse in Puerto Rico and adopted through a rescue network, and discussed the broader need for pet adoption and compassion.

WHY IT MATTERS

Challenging stereotypes about rescue and shelter dogs is vital, as many are abandoned due to human actions rather than behavioral issues. Promoting adoption can save lives, foster compassion, and address the overpopulation crisis in shelters.
