My son, Josh, made a very sweet video about pet adoption for an NYC rescue group called Pillows
for Paws©, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The mission of the RescueMen©
campaign is to raise awareness to adopt, not shop for companion animals
and showcase how wonderful and loving shelter/rescue animals can be.

Donations to the campaign are used to bring
essential material items needed on a monthly basis to NYC homeless cats, dogs,
and rabbits at the city's animal shelters. This includes, beds, toys, treats,
grooming and behavioral enrichment supplies.
Homeless animals come into a shelter having been abused, abandoned, or
neglected, with most of them beyond frightened. Supporting their emotional
stability is important to the overall well-being of an animal as they spend
time in a traumatic shelter environment. Healthy, stimulated and relaxed
shelter animals are more likely to be adopted. This is everyone’s goal!
