When you rescue a pet from an animal shelter they imperceptibly become a part of your heart, because a rescued cat is more cherished and the eyes of a rescued dog are warmer, full of love and gratitude… You realise you once held an innocent animal’s life in hands and you are the reason why this animal is alive today! People who rescue dogs know they are not only first-rate companions, but the most loving friends.

The Wild Idea or Why We Rescue is a US project, created to inspire people to save animals from shelters instead of buying pets. Along with Purina One, a group of local photographers travel around the country and tell the stories of rescued pets in some incredible photos…

“After seeing the project, even if one person decides to go to their local shelter to adopt an animal, I‘d consider the whole thing a success. Every rescue story is a worthy story“, said Humphrey, the organiser of this event.

Here is Frankie. He spent 6 months of his life in a cage with a broken heart till his new family saved him. “He walked across the room to us and laid his head in my lap“, said David {Frankie’s owner} about their first meeting.
