R.O.A.R. Squad

                R.O.A.R. Squad: Rescue   Owners   Are   Rockin’

The Humane Society of the United States estimates that anywhere between 6-8 million animals are taken care of by shelters each year in the US. And every year, all kinds of fabulous, wonderful and dare I say “rockin’” individuals, families and groups step in to provide a loving home for many of these usually goofy, often smelly, and always heart touching little creatures and critters.

The original R.O.A.R Squad inspiration: My dog, the lovely Miss Kayloo

It’s those awesome rescue owners where the R.O.A.R. Squad comes in.

What is the R.O.A.R. Squad (read the launching blog post here):

We’re from all walks of life. We’ve invited rescue animals into our homes. AND WE ARE ROCKIN’.

The One Year Plan

Over the next year I will feature on Fido & Wino:
