The nonprofit offers this line of too-cute stuffed dogs along with their own books based on a real dog\u2019s actual rescue story. Targeted toward children ages 3 and up, the mission is “to teach empathy to the younger generation and encourage them to drive the decision to adopt a rescue dog or cat for their next pet.”<\/p>\n Laurie\u2019s first rescue dog, Jingles, was \u2014 and continues to be \u2014 her muse. \u201cJust knowing there are more than 6.5 million dogs and cats entering shelters each year and approximately only 30% getting adopted, I knew it was time to devote my efforts to helping other pets like Jingles find their loving homes,\u201d she explains. \u201cIt is so rewarding to know you can make a difference in this world and give these wonderful animals the love they so deserve! That is why 100% of our profits go directly to shelters to help in their adoption efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n Obviously, Operation ResCUTE is off to a great start. So, what\u2019s next in the plan? \u201cIf we create the awareness and get people on board to help save these animals, I hope to expand the ResCUTE line to include the stories of more rescue dogs and cats,\u201d Laurie says. \u201cIn addition, I am hoping to create another media vehicle for ResCUTES, which would involve film and\/or television programming. The more the message can grow, the greater the number of animals we can help save.
