The harsh reality of animal shelters is that sometimes, even the sweetest souls face the unthinkable – euthanasia.
Mosey, a lovable pit bull, found himself on death row, another heartbreaking statistic.
But fate, with a little help from a kind stranger, intervened.
A Road Trip with a Purpose
Jon Mancinetti, a man with a big heart, embarked on a unique road trip with his dog, Smokey.
Each stop included a visit to the local shelter, a chance to shine a light on deserving adoptable dogs.
During a visit to a Memphis shelter, Jon was about to leave when a volunteer mentioned Mosey’s impending euthanasia.
