Your Dog Should Be “This Year’s Honorary Rescue Dog”

This Year's Rescue Dog

The first Planet Bark Scavenger Hunt and Festival on October 2nd could be your rescue dog's moment of glory!

It’s impossible not to admire rescued dogs for what they pulled themselves through to become a part of your life. If your rescue dog is that kind of hero, Our Companions wants to hear your story.

What makes your rescue dog’s rescue story amazing, unique, heroic?
Was your dog a Katrina survivor, for example?
A dog from the pound, hours from euthanasia? Has your rescue dog saved a life?
How has your rescue dog changed your life, or inspired you?

Between June 15th and August 30th, you can leave an approximately 200-word description of your rescued dog’s story. A $10 donation is required for each nomination. Click Here to nominate your rescued dog today!

The winning rescue dog will be honored as part of our inaugural Scavenger Hunt and Festival hosted by Planet Bark. This great event will be held on October 2nd (so save the date).

Stay tuned: between August 1st and September 1st, these heroic tales will be posted on the Our Companions website, and our readers will vote for their favorite rescue story and select the dog that will be honored at the Scavenger Hunt & Festival.

You know your rescue dog’s a hero. Tell the world.
