Greetings dog friends, friends of dogs and cats,

It's me Rosie! I have a new post series we're calling Rosie to the Rescue! where I talk about all things to do with rescue groups, which next to food, is my favorite topic.

This month, I'd like to introduce you to a new group that is, kind of a big deal. You could say they're minor heroes, in that they're minors and they're heroes!

That's right, they're kids who are saving the lives of countless dogs and cats across the country and they call themselves, Kids Against Animal Cruelty (KAAC)! They're like the Justice League that's gone to the dogs (sorry, had to).



With several chapters across the U.S. they network on Facebook to save lives posting 2 to 3 times a day until someone goes to the pound and saves a dog friend in need. They've saved over 20,000 lives in 2 years and they're group is growing in spayeds (bad pun? sorry again).

KAAC gets a boost in numbers with the help of a rising star. The group's founder, Lou Wegner, is a 16 year old actor/singer who advocates for animals every time he hits the red carpet. He started the group when he was 14 and now boasts 10 chapters in the U.S. alone and 50,000 members globally!

They're doing amazing work and we're really excited to be supporting KAAC! To read more about Lou and his crew go to: http://www.myhero.com.
