The Ellen Degeneres Show Picks Up Bronx Man’s Plight To Save No-Kill Shelter

Four years ago Pedro Rosario took over $70,000 from his retirement plan to start NYC’s Top Dog & Animal Rescue — The Bronx’s only no-kill animal shelter.

The Ellen Degeneres Show heard about his plight and fundraiser this past weekend and decided to feature them on their website.

Many animals end up in shelters through no fault of their own. Sometimes a family moves and no pets are allowed, others become homeless, and then simply there are people who end up giving up their pets and throwing them onto the streets because they weren’t prepared for the commitment of having a furry companion.

How You Can Help

The number one way you can obviously help would be through financial donations, however, if that’s not possible, here’s a list of ways you can do your share to help out Rosario and his furry family according to their website:
