PetSmart Charities has teamed up with actor/producer Josh Duhamel and his production company, Dakotakid Media, to launch Rescue Waggin’®: Tales from the Road. Under the direction of Executive Producers Josh Duhamel and Jude Weng, the 8-episode web series follows homeless dogs as they travel hundreds, even thousands, of miles for a better chance of being adopted. The web series also includes cameos from celebrity pet adoption advocates including Kristen Bell, Adam Shankman and Bret Michaels.

Look interesting? You can see all 8 episodes on Youtube. Check out Episode 1 with Kristen Bell Here.

Location is everything: Some cities have too many homeless dogs and puppies; others have waiting adopters. So every day, the PetSmart Charities® Rescue Waggin’ program picks up selected dogs and puppies from partner shelters in areas where there are more dogs and puppies than can be placed through adoption. Then we transport them to places where they get adopted, often within days.  In fact, the Rescue Waggin’ program has helped save the lives of more than 70,000 dogs and puppies since they started it in 2004.

Did you know that P.A.W.S. is a Rescue Waggin’ source shelter?  Thanks to this life-saving program, last year P.A.W.S. was able to rescue over 100 dogs and send them to their new homes in other areas of the country.
