RON DANTA and his partner DANNY ROBERTSHAW are the founders of Danny & Ron’s Rescue, which speaks for helpless animals who have no voice. They began their rescue mission in 2005 after Hurricane Katrina, aiding dogs who were left homeless by the storm. Since then, their outreach has grown exponentially. They rescue puppy mill dogs, bait dogs used in dogfighting, and have saved more than 13,000 canines from euthanasia. They currently deliver pet food and supplies to more than 48 elderly people living in poverty—and pay for their dogs’ medical bills, too. They have rescued dogs from junkyards and shelters, freed animals chained to trees and living in small cages, and saved abandoned pets living on the streets. They live in South Carolina.
