 Couple Rescues Over 13,000 Dogs and Gives Pets 'Lifetime Promise' that They'll Never Be Unhappy

Danny and Ron's Rescue is run by Ron Danta and Danny Robertshaw out of their South Carolina home, where they care for dozens of dogs in need of a second chance.

Danny Robertshaw and Ron Danta have dedicated their lives to dogs.

This mutual love of animals, combined with a self-described proclivity to "jump in with both feet," led the couple to rescue dogs and save approximately 600 dogs caught in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Danta and Robertshaw officially dedicated themselves to dog rescue after this heroic effort and founded the nonprofit Danny & Ron's Rescue. 

"There was never a time when either of us had to ask the other, 'Are you up for this?'" Danta comments on the decision.

Before establishing the nonprofit, Danta and Robertshaw paid for their rescue dogs' care with their own money, taking out home equity loans and withdrawing from retirement accounts.

Thanks to donations to Danny & Ron's Rescue, the couple's life-saving work has expanded, and they have now given nearly 14,000 dogs a second chance at life.

Danny & Ron's Rescue provides each dog with a ""Lifetime Promise," the couple explains, "which means they will never be in a shelter, homeless, hungry, or unhappy again." They will never be alone again. Each dog is rescued and placed in our home, not in a facility away from us. We love them as if they were our own, even as we try to find them forever homes where they can receive more individualized attention than we can give at our house because we have so many."

Danta and Robertshaw give their rescue dog residents free rein of the house, allowing them to visit any room and sleep on the couches and beds.
