LIFE IN THE DOGHOUSE
Children’s Book Series Hits Shelves, Based On Real Life Dogs From Danny & Ron’s Rescue
BY EMMA MILLER
For lifelong animal lovers Danny Robertshaw and Ron Danta, the work of dog rescue is never-ending. The couple, who met through a mutual love for equestrian sport, shifted gears to begin focusing their efforts on the other four-legged friends that needed their help in 2005. Though the two
were passionate about saving dogs long before, Danny and Ron’s Rescue truly saw its inception during Hurricane Katrina. Their rescue mission began in earnest as they saved more than 600 dogs from the national disaster in Louisiana. For their efforts during Hurricane Ka-
trina, they were named the 2008 ASPCA Honorees of the Year. Since then, Robertshaw and Danta have used their personal home for Danny & Ron’s Rescue, forming as a nonprofit organization that has saved more than 12,000 dogs, placing them in loving homes. wellington the magazine | april 2022 45
