Operation ResCUTE™ Plush rescue Dog and Book Review and Giveaway

**This conversation is brought to you by Operation ResCUTE™. All opinions are my own.**

Those of you who have followed the journey of my dogs know that they all are rescue dogs. Bud I found but Piper and Jack were rescued from deplorable conditions and then adopted by me. I can not imagine having a dog that is not a rescue as there are so many who have been neglected, abused and mistreated needing a home. So when I saw that Operation ResCUTE™ was a book, and a sweet plush, about a rescue dog, I had to have him for my kids.

The story stars the true-life-story of Jingles, a homeless puppy in New York City that gets to live happily ever after. Youngsters discover (as they snuggle with their plush pup) that shelters are full of friendly faces. Like many happy-ending stories, this one began tragically when NYC marketing powerhouse Laurie Brown-Nagin spotted an Animal Control Officer carrying a puppy to a pro-bono veterinarian. The animal lover and mom fell in love with Jingles, the shelter pooch that desperately needed a warm, loving home. As a marketing researcher, Brown-Nagin discovered only 30 percent of pets in homes come from shelters and rescueorganizations. Worse, an estimated 2.7 million healthy pets remain in shelters each year! She started a non-profit, www.OperationRescute.com, and used her years of marketing prowess to package this inspiring boxed set for the next generation to read and feel empowered to make a difference.

But more than that… 100% of the proceeds from the purchase of the set goes to shelter dogs being adopted. 100%. With approximately 2.7 million healthy and loveable pets in shelters as we speak, I want to do my part to get them loving homes. This purchase helps and gives kids a story that helps them learn to be kind and loving towards animals.

As a mom who wants my children to learn to love and take care of animals as much as they take care of us, this is a winner no matter how you slice it! I beg of you, as a mom of a #oneeyedJack, a #pamperedPiper and a #Budweiser, please purchase this set for your holiday gift giving. Know that as you hand it to someone in a happy home, a pet may be entering their happy home too!
