Goal
The Live Like Roo Foundation started in 2015 when a shelter dog named "Sisqo" captured the heart of Sarah, our Executive Director. When he was rescued and renamed "Roosevelt" (Roo) and undergoing a medical exam, they found cancer. It was terminal. He was given a bucket list and lived like a king for 6 months. Many people followed his journey, and Sarah was inspired to help others in his honor. Since 2016, they have granted over $2.3 million dollars to pets and rescue animals with cancer diagnoses and sent 5500 cancer care packages.
I was one of those people who followed Sarah and Roo's journey. I never met Roo, but I lovingly say that my dog Huck was a big fan. They ran into each other several times after being rescued by the same organization. Roo once jumped out of a car to greet Huck at the vet (they were both fine!). I also have Sarah to personally thank for finding my Huck at CACC and connecting him with a rescue that took him in.
I've had dogs my entire life- they are family to me. The Live Like Roo Foundation fights relentlessly to make a devastating time easier for families. It may mean the resources to get a pet treatment. It may mean comfort and extra time to say goodbye to one's pet. Regardless of the diagnosis, LLR puts families and pets first. Because of how hard they work for others, I'm choosing to run for Team Roo again. Help me get to my donation goal so that together, we can help make the impossible a little bit easier for pets and their families.
Roo's legacy taught me that we should live fully, no matter our circumstances. Let's work together and Live Like Roo.
