The Petco Foundation will celebrate 20 years of saving lives at its Lifesaving Awards in San Diego, Calififornia Thursday where 500 pet-loving guests will come together to honor extraordinary animal welfare heroes. One of those heroes is Dr. Peter Rork who established Dog Is My CoPilot, which Petco describes as one man with a small plane and a big heart. Dr. Rork partners with nearly 100 animal welfare organizations to save animal lives across the country by transporting pets from shelters in areas in need to geographical locations where adopters are eagerly awaiting their new family members. Since 2012, Dog Is My CoPilot has flown more than 13,000 animals to safety, sparing them from euthanasia. Susanne Kogut, president of the Petco Foundation explains, “The Petco Foundation’s Lifesaving Awards is a celebration of love that saves animal lives and represents our gratitude to animal welfare heroes who put their love into action every day.”
