2. Original Stories Only: We want to showcase real rescue stories, so please submit only your own experiences and avoid fictional accounts or stories involving characters from movies, TV, or books.

3. Your Voice Matters: Share your story in your own words. If someone is assisting you in writing or recording, make sure it still reflects your unique perspective and experience.

4. Real-Life Impact: Whether it’s a dramatic rescue, an inspiring transformation, or the daily struggles of animal rescue work, we want to hear about the moments that matter.

We can’t wait to read (or watch!) your story. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of animals!
