When 4-year-old Roman McConn's compassion sparked a mission to save dogs in need, his family launched Project Freedom Ride to rescue thousands of pups. Now, they offer second chances and happy homes

Kid finds forever OF LOVE homes for 5,000 pups

Just before his 4th birthday, Roman McConn went to PetSmart with his mother. He noticed many crates filled with dogs, who were visiting from an animal shelter for an adoption event.

“Why are there so many dogs in crates here, Mommy?” the little animal lover asked his mom, Jennifer McConn.

“Honey, those dogs are here looking for families to adopt them because they don’t have homes,” she told her son.

Why don’t all doggies have homes? Roman thought as his little heart broke.

That year, for his fifth birthday, Roman decided to use his special day to raise money and awareness for the cause that had touched his heart. He requested that friends and family give him money so he could donate it to a shelter.

What a sweet, kind son, Jennifer thought, overflowing with excitement. I wonder if we can do even more.

imageIn 2015, when the family lived in San Angelo, Texas, they started by taking pictures and videos of shelter dogs and promoting the canines on social media. Their efforts immediately helped many dogs find happy homes.
