A life-long animal activist has managed to turn a heartwarming adoption story about a fragile, 3-week-old puppy from the Big Apple into an incredible way to teach children about empathy and the benefits of owning a shelter dog.
Laurie Brown-Nagin is a passionate pooch lover who offers a series of collectible stuffed dog gift sets that are aimed to educate and enlighten youngsters about the benefits of adopting a four-legged best friend.
The marketing researcher and mother of two founded Operation ResCUTE in 2014 and she’s been doing loads to help countless numbers of pups in precarious situations ever since.
Based on the real-life story of Jingles — a puppy Nagin found battered and alone in New York City — the collectible gift set comes with an illustrated kids book, stuffed animal of the dog and an Operation ResCUTE Club Membership Sticker.
Each gift set costs $29 and Operation ResCUTE gives 100 percent of the profits to animal shelters in support of their adoption efforts.
