HI!!! I’m Rad 🐾💥
I’m a one-year-old shepherd mix with bouncy legs, a wiggly tail, and a very serious love for playtime.

Not long ago, I was in an overcrowded shelter in Kentucky that ran out of space. That meant dogs like me were at risk of euthanasia, just because there wasn’t room. 😔

But the amazing humans at West Suburban Humane Society stepped in and saved my life. Now I get to run around, play with dog friends, soak up human love, and be my goofy, high-energy self. 🐕

There are still lots of dogs like me waiting for a chance, and you can help!

❤️ Now through the end of the year, every donation is MATCHED dollar-for-dollar up to $20,000 by anonymous donors! ❤️

That means double the impact, double the hope, and double the tail wags.

If you can give, please do. You’ll be helping save lives like mine, and trust me, we’re worth it.

Zoomies forever,
Rad 🐶✨
