Mutual Rescue is an initiative that aims to change the way people see animal welfare. By sharing stories about connecting a person with an animal, Mutual Rescue hopes to demonstrate that when you adopt from your local animal shelter, you’re not just enhancing an animal’s life—you’re also transforming a person’s life as well. The stories shared by everyday people through the Mutual Rescue movies and book are testaments to the incredible impact that an animal and a person have on each other, and that “rescuing” isn’t in just one direction.
Mutual Rescue was created by Humane Society Silicon Valley to elevate the conversation from “people OR animals” to “people AND animals.” With the success of Eric & Peety and the release of Mutual Rescue: How Adopting How Adopting A Homeless Animal Can Save You, Too, a new national movement is now underway.
