Danny Robertshaw and Ron Danta are horse trainers and animal lovers
who began helping dogs way before 2005. But when Hurricane Katrina
hit, their rescue began in earnest as they saved over six hundred
dogs from that national disaster. For their work during Katrina,
they were 2008 ASPCA Honorees of the Year. Since then, Danny and
Ron have used their personal home for Danny & Ron’s Rescue, formed
as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) that has saved over twelve thousand dogs,
all placed in loving homes. Danny, Ron, and their rescue were the
subjects of the award-winning documentary Life in the Doghouse.
They have also been featured on the Today show, CBS Evening News,
the Hallmark Channel, and Pickler & Ben, as well as several other
TV shows. Their mission is a lifetime promise of love and care to
every dog they take in. Visit them @DannyRonsRescue and
