His perseverance to find a forever home is the stuff of legends.
The shelter calls it the 2024 Critter OlymPETs and just like the human Olympians, the pets will be competing in events such as swimming, gymnastics, soccer, climbing and sailingIt’s not the first time the shelter has held OlymPET games alongside the summer Olympics.
This unique, private non-profit organization in San Diego County has been strengthening the bond between humans and animals for over 50 years.
