It’s no secret in Supernatural fandom that Jared Padalecki, the hot young actor who plays Sam Winchester in the hit CW Network series, is an animal lover, especially dogs. I don’t think there is a fan out there who hasn’t seen photos of Jared Padalecki with his beloved dogs, Sadie and Harley, two rescued pups who are near and dear to his heart.
These days, Jared Padalecki has taken another dog into his heart in a different way. Her name is Mika and she is one of the special rescued dogs at a Los Angeles based animal rescue organization known as ‘A Dog’s Life Rescue’. Mika was found in an alley at just two weeks of age by a young man walking home from school. The boy’s mom contacted A Dog’s Life Rescue for help because Mika is a special needs puppy. Mika is paralyzed from the waist down. Mika has no idea she is different from other dogs. She gets around on her own and is so full of life and love. She is absolutely inspiring.
It is this inspiring story of Mika that has lead Padalecki to lend his name and endorsement to the organization. To learn more about Mika and her story that touched Jared Padalecki’s heart go here.
A Dog’s Life Rescue is a non-profit rescue organization in Los Angeles, California. After the disband of Connect-A-Pet Rescue in early 2005 partners Julia Pennington, Keely Quinn, and Allison Lange joined together to form A Dog’s Life Rescue. Our mission is to save the lives of abandoned, abused, or neglected dogs and other animals, by providing shelter, care, and medical attention to homeless animals through adoption, adoption events, and community outreach. Further, to promote animal welfare and the importance of spaying and neutering.
Supernatural fans can help Jared Padalecki support ‘A Dog’s Life Rescue’ by making donations directly to the site organizers whom he has put his full support and endorsement behind to help raise money for the many abandoned and special animals like Mika who are in need of caring people like Jared Padalecki to help them have better lives.

This was put together in conjunction with Jared and A Dog’s Life Rescue and we are hoping all Supernatural and Jared fans will consider donating a few bucks. Every dollar counts.
Thanks,
Lindsay Warren
We also have a cool project that is running along side of the donations to give to the guys to show all the people that donated. It should be a lot of fun!
