The Pack’s Impact

Each month, 10% of all Wild Pack Print Club subscriptions is donated to an animal rescue or advocacy group. I’ve pledged that the Print Club will always donate at least $25 total. If subscriber contributions don’t reach that amount, I personally cover the difference — and as our pack grows, donations will quickly exceed that minimum. Scroll below to see our impact. We’re starting small, but soon we’ll be mighty!

October 2025 Donation Recipient — Neuse River Golden Retriever Rescue — $50 Donated

For the very first Wild Pack Print Club donation, I chose a rescue that has profoundly touched my life: Neuse River Golden Retriever Rescue (NRGRR). I’ve been lucky to adopt two dogs through NRGRR, and today I want to share the story of one of them—Kasey.

Kasey spent her early years in a backyard breeding program, confined to a cage in a garage. When NRGRR finally convinced the breeder to surrender her, she weighed only 38 pounds, her teeth worn down to the gumline from biting the bars of her cage. She was filthy, matted, and in heartbreaking condition. NRGRR stepped in, shaved her down, and began the long process of bringing her back to health. She spent several months with a foster parent—the same one who had fostered my first NRGRR dog—before coming home with me.

Thanks to their care, Kasey was still a little thin but already thriving when I adopted her. Despite everything she endured, she was amazingly resilient. Kasey never seemed weighed down by her past. Instead, she was playful, joyful, and endlessly loving.

One of my favorite memories is how she wagged her tail the entire time she ate her meals. For a dog who had once been starved, every bite was a celebration.

In her later years, Kasey developed melanoma and canine cognitive disorder. I promised she would never suffer again, and with the help of my longtime vet, I kept her comfortable for as long as possible. When the time came, she passed gently and peacefully.

Kasey enriched my life beyond measure. I hope everyone is fortunate enough to experience the love of a dog like her.
