Maine Lab Rescue Adoption Event

This past Saturday I spent the day at our trusted retail partner Paws Applause in Scarborough, ME. The objective of my presence was to connect with as many pet owners as possible to tell them about RAWZ and why it’s The Next Best Thing To Feeding Raw! Fortunately for me, Paws Applause was hosting a Maine Lab Rescue Adoption Event that same day which attracted quite a crowd.

Maine Lab Rescue is an all-breed dog and cat rescue, with a focus on Labs and Lab mixes. Animals are rescued from high kill shelters or other undesirable circumstances in the south. Maine Lab Rescue has many adoptable pets. Due to the nature of their work, I expected the folks from Maine Lab Rescue to be a pleasure to share the day with as was the case. It was exciting to see the beginning of the powerful human-pet bond between quite a few matches.

Maine Lab Rescue had quite a few lab puppies that really stole the show! As excited as I always am to talk about our great products and the RAWZ Fund’s 100% pledge, I was quickly aware that I was playing second fiddle to the pups. If anything, it was a good reminder of why we’re doing what we’re doing; to further the meaningful impact pets have on people’s lives.

A third-generation RAWZ family member, Jim spreads the word of optimal pet nutrition through in-store product demos and regular articles for the RAWZ blog. After sustaining a traumatic brain injury in 2006, Jim began participating in the writing program at the Krempels Center in Portsmouth, NH. Writing was a way to process and heal from his injury — but Jim realized he could also use this skill to spread awareness of the RAWZ brand and mission. Jim covers a range of pet health issues for the company blog, as well as more personal stories that connect to the causes RAWZ supports. His favorite thing to write about? People’s strong bonds with their pets.

Outside of his RAWZ duties, Jim is an avid golfer, a traveling speaker for the Krempels Center and an injury prevention awareness advocate. In 2013 Jim published his memoir, “More Than a Speed Bump” documenting his personal experience with traumatic brain injury and his journey to recovery. He’s also a proud pet parent to his black lab Clooney, who he credits with keeping him active.
