A 50-state national animal rescue tour is partnering with the Gallup McKinley Humane Society at 1315B Hamilton Rd. Dec. 12 from 10 am-2 pm.
Kris Rotonda named the animal rescue tour Jordan's Way after his German Shepherd rescue dog Jordan, who spent most of her life in a shelter before her adoption.
Jordan's Way visits two states every month, marking out stops with area animal shelters to offer challenges and bring new meaning to the saying "adopt, don't shop."
The tour has already visited 43 states, raising over $2.5 million since it was established in January.
Jordan's Way has already been featured on the Hallmark Channel and the Dodo. It also conducts four-hour live Facebook fundraisers featuring games, challenges, rescue animals, and volunteers.
Rotonda, who is a longtime bodybuilder, first started raising funds by performing physical challenges such as flipping a 250-pound tractor trailer tire for 13 miles. Then he spent 72 hours inside a dog crate at a Florida animal shelter.
"No animal should have to spend their life in a shelter, and I'm passionate to highlight and support the many organizations across our country who work relentlessly to ensure these pets find loving homes, despite their age, breed, or health issues," he said.
