VERIFIED REAL by 2 Traveling Dogs | THIS IS…ME
This is a real dog. A real photo. A real story. Not an Al-generated dog or rescue story. Our new “This Is…Me” verification project exists because real rescue dogs deserve to be seen, believed and rescued. Every dog we verify has a real life behind the picture-and that life matters.
THIS IS…Apollo 🐾
This is me…Apollo. You may think I’ve given up hope because I’ve been at the shelter for so long. But even when you are struggling in life, there is always one thing you have. Hope. I hold on to that but one day I would like you to hold on to me. If you’ve been waiting for someone to notice you, I get that. Let’s do some cool things together that will make the world notice! We can do it! Come meet me in this Mississippi place!
This handsome boy has been waiting far too long for someone to notice him. According to his current listing with the Natchez-Adams County Humane Society, he is available for adoption.

This Is…Me — Seen. Believed. Rescued.
ARE YOU A SHELTER OR RESCUE?
We want to hear from you. Shelters and rescue organizations can submit a real animal who needs more eyes on them for This Is…Me at rachael@2travelingdogs.com with the subject line THIS IS ME: [ANIMAL’S NAME]. Please include the animal’s name, photos or original post, location, shelter or rescue name, current adoption/contact information and, most importantly, something about who that animal really is beyond what is written on the kennel card. Tell us what makes them funny, special, ridiculous, loving or completely unforgettable. There is no charge to shelters or rescues to submit an animal. We’ll do our best to verify the information and help tell their story to our audience.
This is exactly why we created This Is…Me — Seen. Believed. Rescued. Somewhere in a shelter today is a real dog waiting for a real person to notice them. At a time when AI-generated animals, stolen photographs and recycled rescue stories can make it difficult to know what is real online, we want to help real shelter animals be seen, believed and given the chance to go home.
Every This Is…Me story takes time to research, verify, write and share. You can help us keep doing that by sponsoring a rescue dog for $35. You can choose the state, and your name, your dog’s name, your family or an In Memory Of name can be included with the dog’s story as the person who made it possible.
