Not many adults, let alone a 7-year-old, can claim to have rescued over 1,300 dogs. But Roman McConn can. The young boy has helped rescue dogs from high-kill shelters, finding them homes in the Pacific Northwest and locally.
His mom, Jennifer, says that Roman has a unique combination of empathy and drive. It’s that energy and spirit that has caught the attention of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and Ellen Degeneres.
Roman’s rescue work includes spotlighting dogs he would like to see adopted in heartwarming videos and transporting dogs through Project Freedom Ride, which helps transport dogs from overcrowded shelters in Georgia and Texas to ones in Washington, Idaho and others, where they find homes.

It begins with Roman visiting shelters and picking out a dog wants to highlight. His mom Jennifer then films him. He “fights for the underdog” his mom says. She posts Roman’s videos to their Facebook page.
