By bringing together the inspiring stories of dogs, with brands that believe in our mission, "Dog's Day Out" is able to reach an audience in the millions every episode, Rocky said.
"When sponsors iHeartDogs and Michelson Found Animals joined forces with me I knew their rescue pet loving community would magnify Dog's Day Out. Together we will be able to educate on the importance of things like adopting, fostering and microchipping through heartfelt storytelling," Kanaka said.Each partnership will be unique and flexible in order to best tailor the sponsor's message for the potential audience of over 1 million dog owners and enthusiasts, Kanaka said.
