Teen Gives Booties to Homeless Doggies
Jordan Sucato is a sixteen-year-old high school student with her own non-profit organization. She has raised over ten thousand dollars (of her twenty-thousand-dollar goal) to provide booties for dogs who share their lives with homeless folks. She lives in Phoenix, Arizona, where summer temperatures can go to 120 degrees, making the pavement 140 degrees. Many dogs who share their lives with homeless families will walk several miles a day in the hot sun. Jordan loves all animals, and her life has found a total sense of purpose with her mission to provide booties for dogs who are living on the streets with their people. The stories of love and joy she tells will delight and inspire you. She tells students her age, “Don’t let anything stop you from your dream of helping animals.”

BIO:
Laws for Paws is the outcome of my youthful dream turned into a reality. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to have founded and actively run this non-profit organization. I grew up volunteering, fostering, and owning various animals throughout my childhood. My mom and I have devoted ourselves to bettering the lives of many species. I grew up in a household where we never owned less than two dogs at a time, and they were not considered 'pets' but rather 'siblings.' This type of love has applied to every animal we have owned. I cannot wait to make a difference with this incredible organization.
Laws for Paws LLC is a student-run non-profit organization. Our mission is to bring awareness to the malpractice and mistreatment of animals nationwide. Harmful practices, such as animal testing, strip away animals’ natural right to live. From dogs to cats, every animal has a right to live and be cared for. We choose to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.
