One cold January day in 2021, Jeff Callaway, an animal rescue Facilities Director in Louisville, Kentucky, was heading home from work when he received a call that a dog had been dumped in the parking lot of a local animal rescue. When Jeff saw Ethan, he looked terribly abused, filthy, and likely dead. But Ethan had other plans. Laying there on the vet table, he somehow managed to take a breath, a breath that changed everything. Ethan received emergency care, everyone in the room doing whatever they could to save him. And they did. They performed a miracle! Jeff knew Ethan belonged with him.
Now Jeff takes Ethan everywhere he goes, even to work every day, and has made it his mission to be Ethan's voice, advocate, and his protector. Ethan's social media platform addresses animal cruelty issues. Jeff and Ethan make appearances throughout the state to advocate for many important causes that affect animals and humans. Because of their incredible efforts together they have received many awards and recognition, while spreading kindness and love to make the world better.
KRS 525.135 on Ethan’s collar refers to the House Bill 258 (Ethan’s Law), which increases the punishment for intentional torture of a cat or dog and changes it from a first offense misdemeanor to a first offense Class D Felony. Ethan’s Law also defines torture more thoroughly and includes the restraint of the cat or dog. This was a major victory for cats and dogs in Kentucky.
