At just six years old, Ethan Branscum had a big dream—to make rescue pets the official symbolic pet of Kentucky. With the unwavering support of his mom, Miche, he is making it happen! But he's not stopping there. His next goal? Making rescue pets the national symbolic pet of the United States.
It almost happened, but then COVID-19 put the brakes on his progress. Fast forward to today—Ethan is now 12 years old, and he’s more determined than ever. He and his mom are on their sixth attempt, and this time, they truly believe they can make it happen.
But that’s just the beginning of Ethan’s incredible journey.
This young advocate has:
🐾 A city ordinance named after him
📚 A growing series of books about animals
🏡 His own rescue organization, Ethan’s Rescue Pet
Project
💡 A passion for helping animals that has already changed countless
lives
Ethan and Miche may just seem like a mom and her son, but trust me—you’ll be blown away when you hear their story. Their dedication, persistence, and love for rescue animals are nothing short of inspiring.
I can’t wait for you to meet them in this episode of Fur Real!
