9 Year-Old Passes On Gifts For His Birthday, Saves Dogs Instead
July 3, 2014
Most 9 year-old kids would love a pile of gifts on their birthday, but Ethan Katz is not like most kids.

Instead of presents for his birthday, he wanted to save dogs from kill shelters.
To raise funds, Ethan and his father designed t-shirts to sell on Booster. They created them for City Dogs Rescue, a dog rescue organization based out of Washington, D.C.

On Ethan's Booster page for City Dogs Rescue, he wrote:
"My name is Ethan Katz and I am eight years old. I love dogs. I have two dogs that are very sweet. My birthday is on May 29th. This year for my birthday I want to raise money for my favorite rescue organization - City Dogs Rescue. We rescued my dog Brooklyn from City Dogs in November. I made this shirt to sell for City Dogs."
Already owning a rescued dog himself, Ethan has been able to rescue three more with his fundraising efforts!

Big hearts do great things. Ethan, you are an amazing little man.
