Pink recruits Minnesota rescue dog for her concert tour, will help him find "forever home"
MINNEAPOLIS – Pop superstar Pink has one more Twin Cities concert Friday evening, but in her downtime between shows, she's made an extra special friend from Minnesota, one who she says will accompany her throughout the rest of her tour.
The Bond Between, formerly Secondhand Hounds, posted a photo on Facebook Thursday, saying "P!NK reached out to us while she's in town for her St. Paul show to foster our sweet boy, Graham Cracker!"
The Minnetonka animal rescue says they've been "blowing up" since that time
"They said 'Pink is a huge animal lover and she's looking to help an animal on their journey to forever,'" said Maggie Schmitz, marketing director for The Bond Between.
So "so what" if you can't adopt. The 13-week pup old pup sends a message about fostering, which the artist plans to do.
"At the end of the tour, we're partnering with her to accept adoption applications for Graham," said Schmitz.
Susan Stinson was at the concert when her world's collided as she coincidentally volunteers at The Bond Between.
"I screamed! Never expected it in a million years," said Stinson. "It's huge. Just to have someone of Pink's caliber to advocate for rescue dogs and fostering."
And you can do it too.
"If you just want to help an animal along their journey like Pink did, you can say yes to fostering and bring them into your home and help them get out of a shelter and find their forever home" said Schmitz.
So if you're looking to "raise your glass" tonight, fans and advocates would probably say you should, to Pink.
"I'd probably give her a massive hug," said Stinson about if she was able to meet with Pink. "I'd probably have no words. It's just too exciting."
At Thursday night's show, Pink did say that, although her plan is to just foster Graham Cracker, there is a chance that the artist might keep the little lab.
