About the Founder

My name is Bryanna Pasternak, and I have a dream to clear the shelters. I was inspired to create Project Save 2 Lives when I first entered a shelter to adopt my dog, Baby.  . Going to a shelter was an eye-opening experience for me as a young child. I had never known how many animals needed homes, and how much help shelters need.  Through PS2L I've demonstrated leadership throughout my community, by writing to the New Jersey assembly about pet ownership laws, volunteering in my community, and creating animal adoption awareness activities appropriate for young children which I have brought to schools and to daycares- Learn More about Rescue U- my school and Daycare program. I’d like to expand on the number of people I have a chance to educate.  If kids grow up knowing how important it is to adopt, and not shop, my generation can eliminate the problem of pet overpopulation.
