Danny and Ron’s Rescue has saved and adopted nearly 15,000 dogs from their home shelter, run by the owners who are also horse trainers. The documentary “Life in the Doghouse” showcases their dedication to rescuing dogs from various difficult situations, with the founders sharing their home with the animals.

The film delves into the personal lives of Danny and Ron, highlighting their love for each other and the sacrifices they have made to run the rescue. The documentary also addresses important issues such as spaying and neutering to reduce the population of unwanted dogs. The founders acknowledge that legislative change in this area is unlikely, but they will continue their work as long as they can.

The message from Ron Danta, based on his years of rescuing dogs, is that dogs do not judge each other based on superficial characteristics, and he encourages everyone to “be kind.” The documentary and Q&A session at Festival of the Arts Boca provided a heartwarming and inspiring look at the work of Danny and Ron’s Rescue.
