Today on FrankieSense and more, we met 4 folks who are dedicated to social change, animal shelter reform and ENDING Animal Cruelty.

Gordon Shell, a former MMA fighter, literally put his life on the line to put a STOP to dog fighting and help- save these dogs. His last fight earned him 15,000 that went towards saving animals. Gordon recently spent 5 days in jail, received a $1000 dollar fine and ended up with 23,000 in legal bills for saving a dog by taking it away from it’s home. As you can tell, Gordon is dedicated to the dogs and even co-founded a HOTLINE for folks to call if they know about Dog fighting in their area. His latest project is to start a shelter Rehab program where he helps rebuild a dog shelter to make it more habitable for the animals. www.gordonshell.com
