NFL Star Braylon Edwards Promotes Pets for Life Program (video)

NFL star Braylon Edwards may play an offensive position on the football field, but when it comes to the well-being of man’s best friend the wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers takes a defensive stance.

A proud pet parent to a Rottweiler named Louis, Braylon Edwards has teamed up with The Humane Society of the United States to promote the Pets for Life Program, which offers free services such as pet vaccination, spay/neuter and training. Operating in five major U.S. cities (Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City and Philadelphia), the program is built on community outreach and education in animal welfare, helping to elevate the human/animal bond across socio-economic borders.

“Growing up I wasn’t the ‘most normal’ kid, and that was hard sometimes. But I could always retreat to my room for a while with my dog and pretty soon I’d feel better about everything.” the sports hero confided.   Sharing screen time with his pal Louis, it’s easy to see that compassion for canines is still a major part of the athlete’s life. “I love my dog and I’ll do anything to extend our friendship,” the sports star exclaims in a PSA as he explains that neutering can help to prolong the life of a beloved barking buddy.

The video, which will be shown at community events, will also be available for animal welfare organizations and animal service provides in soon-to-be released Pets for life training toolkits.
