Welcome to the Minterland and the Minterverse!
What is the Minterverse?
It all began on Halloween, 2019 when a kind soul named Shannon Minter managed to find an abandoned puppy and an abandoned kitten – separately, on the same day!
Shannon shared this miracle on Twitter, where it promptly went viral. Shannon gained many new followers as a result, which came in handy, because apparently Shannon lives over a portal that leads directly to the Cat and Dog Distribution Systems. In the years since he rescued Squeaky the Kitten and Albert the Puppy he’s rescued many, many more kitties and pups.
Each new rescue tugged at more and more heartstrings and before long, a community was born. A community that cares deeply about companion animals and each other. A community where we all come together to help.
No greater event shows the power of community than when Shannon’s home was struck by a tornado in 2022. No lives were lost and nobody was hurt, including the furbabies. But the house was destroyed.
The Minterverse came together and helped raise enough money to help Shannon, his wife Robin, and all their pets to become whole again.
And, now we gather once more with a very big goal in mind – to create a formal animal sanctuary, a place where lost or abandoned animals can find safe harbor.
We call it Minterland
One response to “Welcome to the Minterverse!”
Thank you for this update. I left Twitter a few months ago, and I miss the Minters so much.
