“This brings me so much hope for the future for rescues," Nakrin said in a news release. "It just shows that when given the right opportunities and care, rescues can hang with the best. They absolutely deserve a second chance."

Nakrin operates alongside King a Milton farm, Joyous Acres, where the two adopt animals and care for them.
