Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy has once again shown his philanthropic side by making a generous donation to support animal rescue efforts. After learning about Miss Peaches—a pit bull saved from a difficult past and given a second chance—Portnoy stepped in with a heartfelt contribution.
Miss Peaches was taken in by Angels Among Us Pet Rescue, a Georgia-based nonprofit dedicated to helping animals in crisis. She had endured severe mistreatment and faced an uncertain future until the organization stepped in. After receiving medical care and being placed in a nurturing foster home, Miss Peaches eventually found her forever family. Her story, filled with resilience and hope, quickly spread online—and caught Portnoy’s attention.
What began as an emotional response to one dog’s transformation led to a powerful pledge. Touched by Miss Peaches’ journey, Portnoy promised to match donations made to the shelter, ultimately contributing $277,000 of his own. The funds will allow Angels Among Us to expand their impact—covering vet care, food, shelter, and emergency rescues for countless animals in need.
In a statement, Portnoy said he was inspired by the dedication of the rescuers and the outpouring of support from the community. His donation not only honors Miss Peaches’ second chance but also highlights the broader importance of rescue work.
This isn’t the first time Portnoy has shown generosity—he previously supported small businesses during the pandemic—but his latest act reinforces that meaningful change often starts with compassion.
Thanks to Miss Peaches and Portnoy’s unexpected involvement, Angels Among Us Pet Rescue is now better equipped to continue saving lives—one animal at a time.
