Why David Backes needs to Score 25 Goals

David and Kelly Backes have been highly invested in animal rescue and pet adoption for quite some time. Many remember when the two rescued dogs from the streets of Sochi during the 2014 winter Olympics.

David and Kelly also founded Athletes for Animals, a united team of professional athletes with a shared passion for rescuing and protecting the welfare of homeless pets. They’ve also partnered with Five Acres Animal Shelter, a no-kill shelter in St. Louis.

Today, David tweeted his support for the Helen Woodward Animal Center.

Today and everyday, we have a choice.
