Cameron Rupp was a sophomore in college when he logged onto the SPCA’s website and picked out the dog he wanted to adopt.
“I said I want that dog. I went in and took her home that day,” Rupp said. “She’s nine years old now. It took her a while for my mom to get used to her. My mom was not such a huge dog person and the dog ended up being put on her when I went away all the time. Sure enough, that dog is everyone’s at home. They all love her.”
The Phillies catcher will return the favor to the SPCA on Thursday night when he hosts Ruppapalooza at Morgan’s Pier.
