Dartmouth's Brian Harrington has long been known as the man behind the popular NFL website ProFootballCentral.com, but his latest venture is doggone special.

Brian is dedicated to starting a new no-kill shelter in New Bedford called Odie's Place, named in honor of his beloved dog who passed away this past winter. As Brian pointed out, there are millions of dogs that end up in shelters each year, and often times they end up euthanized because there is no room for them. Yet all these dogs need is an opportunity to be rescued, and as he points out, "they rescue you."

Brian is also running a crowdfunding campaign to help raise money to build the shelter, and also has a number of events planned to help increase funds as well.
