Dogs help recruit new organ donors at ‘Dogtoberfest’ in Homestead

HOMESTEAD, Pa. — A few dogs helped an organization focused on finding organ donors during “Dogtoberfest” at the Waterfront in Homestead.

Dogtoberfest is one of the biggest adoption events in Pittsburgh.

One of the most visible vendors was the Center for Organ Recovery and Education (CORE).

CORE tried to remind visitors to register as organ donors.

Some of the dogs at the event wore bandanas with QR codes on them that linked to a website to help people register to become organ donors.

CORE said one person can save up to eight lives if they choose to be an organ donor.
