What Does Burt Ward Do For A Living? Beyond Robin

You might know Burt Ward as Robin, the Boy Wonder, from the classic Batman TV series. But did you know that he’s also a dedicated animal advocate?

These days, Ward spends his time saving lives, not fighting crime in Gotham City. In 1994, he and his wife Tracy founded Gentle Giants Rescue and Adoptions, a nonprofit organization devoted to finding forever homes for dogs. They’ve successfully placed over 15,500 dogs in loving homes and always have about 50 dogs at their home ready for adoption.

The Wards are incredibly passionate about rescuing and rehoming dogs. They understand the unique challenges that large breed dogs face, especially when it comes to finding homes. Many people are hesitant to adopt a large breed because of misconceptions about their size and energy levels. Gentle Giants works to dispel these myths and show that big dogs can make wonderful family companions.

The organization provides a variety of services to help dogs find their forever homes. They offer adoption events, foster programs, and even a spay and neuter program. They also work with local shelters to find homes for dogs in need. The Wards are incredibly dedicated to their mission, and their work has made a real difference in the lives of countless dogs. They truly live by their motto: “Big dogs, big hearts, big love.”
