Lowell — At Pridestar Trinity EMS, saving lives is part of the mission, but their team has taken that commitment beyond the workplace.

In a heartwarming display of compassion, nine Pridestar employees have adopted ten rescue puppies through the agency Adopt A Stray, giving these animals loving, forever homes.

It all started with one employee adopting a puppy after her dog, Sadie (who visited Pridestar’s base frequently), passed away a few months back. The puppy fever followed.

Among the adoptions, four puppies came from one litter, three more from another, and the remaining three were from separate litters—each finding a new family within the emergency medical services team.

The outpouring of support and love reflects Pridestar’s culture of care, not just for people, but for all living things.

“We’re proud of the dedication our employees show every day, whether it’s in their work or in their personal lives,” said COO Bryan Shanley. “Seeing so many of our team members open their hearts and homes to these rescue puppies is truly inspiring.”

Through this partnership with Adopt A Stray, Pridestar Trinity EMS continues to make a difference. Proving that saving lives—human or animal—comes in many forms.
