Scott Poore: Trading Corporate Life for Animal Rescue on 'My Perfect Day'

In an episode filled with joy, gratitude, and life-changing surprises, Meaghan Murphy, the editor-in-chief of Women's Day Magazine, takes us on an unforgettable journey to honor a truly selfless individual.
A Life Devoted to Rescue
Scott Poore, once a high-flying corporate executive, traded his lucrative career to dedicate his life to rescuing homeless animals and finding them forever homes. Poore’s journey began when he realized his life needed more than just material success. Motivated by a deeper purpose, he left corporate America and started volunteering at animal shelters, falling in love with the mission of rescuing long-term shelter pets, many of whom had been homeless for over six months.
Making an Impact
Poore’s impact over the past decade has been profound: raising 1.5 million dollars for local shelters, helping over a thousand long-term shelter pets, and expanding his efforts beyond Kansas City. He also started Mission Driven Goods, a company of pet-themed apparel that helps long-term shelter pets find homes.
