BREAKING: Nebraska standout Dasan McCullough stuns fans with a major reveal; he’s pledging $25 million to create a haven for stray dogs, aiming to provide care, love, and homes for thousands of abandoned puppies.

In a heartfelt and unexpected announcement, Nebraska standout linebacker Dasan McCullough has pledged a staggering $25 million to establish a sanctuary for stray dogs across the Midwest. Known for his tenacity on the football field, McCullough is now channeling that same passion into animal welfare, aiming to give thousands of abandoned puppies a second chance at life.

The facility, which will be called McCullough’s Haven, is set to be one of the largest and most advanced dog sanctuaries in the country. According to McCullough, the haven will provide medical care, nourishment, shelter, and, most importantly, love to stray and neglected dogs. “These animals deserve a safe place,” McCullough said in a press statement. “They’ve been forgotten, but I won’t forget them.”

McCullough’s inspiration for the project reportedly comes from a deeply personal place. During his childhood, his family adopted a stray pit bull that became a beloved part of their lives. “That dog saved me more than I saved him,” McCullough said. “Now it’s my turn to give back on a bigger scale.”

The sanctuary will be built just outside Lincoln, Nebraska, with plans to expand to other states in the region over the next five years. It will include veterinary facilities, training programs, play areas, and adoption centers. McCullough is also collaborating with local shelters and rescue organizations to create a network that streamlines care and rehoming efforts for stray dogs.

Fans and animal lovers across the nation have flooded social media with praise for the star athlete. “This is bigger than football,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Dasan McCullough is a hero on and off the field.” Many are calling on other high-profile athletes to follow McCullough’s example and use their platforms for charitable causes.
