In communities across the nation, we see recurring issues that prevent willing pet adopters from adopting, or pet parents from keeping their animals in their homes.
Caring for a pet can be expensive—and for some families, cost-prohibitive. Routine needs like vaccinations and licenses require money, and age or medical issues can add procedures such as spay/neuter surgery, x-rays, blood tests, or regular check-ups. When these bills pile up, people may feel they have no option but to surrender their animal to a shelter.
Excessive barking, pawing, jumping, high energy, or destructive behavior can be challenging. Most issues are manageable, but many pet parents don’t know where to find reliable training or guidance. Limited awareness and access to behavior resources too often lead to relinquishment—and pets lose otherwise loving homes.
Many rentals and communities restrict pets—by size, species, or breed (e.g., pit bulls, Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers). When families move into restrictive housing, they may face a heartbreaking choice to give up their pets. Those already living under restrictions are limited in the animals they can adopt, which increases pressure on local shelters.
We believe the safest place for an animal is at home. That’s why we operate safety-net programs that offer alternatives for pet parents who need resources or services and might otherwise be forced to rehome their companion.
Our focus areas include pet food banks, help with veterinary bills and subsidized services, temporary housing for animals, spay/neuter access, and more.
Every donation goes directly to rescuing animals, providing medical care, shelter, and food. With your help, we can give them hope and a future.
