We wish we could help every pet and every family — but our mission is to be a community resource provider to animal rescues, shelters & advocacy groups, not individual pets.

That means we can’t cover personal vet or surgery bills, give food or supplies directly to individuals, or rehome animals. Your local shelter or rescue may be able to help — and many of them get their resources from us.
