C.A.R.E. - no-kill cage-free Sanctuary for abandoned cats & dogs in Southern California near Palmdale.   www.care4pets.org

- Our mission is to shelter and provide the cats and dogs who have come under our stewardship with a quality life via spacious living quarters, good food, veterinary care, love and gentle handling regardless of age or health or handicaps. We strive to carefully seek new loving homes for all cats and dogs, provide quality lifetime care for those who are not yet adopted, support individuals who have rescued homeless dogs or cats, educate the public and pet owners about spay/neuter, behavioral counseling, counseling on any issues that might arise and public outreach toward a more loving, responsible and permanent relationship with pets. Without sanctuaries such as C.A.R.E.’s, and the commitment and generous support of individuals and organizations, the “Save Them All” movement would only be a sweet dream.

Spetses Care For Animals is the first veterinary clinic established on the island of Spetses, providing services for stray cats.

The SCFA Veterinary Clinic was established approximately three years ago on the island of Spetses, where there was previously no veterinary clinic or resident veterinarians. Through unwavering dedication and a profound love for animals, we successfully brought both essential components to the island. Our daily efforts are focused on addressing the needs of the substantial stray cat population, estimated to exceed 6500 on the island. This involves performing spaying and neutering procedures, administering vaccinations, conducting deworming treatments, and meticulously recording and maintaining medical statistics related to their health and diseases.

The veterinary clinic, along with the municipality and generous supporters have sponsored the medical care of more that 300 stray animals. SCFA established feeding and housing stations, colloquially referred to as "cat hotels" and "cat restaurants," in each cat colony within the town of Spetses. To date, 900 stray cats have undergone spaying or neutering through these efforts. Additionally, SCFA strategically positioned 18 watering troughs across the island and in wooded areas to provide a vital water supply for wildlife, especially during the scorching summer months.

The SCFA Veterinary Clinic implemented a comprehensive two-year total-care program for carriage horses on the island. This initiative encompassed complimentary registration, microchipping, vaccinations, deworming, and prompt medical attention when required. Additionally, educational seminars were conducted for carriage drivers to enhance their knowledge and understanding. In a bid to prioritize the well-being of these horses, SCFA also installed watering stations at strategic stops, facilitating convenient access to water during their summer work periods.

At the SCFA Veterinary Clinic we warmly welcome school visits as part of our commitment to educating and fostering a compassionate understanding of animals. Our dedicated team ensures that children have the opportunity to explore our facility, gaining insights into the various services we provide for the welfare of animals on the island. Additionally, we take pride in our efforts to extend learning beyond the clinic's walls. Initiatives such as the creation of the first part of the educational fairy tale series, "The Adventures of Xout and Ust," and its distribution to kindergartens and Spetses Primary School, are part of our effort to cultivating a love for animals from an early age. Through engaging and informative experiences like walks with students from Spetses Elementary School, where they actively participate in feeding stray cats, we aim to instill a sense of responsibility and empathy towards our furry companions in the hearts of the younger generation.

Giving veterans an emotionally supportive best friend while saving shelter animals no one wants. National 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Our vision is an adopted pet in the home of every veteran who needs one. 

We give veterans a renewed sense of purpose by inspiring them to adopt those dogs and cats who are most overlooked at shelters, and share our philosophy of adopting pets for life.

Through our hardship and hero funds, we support veterans in our program experiencing temporary financial challenge or inability to pay for extraordinary pet medical care. In our experience, even modest investments help keep people and pets together, avoiding surrender back to the shelter or economic euthanasia.

We are proud to serve veterans from WWII to active duty, from all armed forces and at any stage of their careers. Animals saved through our program are dogs/cats who are adult, special needs, and chronically homeless, as well as larger breed dogs.

Pets for Patriots has programs in 41 states and the District of Columbia with a goal to be in every state by the end of 2025. You can give with confidence knowing that we hold a Four Star/100% Rating from Charity Navigator, the most recognized and prestigious nonprofit evaluator in the world.

Our mission is to ensure every companion animal has access to quality medical care, compassionate shelter, and a loving home.

The San Francisco SPCA offers care and protection to animals in need, and we believe all cats and dogs (and the people who love them) deserve access to high-quality veterinary care. As the largest animal shelter in the San Francisco Bay Area and the first cageless animal shelter established in the U.S., we are transforming the way pet guardians and their beloved furry family members access lifesaving resources. At the SF SPCA, we are ensuring that access to care means access for all.

Through our public hospital, shelter hospital, and offsite community medicine clinics, we are reaching beyond ordinary care models to provide new, innovative pathways to service. Our Shelter and Adoptions teams rescue homeless animal, provide care, and adoptions services. We partner with shelters in the Central Valley as well as San Francisco Animal Care & Control to transport thousands of animals to the SF SPCA for medical care, behavioral services, and adoption. We also provide training and support – including telemedicine and emergency medical triaging – for our Central Valley shelter partners, most of whom do not have a veterinarian on staff. At our Adoptions Center, we offer an open adoptions process, with a goal of connecting animals with adopters who love them and inspiring a lasting bond for all. 

Lack of access to care is the most significant animal welfare crisis affecting both owned and unowned pets in the United States. Each year in California alone, thousands of pets are unable to access veterinary care which leads to surrender, illness, and death.

The San Francisco SPCA is committed rescuing and finding loving forever homes for homeless animals in San Francisco, reducing the number of new animals entering the shelter system throughout California, and working to ensure accessible veterinary care for all owned and homeless animals in San Francisco and across California.

Mohawk Hudson Humane Society

Helping over 49,000 pets live better lives through veterinary care, adoption services, outreach programs, and a pet food pantry. 

One of saddest things is watching a pet owner walk out a shelter door in tears, leaving behind a scared and bewildered pet they love, but could not afford to keep. Second Chance is more than just a shelter, providing access to affordable veterinary care and a pet food pantry program to help keep people and pets together.  Since the shelter was founded 25 years ago, time and again owners coming to our shelter door to say goodbye to a beloved pet told us they could not afford to keep their pet. Some could not afford veterinary bills because their pet was ill, others had lost a job or a spouse and could no longer provide basic care and food.

Second Chance has 4 Community Veterinary Hospitals providing access to affordable veterinary care to underserved communities and bringing services directly to pets in the community through the Homebound to the Rescue program and local vaccine clinics. Our pet food pantry program distributes pet food to local food pantries so no pet goes hungry.

Promotes the use of the No Kill Equation to help shelters save every healthy, treatable homeless pet.

No Kill Colorado is an 501c3 organization working to improve the Animal Shelter system in Colorado. Thousands of pets are killed each year in Colorado because of the lack of life saving programs that can be implemented without additional cost, and possibly adding revenue to the current funds provided to municipal shelters.

Money doesn't save lives - people do.  But money makes it a heck of a lot easier to reach people.

Promoting adoption and fostering is a major program we campaign for throughout the year.  We successfully have helped organizations get hundreds of animals home from our Home for the Holdiays cmapign every year.

We put a bounty on pets  going to foster or a permanent home.  rganizations that particpate receive $50 from us for every pet 3 or more years old, or at any age with special needs.

We're dedicated to improving quality of life for cats & dogs through spay/neuter services, quality veterinary care, & advocacy! 💙

Heaven Can Wait Animal Society is Las Vegas’s leading animal welfare nonprofit organization focusing on eliminating the unnecessary euthanasia of dogs and cats. We focus on providing; high-quality, high-volume, affordable spay, neuter, and wellness services; high-impact adoption and foster programming; and community outreach and education. Since their founding in 2000, HCW has provided spay, neuter, and vaccination services to over 185,000 cats and dogs. We estimate these efforts have kept well over half a million animals off the streets and out of shelters and rescues.

Heaven Can Wait’s Spay and Neuter Clinic treats an average of 1,000 dogs and cats a month, providing pets and community cats affordable, lifesaving spays, neuters, and vaccines. We are able to maintain the highest safety standards, operate with experienced and passionate veterinary staff, and keep prices affordable thanks to generous donor support. HCW is one of the only organizations in Las Vegas helping to control pet overpopulation and keep animals in homes where they’re loved.

There are an estimated 200,000 free-roaming cats in the Las Vegas Valley. HCW’s Community Cat Clinic serves those cats who have no access to care and may never even receive any in their lifetime. With the goal of ending community cat suffering and over-population, we work with volunteers and organizations that trap these cats so they can receive spay, neuter, and vaccine services along with lifesaving veterinary care for the many illnesses and wounds they present. We are the city’s primary resources for these community cat services.

Heaven Can Wait’s Wellness Clinic is our most recent program. As our community’s need for affordable veterinary care grows, they work to fill that need by providing low-cost preventative care for pets. Here, pets are able to receive diagnostic, treatment, and outpatient procedures at a much lower cost. These efforts prevent illnesses that could incur incredible veterinary costs for families. With the goal of keeping pets happy and healthy with their families and out of shelters, HCW provides these services for families who may feel they have run out of options for medical care.

501c3 helping 12M+ stray dogs in MX, by teaching kids to love animals and educating the community to be responsible pet parents

Sanctuary Hostel and Animal Rescue is an innovative 501c3 nonprofit with a mission to reduce stray animals on the streets. We achieve our mission by combining an Animal Rescue with:
*Eco-Hostel, to raise awareness of the problem and financially support the nonprofit
*Community Garden, to have a shared space that can provide for the community
*Education Program, to provide free classes on animal communication, training, and sustainability

Our founder has purchased the plot of land in Rosarito for our pilot location, and we have just completed the architecture designs for our facility. Your donation will help us acquire permits and set the date for when we can break ground to build the shelter, hostel, and garden.

The Problem:
Roughly 70% of Mexico’s 18 million dogs are abandoned and become strays, making it the worst country for pet abandonment in Latin America. Animals are treated more like property than pets, and they are often mistreated whether living in a home or on the street. Most attempts to rescue animals often act only as a Band-Aid, not addressing the root of this problem. Additionally, many animal rescue operations close due to a lack of long-term ongoing donations, returning animals back onto the street.

Our Solution: 
Our innovative solution is to tackle the stray animal problem at the source. We will do this by:
1. Encouraging animal compassion in young kids and surrounding communities, to prevent animal abuse and shift the culture to see animals as beings deserving of our help and love
2, Training people to better communicate with animals for a happier co-existence, to prevent animal abandonment
3. Setting up an environmentally friendly hostel and community garden to help fund the rescue, provide positive exposure for animals and people, facilitate adoptions, and offer free educational classes.

"Where people help animals and animals help people."  Helen Woodward Animal Center's passionate belief that animals help people and people help animals through trust, unconditional love, and respect, creates a legacy of caring.  Sharing this philosophy with others, the Center inspires and teaches, locally and globally, the importance of the animal-human bond.

Helen Woodward Animal Center was founded as the San Dieguito Animal Care and Education Center in 1972 with its primary focus on pet adoption and humane education.  In 1986 the Center was renamed after its founder, Helen Woodward, and program offerings were expanded to include Pet Encounter Therapy, Therapeutic Riding, and AniMeals. These programs helped further our goal of serving as a place where “people help animals, and animals help people” by bringing people and animals together for the mutual benefit of both.  In 2017, the Center added Pets Without Walls to provide no-cost vet care to the pets of the homeless population in San Diego. Since then, we have added additional services including a top-rated boarding facility, a state-of-the-art equine hospital, an affordable small animal hospital for the public, and a designer resale store. 
Helen Woodward herself would be proud of the over 10,000 pets and more than 90,000 people these programs touch each year, and that the Center continues to teach and provide programming for all of San Diego County, across the nation, and globally the importance of the human-animal bond.

Feeding Pets of the Homeless® believes in the healing power of pets. 

Mission Statement
Feeding Pets of the Homeless® believes in the healing power of companion pets and of the human/animal bond, which is very important in the lives of many homeless. They find solace, protection and companionship through their pets. They care for their pets on limited resources so they themselves have less. Our task, nationwide, is to feed and provide basic emergency veterinary care to their pets and thus relieve the anguish and anxiety of the homeless who cannot provide for their pets.

History
Several years ago, our founder, Genevieve, and her husband visited New York City. They saw a homeless man with his beautiful healthy, mixed breed dog at his side. He wasn’t panhandling. She had always ignored the homeless but this time, something was different. She couldn’t get that dog out of her mind.

She tried to imagine what brought the man to be homeless. Was it drugs, alcoholism? That’s the conclusion most people make about the homeless. This man didn’t look like an addict, and she wondered why and how he got to where he was in life. And, what about his dog? It was obvious the dog was devoted to the man. He was not on a leash and could have run away at any time. She was confused about why anyone homeless, who could barely feed or take care of themselves, would even consider having a pet.

When she returned home, she researched the homeless with pets and came across the “National Coalition for the Homeless.” At the time, their estimates indicated that 3.5 million people in America were homeless and that between 5%-10% of homeless have dogs and/or cats. In some areas of the country, the rate is as high as 25%. Most people who experience homelessness are homeless for a short period and usually need help to find housing or a rent subsidy. Unfortunately for those with pets, it becomes more difficult, and many homeless are forced to choose between their pet and a roof over their head. Surprisingly, most choose to stay on the streets with their pets. Why? The answer became evident to Genevieve. Their pets are nonjudgmental; provide comfort and an emotional bond of loyalty. In some cases, they provide the homeless with protection and keep them warm.

Genevieve’s family has almost always had dogs and cats, which made her wonder, what would she do if faced with homelessness? Could she give up her pets? It felt equal to giving up her children. While they would possibly be better off emotionally, it would be a devastating decision to make because of the comfort and unconditional love they give.

It was one of those “ah-ha” moments when she realized that she could do something for those pets. And so began Feeding Pets of the Homeless®. 

Donors have told us over the years that they feel such compassion for the pets of the homeless but were afraid to approach due to safety concerns and welcomed the opportunity our organization give for a safe and easy way to help. 

That one day in New York changed Genevieve’s life. It created a passion she did not know she held that utilized her past education, life experiences, and careers to start this unique nonprofit. Each day, she looks forward to knowing that Feeding Pets of the Homeless® is providing pet food and veterinary care to the hundreds of thousands of pets that wander the streets with their owners. And she looks forward to each day knowing that we can assist the calls from the homeless or about to be homeless.

The homeless with pets are often desperate to find a shelter to go to that will allow their pets. They seek help to find an agency that will give them pet food. They are frantic to find emergency veterinary care for injuries or illnesses.

Next time you see a homeless person with a pet, think of Genevieve’s story. Please share it with your friends and consider donating to our organization. Such donations help pay for emergency care, wellness clinics, and pet crates for homeless shelters. Check to see if there is a pet food and supplies donation site in your community. If there isn’t, consider helping us to get one started.

Thank you for your interest and support,

Genevieve Frederick

Feeding Pets of the Homeless

My Dog Is My Home's mission is to increase access to shelter and housing for people experiencing homelessness with animals.

My Dog Is My Home is a national nonprofit dedicated to increasing access to shelter and housing for people experiencing homelessness with companion animals. By securing their ability to maintain their most important relationships and find adequate shelter, we ensure every family’s right to build a home.

We assist service providers like homeless shelters in expanding their programming to allow humans and their companion animals to remain together. My Dog Is My Home’s programs currently fall into three categories: storytelling, community building, and technical assistance.

STORYTELLING
Storytelling is at the foundation of our work. We believe that people who are impacted by the problem are necessarily close to the solution. My Dog Is My Home provides a platform for people with actual lived experience of homelessness and animal companionship to share in their own words how co-sheltering people and animals together contributes to ending homelessness. Through exhibitions, speaking events, and video or narrated images, we are able to educate members of the public, program administrators, and policymakers about preserving the human-animal bond in circumstances of homelessness.

COMMUNITY BUILDING
We believe in the mantra that we are “stronger together.” My Dog Is My Home holds space for members of the homeless services and animal welfare communities to come together to connect, learn from one another, and solve mutual problems. Most notably, our community building efforts have created two related but distinct stakeholder watering holes: 

1) Annual Co-Sheltering Conference
Since 2021, My Dog Is My Home’s annual conference has drawn 400-500 people together from across disciplines to hear from homeless shelter programs about co-
sheltering models in practice, latest research in homelessness and animal companionship, and relevant policy efforts across the US and globally.

2) Co-Sheltering Collaborative
The Co-Sheltering Collaborative is a peer-to-peer learning network with membership that
spans across animal welfare and homeless services. This Collaborative meets as a large group on a quarterly basis to exchange resources, troubleshoot, and hear presentations from members on the progress of their work. In between large group meetings, working groups meet to produce deliverables that work towards collectively developed goals. The Collaborative also provides a sustained community for attendees of the annual conference.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
My Dog Is My Home also works with homeless shelters that need more hands-on assistance with developing or implementing co-sheltering. We provide customized training, consultation on policies, and resource coordination to ensure a successful co-sheltering program.

Safe In Austin Rescue Ranch is a sanctuary that rescues animals from severe abuse or neglect.

Our animals provide healing and hope to trauma, at-risk, and/or special needs people, these are the animals who triumph and inspire world-wide.

Safe in Austin's story began with a Great Pyrenees appropriately named, "Angel". 

Our family had always loved animals, but it wasn't until a discounted service dog Angel joined our family, that we would see just how magically an animal could transform lives.

Safe in Austin provides a loving home to animals who suffer from abuse or neglect because animals deserve to experience unconditional love.

"It's ironic that I started out on theses very streets in the 80s and was apart of a documentary about homeless youth, now here I am 32 years later helping those living in homelessness on the very streets that I began on long ago.

Seattle Dogs started in 2014, helping one dog at a time, one paw  with one bag of dog food one paw at a time we handed out pet food. After working hard to have it all midway through our lives we spiraled down the windy road to nowhere fast and as the world we'd  built with unwavering love, dealing with hardships, forging our happily ever afters, having beautiful moments with our 3 young grankids, enjoying our dogs, it all came crashing down, were we really at rock bottom? With the reality of losing our home in our faces we began to navigate homelessness with our 4 dogs  

 we understood the obstacles, needs and necessities of these dogs and their humans. We had no idea when we started this that we would grow into who we are today. We look forward to learning and growing as we navigate our way thru the need of the animals and their humans

Diagnosed with stage 4 liver disease I am truly living that country song "live like you were dying" by Tim McGraw, while surrounded by love I battle my illness and push to keep Seattle Dogs going,we have to stay open, we must keep going, it's keeping me alive, with this I ask you to please donate! With folded hands, head bowed, a partners support, beautiful friends that push me forward while still loving me at my worst, my  as grandaughter now a woman of 20 she is strong, standing beside me with all of this + amazing donors like you giving Seattle Dogs air to keep us going we've got what it takes to continue to keep moving forward, working together to save lives,

Thank you ❤️‍🩹

With your support, in the coming year we’ll care for thousands of cats, dogs, puppies and kittens.

Woods Humane Society is a nonprofit organization which receives no tax funds, but is supported by donations, grants, bequests, fundraising events and fees for services. Woods is independent of San Luis Obispo County Animal Services, but works in close cooperation with them and other animal groups in the county for the welfare of all animals.

Woods now cares for over 3,000 cats and dogs each year at our facilities in San Luis Obispo and Atascadero until they can be united with loving forever families.  We accept surrendered pets from our local community members if they are no longer able to care for them, and transfer animals in from over crowded shelters both locally and from other areas of California. Woods is committed to finding loving homes for all healthy and treatable pets, no matter how long it takes.  With our behavior and veterinary resources, we are able to go the extra mile for animals in need.

As part of our commitment to work towards ending pet overpopulation, not only is every animal at Woods spayed or neutered, we also provide low-cost spay and neuter services for San Luis Obispo County Animal Services, many other local rescue organizations, and for owned animals in our county.  Our medical team has performed nearly 40,000 spay/neuter surgeries in the Woods-Cashin Surgery Center since its opening in 2007.  The Humane Education Program offers a wide range of activities for tots to teens and provides insight and enrichment for the next generation of animal advocates.  Our Behavior and Training Department provides expert care for dogs in our adoption program as well as dog obedience training classes for the public, designed to keep pets in their homes and out of shelters.  Financial support from donors and the dedication of our staff and hundreds of volunteers ensure the success of our work.

We assist the City of Miami Beach with controlling the Miami Beach homeless community cat population via TNVR, and adoption. 

SoBe Cats Spay & Neuter is a 100% volunteer 501c3 nonprofit that assists the City of Miami Beach with controlling the Miami Beach homeless community cat population via a three-pronged approach:




1. Adoption:  We want kitties to be placed in to a loving home when possible!  We spay/neuter and place friendly, adoptable community cats & kittens into our pawesome Adoption Program at The Kitty Campus so that we can find them a safe and loving home and get them off the streets.  To put the kitties up for adoption we must take them through a brief quarantine process where they are dewormed, vaccinated, given flea medication, fixed, microchipped, etc. 




1. Trap Neuter Vaccinate Return (TNVR):  We help facilitate TNVR for community cats remaining outside via connecting the need with our volunteer trappers.  We train and educate new trappers as to their free spay/neuter options, loan out traps, etc.  We hold periodic TNVR events at The Kitty Campus location in conjunction with Miami Dade Animal Service’s Mobile Animal Clinic.   







1. Registered Feeder Program:  We help our community cats “Live Outside with Love” via our City of Miami Beach backed Registered Feeder Program and assist in facilitating best practices. We count on the feeders to not only feed and provide fresh water to the cats, but to also make us aware of any cats that have not been spayed/neutered (noted by a snip in the cats left ear), so we can work with that feeder to educate on TNVR (Trap Neuter/Spay Vaccinate Return) options and techniques so we can ensure the cat gets fixed and is given vaccinations. If a feeder or resident is willing to trap a Community Cat for TNVR, we help train and educate the feeder on how to do so, review free or low-cost TNVR options, proper protocol, etc. If a feeder or resident is not willing to assist with TNVR activities, we will pass details re: the cat needing TNVR to our list of volunteer trappers.

Foster based, Holistic Animal Rescue & Sanctuary, promoting the welfare of all animals through holistic care and love.

We are a Holistic Animal Rescue & Sanctuary, focusing on the well-being of the animals who share our lives, near and far. We participate in rescue, rehabilitation, and care with a holistic focus and look to engage, educate, and encourage everyone to provide the best possible living environment for our fellow beings.

We are foster/ home-based and typically take in senior animals from over-crowded shelters. After any necessary health care, some will move to an adoptive home, others may stay in our care as long-term care or hospice pets. Our intention is to do what is best for the animals given their current state.

We prevent suffering and deaths of Montenegro's cats through high-volume spay-neuter. Based in Seattle, WA, nonprofit since 2019.

Kotor Kitties volunteers focus passionately on solving the overpopulation problems that cause so much suffering and death for community cats in Montenegro through high-volume spay-neuter surgeries.  

Montenegro is a tiny Balkan country, very poor and under-resourced for animals care.  We provide free spay-neuter surgeries, contracting with local vets at deeply discounted prices.

High-volume spay and neuter is the most cost-effective way to help the most cats in an area.  The individual animals benefit from improved health (and, in Montenegro, adoptability) while the overall population starts to come down once high enough levels of sterilization are reached.

We provide a limited amount of other medical care for cats along with the surgery--things like tail and leg amputations, removal of damaged eyes, hernia repair and dental extractions that greatly effect the cat's enjoyment of life at a relatively small cost.

Kotor Kitties is NOT a rescue; we have no shelter.  Those are not cost-effective ways to help, nor do we (or the country) have the capacity to handle the volume of friendly, adoptable animal who live on the streets.  We gladly provide information on best practices to individuals or groups who want to run their own rescues, or adopt an animal they've connected with. 

Kotor Kitties is run entirely by volunteers, and we welcome anyone with skills who want to either work remotely or help during a visit to Montenegro.
