Lil BUB is a one of a kind space cat. Since landing on Earth, she's raised over $1,000,000 for homeless pets nationwide.

Lil BUB’s Big Fund exists to advocate for special needs companion animals and build a community that celebrates and fosters the human animal bond.

Lil BUB’s Big Fund provides grants to shelters nationwide and partners with shelters to create special needs foster program initiatives. We visit schools to promote kindness and inclusion. Through our work, we share BUB’s message of overcoming adversity and the knowledge that the things that make us different are worthy of being seen and appreciated.

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.

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.

Milo's Sanctuary, Inc.

Helping over 40,000 pets a year 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 22 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.

Pet adoption, animal hospitals, pet boarding, teaching children to love animals and more can be found at www.animalcenter.org .

"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.

We are an all-breed no kill animal rescue dedicated to rescuing animals at risk of euthanasia in shelters, as well as those surrendered by their owners because of difficult circumstances, and those in danger of abuse or neglect.

They are then placed in nurturing foster homes while they await placement in their permanent homes. We assist dogs in distress without regard to age, breed or ease of placement. To the extent our finances allow, animals in the greatest need take priority.

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.

Kitten Rescue is a Los Angeles-based non-profit organization dedicated to saving homeless and abandoned cats and kittens.

Kitten Rescue is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization devoted to finding loving homes for unwanted, homeless cats and kittens. We rescue cats and kittens from the streets of Los Angeles and from City Shelter euthanasia. Since our start in 1997, we have grown into one of the largest, most well-respected animal welfare groups in LA.

Kitten Rescue

The largest full service center for prevention of cruelty to animals in Mississippi.

MARL is an “open admission” shelter- that means we accept every animal that comes in the door. Other shelters in the area re “limited admission”, meaning they accept a limited, finite number of animals. In our state, it is primarily left to private organizations and city animal control agencies to provide shelter and care for unwanted animals.

One of our key goals is to find loving homes for all animals in our facility. As an “open admission” shelter, we take in on an average of 50-60 animals a day and many more in the spring and summer. Local “limited admission” shelters turn animals away when they are full. We work very hard to provide loving and humane treatment and good homes for each and every animal that comes through our doors. Sadly, we receive more animals than there are homes available. Being an “open admission” shelter, we face the hard reality of animal overpopulation each day.

An all-volunteer cat rescue committed to helping make New York a no-kill city

As one of the most active cat rescues in the 5 boroughs, ACR is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and adopting out homeless and abandoned cats, with a focus on shelter and community animals. Many of these felines are sick, injured or dismissed as unadoptable. Through a coalition of volunteers and caregivers, each rescued cat is welcomed with kindness and medical care into a foster home to prepare it for adoption into a permanent, loving home. Anjellicle Cats Rescue believes that no animal should be ill-treated and strives toward a day when awareness, education and compassion have replaced euthanasia as a solution to companion animal overpopulation.

Sanctuary Hostel is a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to animal welfare. Let's build a world where all creatures live in harmony.

Sanctuary Hostel and Animal Rescue is a 501c3 nonprofit with a mission to educate people on animal welfare 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 and we have already received permits and preliminary architecture designs. Your donation will help us finalize the construction designs 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 goal is to tackle the stray animal problem at the source and provide a long-term solution with a self-sufficient model. We plan to do this by:
1. Encouraging/demonstrating animal compassion to young students and surrounding communities
2, Training people to better communicate with animals for a happier co-existence
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.

Rescues and places homeless animals and so much more

Hull Seaside Animal Rescue (HSAR) was founded in December 1999 by a group of concerned area residents in response to the large number of homeless cats in the town of Hull. HSAR started as an active trap/neuter/release (TNR) program to address the large homeless cat colonies in our community. Today, Hull has far fewer feral cats as a result.

HSAR is an no-profit, no-kill organization which rescues and finds forever homes for needy cats and kittens. Many of the cats brought to our shelter have been abandoned and left homeless in South Shore towns or the city of Boston. Each cat that comes to us is checked by a veterinarian, spayed/neutered, and provided with much love and affection. Our adoption coordinator then finds the best adoptive family for the cat's needs.

In May of 2015 HSAR purchased its own forever home! With the help of many volunteers, the shelter moved from its rental space to its current location at 487 Nantasket Ave. We are so proud to be able to continue the work we do in our very own home. The cats have a free-roaming and comfortable environment to live in while they wait for their own forever homes!

We are a 501(c)(3) organization that is primarily foster based, volunteer driven, and relies on donations, contributions, and fund raising.

Odd Cat Sanctuary

These forgotten feral's need shelters so my partner and I build numerous houses every year, which we stuff with hay and insulate with blue spruce tree limbs. It takes tremendous work and effort to place these homes in the woods. We also build numerous feeding cafes every year. These feeding cafes are where the food and water is placed and kept dry from inclement weather. When feeding we stay with the feral's until they are done eating so they can eat without fear of the predators. With our harsh Maine winters, these areas must be shoveled and kept dry; otherwise these animals couldn’t reach their food nor get out of their houses. We have 18 areas on the outside so when we have a blizzard we have to shovel several hundred feet to reach these feeders and cafes. One site is over a mile to shovel, in order to reach their houses and cafes . Some days we may start at 4:30 am and not finish for 24 hours.

A feline rescue & rehabilitation center located in Hobart, Indiana

We are committed to promoting the cat-human bond while cultivating relationships with local animal control agencies, humane societies, other rescue organizations, and our local community. FCN works to ensure the well-being of companion cats by providing medical care and rehabilitation services to those felines that arrive sick or injured. Ideally, we would like to aid as many cats as possible, however, in reality, due to insufficient funding, and space we must prioritize. Many of our cats come from shelters and animal control agencies that, by necessity or policies, must euthanize. Our primary focus at FCN is to admit cats facing desperate situations of unnecessary euthanasia. As a secondary focus, we then work within Lake & Porter County, Indiana to accept cats coming from other intolerable circumstances such as; overcrowding and situations of neglect or abuse, when space and funding are available. We focus on the need in our local communities first before reaching beyond our service area. .

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

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 in our local shelters. They 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 170,000 cats and dogs. We estimate these efforts have kept almost 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. They are able to maintain the highest safety standards, operate with experienced and passionate veterinary staff, and keep prices affordable thanks to generous community 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.

It is estimated there to be over 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, HCW works 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. They are one of the city’s primary resources for community cat services.

Heaven Can Wait’s Wellness Clinic is their 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.

Heaven Can Wait’s Pups on Parole Program is a prison dog training program providing medical care, socialization, rehabilitation, and training to dogs that would be considered “at risk” in a traditional shelter environment. Often taking in dogs presenting checkered pasts, medical issues, or those who are in desperate need, the Pups on Parole program pairs them with an inmate at the local women’s correctional facility to train them to become ideal doggy citizens. Hundreds of inmates have benefitted from the program, some calling it “life-changing", and thousands of dogs have found new, loving homes.
