Muttville is changing the way the world thinks about and treats older dogs.

Every day...
dogs in good health with wonderful personalities are euthanized. Why? Because they're older, and not considered adoptable. A dog is brought in because he can't jog with his guardian anymore. Or he needs a little time to get up the stairs. Or he’s simply not a puppy. In some cases, dogs are moved from loving homes to concrete cages because their guardians have died or simply can't care for them anymore.

We reach out to senior dogs at risk, give them the care they need, and find them loving forever homes. If we had our way, no dog would spend their last days in a shelter. There is so much love and joy in these dogs!

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.

To improve the welfare of animals in Asia, resulting in better lives for both the animal and human communities.

Soi Dog Foundation (Soi Dog) was established in 2003 in Phuket, Thailand, to help the street dogs and cats who had no-one else to care for them. Over 70,000 strays roamed the island, with the numbers growing alarmingly due to a lack of spay and neuter programmes to control the population. Soi Dog was created to provide a humane and sustainable solution to managing the stray population and to address their medical needs. Funding then, as it does now, came entirely from individuals who shared, and continue to share, the vision of our founders.

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.

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.

Old Dog Haven provides a loving safe home for abandoned senior dogs in western Washington.

When we have room and the means, we take these dogs into our homes. We adopt out those dogs with a reasonable life-expectancy. We care for the rest as members of the family in permanent foster homes (what we call “Final Refuge”) for as long as they have good quality of life. In addition, we try to assist owners in finding new homes for their senior dogs through our website and referrals.

Old Dog Haven is committed to the belief that all senior dogs should live peacefully in their final years as members of a caring family. To this end we:

Provide permanent foster homes for unadoptable, abandoned or soon to be homeless, senior dogs in western Washington, age eight and over. We give preference to the oldest dogs and those that have serious health issues.
Assist owners, shelters, and rescues in finding homes for their adoptable senior dogs age eight and over by posting those dogs on our website and our Facebook page;
Educate the public about the value of senior dogs in our lives and the unique gifts they bring us.
We intend to keep Old Dog Haven foster dogs as healthy and comfortable as possible by providing excellent medical care, but without heroic measures intended only to extend life. We are committed to helping these dogs find peace in their final years without judgment of the humans who have left them.

When quality of life is no longer present for any senior dog we believe that euthanasia is the ultimate gift we give them.

All too many dogs of advanced years find themselves terrified and confused at shelters, where their chances of adoption are almost zero. Others are desperate for a new home because of an owner’s death, a move, owners working much longer hours, trouble with small children in the home, or bad financial circumstances. Many of these dogs are in poor physical condition as well, making them even less appealing to others. Helping them is sometimes challenging, is often expensive, but is very very rewarding. Our goal is that their last years are happy and that they die safe and at peace, knowing they are loved. Wouldn’t we all wish this for our own pets and for ourselves?

Old Dog Haven

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. 


The San Francisco SPCA

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.

Organization, 100% volunteer based. We focus on raising funds to assist injured homeless animals.

We understand we cannot change the world, but we can change the world for a homeless animal – one animal at a time.  We dream of a world without animal abuse, n…eglect or suffering. We dream of a world without homeless animals. We dream of a world where humans realize how much better our lives can be if we love and bring animals into our families. Animals bring us happiness and peace. Animals teach us unconditional love and loyalty. Animals teach us to live in the moment, to enjoy a good nap and a treat, and to enjoy a good walk. Animals show us how to live in the moment without regrets of the past and anticipation of the future.

People Saving Animals

Our mission is to rescue, foster, rehabilitate and rehome abandoned, abused, and unwanted animals.


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. We are committed to helping the neediest, as well as the readily adoptable.

Once in our care, all animals are spayed or neutered, given any needed vaccinations, and receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment. 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.

Wags and Whiskers Pet Rescue

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.

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!

Founded in 2021, Unforgettable Paws Animal Rescue is a registered Animal Rescue Service run by and for its members. Based in central Florida, we strive to be the voice of the lost paws everywhere. Our team and volunteers work tirelessly to save lives and promote animal welfare.

Our goal is to find forever homes for our fur companions who have have a rough go at life. We aim to achieve this goal through animal rescue, adoption, foster programs, and volunteer activities. We put forth a great focus towards educating the communication on overpopulation and the importance of animal rescue on lowering the euthanasia rate in the country. 
​
Although we are an animal rescue, Unforgettable Paws also aims to aid our two legged friends too. We have a special place in our hearts for war veterans and individuals with autism and would love for members of those communities to be paired with an animal that will change their life. 
​
Our adoptions are a life-long companionship agreement. Our rescue is a life-long family. 

Paws that were once lost will join our rescue and never be forgotten again. 

Unforgettable Paws

An organization focused on the rescue, rehabilitation & re-homing of abused, neglected, abandoned, & displaced small-breed dogs.

Lending A Helping Paw is our mission.
Lending A Helping Paw is our duty.
Lending A Helping Paw is our purpose.

Our 501(c)(3) organization, Lend A Helping Paw® Shih Tzu Rescue (LAHPSTR), lends a helping paw to fluffy, small-breed dogs in need, particularly Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apsos. We are considered a rescue of last resort and primarily rescue the ones who are left behind. We rehabilitate them physically and emotionally so that they can have a fresh start and a bright future; we call it “a new leash on life“. Those dogs who are not readily adoptable stay in our Forever Foster “sanctuary” Program for the rest of their natural lives.

We are headquartered in Michigan. We do not maintain a physical shelter. All our dogs are in private foster homes across the US and cared for by experienced, dedicated volunteers who, in time, heal the minds, bodies and souls of the small furballs with love and patience.

Lend A Helping Paw® Shih Tzu Rescue provides best-in-class, white-glove veterinary care, including advanced diagnostics and specialist care if needed, to all our dogs to address their known medical needs. We believe that rescue is as much as about proper veterinary assistance as it is about placing a dog in an adoptive home. No animal is put to sleep because of medical expenses or the inconvenience of care.

Our adoption process is designed to select those people who have a loving, patient heart and are committed to continuing the nurturing of our dogs post-adoption. Our objective is not to adopt out large numbers of dogs, but to match each adoptable dog with the best home for them.

Lend A Helping Paw® Shih Tzu Rescue adopts to most states subject to applicable state laws. We partner with airlines and reputable non-profit organizations to transport our dogs free of charge to adoptive families to the extent possible. If flying, our dogs travel accompanied and in cabin.

Our organization’s guiding principles are compassion, love and integrity. We are 100% volunteer-based and driven by a passion for rescue and a love of small fluffy breeds. Donations to our organization support our dogs and rescue operations.

We work to end the human/street dog conflict by creating a humane and sustainable environment for animals. 

Our mission is to end the human/street dog conflict by creating a humane and sustainable environment for animals with direct benefits to the people of Dharamsala, India.
What do we do?
We provide several key programs to achieve our goals: spay/neuter, rabies vaccination, rescue and adoption, street animal feeding, and community education for rabies safety and compassion.
We are a small but mighty NGO located in the rural village of Rakkar on the outskirts of Dharamshala. We currently have a staff of 14: 1 vet (1 to be hired), an NGO Director, vet assistants, catchers, and office staff. 


DAR focuses on five main programs designed to effectively achieve our mission and goals: 

ABC/AR (Animal Birth Control/Anti-rabies)  - This program is a systematic approach to creating a rabies-free environment and controlling the population of strays humanely, following the ICAM (International Campaign Animal Management coalition). 

Street Animal Rescue – This program provides an optimal environment for any small animal needing 24/7 care due to accidents, disease, cruelty, or abandonment. 

Street Animal Feeding - During India’s first lockdown due to Covid 19 in April of 2020, the animals living on the street lost their food sources: restaurant leftovers, garbage bins, and leftovers/scraps provided by shops and businesses. DAR convinced the local government to get special passes to groups of people who wanted to feed the dogs and other animals so they did not starve. One family in particular stepped up and today feeds 250 animals per day. As of April 2021, DAR provides the funds needed for food each month. Feeders are a crucial part of our community work. The more humans out there feeding and being kind to street dogs, the easier it is for us to catch dogs for sterilisation, vaccination, and rescue. When the community is daily feeding dogs and animals the suffering is decreased and a bond is formed. 

Humane Education and Community Outreach – Our school program, “Animal Buddies,” teaches young children how to be kind to stray dogs even if they are scared of them. It also teaches kids and teachers what to do if they get bit by an unknown dog, so that they are safe from rabies. This program has been on hold due to schools closed because of Covid. 

Adoption – We encourage local adoption but all potential families must go through an application process, approval, and follow up.

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 175,000 cats and dogs. We estimate these efforts have kept 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.

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.

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.

At the BUB Fund, we believe every dog deserves a chance at a happy, healthy life – including those with behavioral challenges. 

At the BUB Fund, we believe every dog deserves a chance at a happy, healthy life – including those with behavioral challenges. That's why we're proud to introduce our latest endeavor: **Paws and Reflect**.

This initiative is a compassionate response to the often-overlooked needs of behavioral dogs, who face higher risks of being euthanized due to the specialized care and time required for rehabilitation.

**Empowering Adoption, Supporting Rehabilitation**

Understanding that behavioral challenges are not a barrier to love and companionship, this initiative offers crucial support to individuals adopting reactive or behaviorally challenged dogs. We provide access to professional trainers, ensuring adopters have the resources and guidance needed to nurture a positive, lasting bond with their new companions.

**Enhancing Shelter Care and Foster Networks**

Recognizing the stressful impact of shelter environments on these sensitive dogs, our initiative also focuses on improving their shelter experience. We fund experienced trainers to work extensively within shelters, offering behavioral intervention that transforms the lives of these dogs, making them more adaptable to future homes.

Simultaneously, we are building a robust network of short-term foster carers, specially trained to provide a nurturing and understanding environment. This network is crucial in giving behavioral dogs a respite from the shelter, aiding in their rehabilitation and readiness for a forever home.

**Join Us in This Mission**

Through the Paws and Reflect Initiative, we extend our commitment to all dogs, especially those who require extra patience and understanding. Your support can make a significant difference in the lives of these dogs and the people who welcome them into their hearts and homes.

Together, let's change the narrative for behavioral dogs, proving that with the right support and love, they too can flourish and bring immeasurable joy to our lives.

We are so thankful you're a part of this life-changing work.

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.
