how can you help save a life?

Our approved rescue & shelter partners

Our partners have shown the highest level of commitment with their transparency, integrity, and true impact. We have one of the largest shelter and rescue networks of any new, dog-rescue focused non-profit.

And our network is growing every week.

we don’t just write checks. We do the work to ensure your support goes where it actually helps dogs.

How we "vet" our partners

Each partner goes through the same screening process to ensure alignment in the goal of saving dogs. Here is our criteria to receive benefits:

  • be a 501c3 registered entity (can be any state or in Canada)
  • be in good standing with no previous issues or suspensions with the 501 registration and be current in their tax filings
  • have a legal and verified business address
  • Submit copies of their articles and board members
  • carry and have current liability insurance policies
  • provide vet references
  • have a current website and social media accounts
  • provide reviews of the # of placements in the past 12 months, and if deaths of animals occurred, the number and reason
  • share a common rescue philosophy
  • hold themselves to the highest standard of care and commitment to any dog pulled from a shelter and placed in a home
  • must have a policy in place to take a failed adoption dog back and find another, more permanent home

We will ship all items to the respective rescues and shelters when the orders are placed. If they are part of the BOGO they ship every other week to the rescue or shelter designated. If there is a larger product donation, they ship within 7 days.

After 10+ years in the rescue world, we know what shelters need and run out of the most often. We will be adding more items as needed.

YES! We provide direct links to each rescue and shelter we partner with so you can visit their sites and facilities and donate money, items, or volunteer.

For logistic and legal reasons, we only work with organizations within North America. We fully vet our partners including on-site visits, records and document reviews, etc.

We will stop working with a partner if there are verified issues such as fund raising without registration, abuse or abandonment of dogs, death of dogs, or any other bad actor behavior. We reserve that right without notice.

You can volunteer with any of our approved rescues or shelter partners by contacting them directly via the links on the site. If there is a shelter or rescue nearer you, please reach out as we know they need help, too!
