Animal Health & Wellbeing

Two decades of helping animals—and the people who care for them—worldwide.

Animal crises reflect larger challenges facing communities and our planet. Overcrowded shelters, lack of veterinary care, and shrinking wildlife populations signal strains on both communities and ecosystems.  

Real solutions are within reach. When communities are empowered to rescue animals, protect natural habitats, and support sustainable ecosystems, lasting change begins to take root. 

Thanks to your support, we are addressing these challenges through programs that focus on both animal welfare and community resilience. By listening to and working alongside local communities, we're delivering sustainable solutions for animals and the people who care for them.

72,000+ dogs and cats spayed or neutered

How we respond

Responding where animals need us most

Our veterinarians, animal welfare experts, and wildlife specialists deliver expert care, resources, and hands-on support that safeguard animal health, relieve suffering, and improve quality of life for pets and wildlife—all while fostering stronger, healthier communities.

Emergency & Preventive Veterinary Services

We provide resources to deliver emergency medical care and treat critically ill or injured animals, often saving lives. In areas where access to veterinary care is limited, we also provide free, high-volume spay and neuter surgeries, vaccinations, and assistance with humane trap-neuter and-release services to help manage animal populations. 

These preventive measures tackle overpopulation at its source, reducing shelter overcrowding and improving community-wide animal welfare. Our goal: strengthen communities by reducing shelter overcrowding and advancing animal welfare at every level.

Animal Transport & Shelter Support  

We partner to transport pets from overcrowded shelters to facilities where they have a better chance of adoption. During times of crisis, animals are often displaced—separated from their families or needing temporary shelter while their owners recover and rebuild. Our teams step in to help clear existing shelter populations, creating the space and capacity needed to care for displaced animals when they need it most and provide shelters with life-saving resources like food, medicine, and critical equipment.  

Beyond emergency response, we strengthen long-term care through staff training and operational support. We also help renovate emergency shelters and transitional housing facilities, ensuring families facing homelessness, domestic violence, or displacement can stay together with their pets.

Wildlife Protection & Rehabilitation    

Wild animals injured or displaced by disaster or habitat loss receive specialized rescue and rehabilitation services. Our wildlife teams assess each animal's needs, provide medical treatment, and coordinate safe relocation to appropriate habitats. This work protects individual animals while supporting broader conservation efforts and ecosystem health, which is particularly important for endangered species recovery.

Safe Spaces for Pets & People

We create co-sheltering environments where families and pets remain together through crisis and recovery. By partnering with housing programs and emergency shelters, we help preserve the human-animal bond during life's most vulnerable moments, recognizing that pets are family members who provide crucial emotional support.

When animals suffer, communities suffer, too.

Addressing animal needs in times of crisis eases resource pressures, supports public health, and helps communities recover with strength and dignity.
