We believe every community can transform its animal shelter system to save more lives. Your donation makes that transformation possible by providing the resources, funding, and support that shelters desperately need.

Make An Impact

Through our InstaSnip program, your donation funds spay and neuter surgeries that stop the cycle of overpopulation before it starts. Our InstaGrant program provides immediate funding for essential needs like kennels, cooling equipment, and medical supplies that allow shelters to house more animals safely and create environments where dogs can thrive.

Your donation also enables us to travel to shelters across America, document their stories, and connect them with the resources and community support they need. We provide our book, Who Will Let the Dogs Out: Stories and Solutions, free to animal shelters, offering practical strategies for improving outcomes and saving lives.

Every item on our Amazon Wishlist goes directly to shelters and rescues in need across the rural South.
