Resource Guide
This guide provides shelters, rescue professionals, volunteers, and advocates with ideas and inspiration to help save even more lives.
We regularly visit shelters and rescues across the southern states to see what's working and build connections with the amazing people doing this work. Through these visits and our research team, we discover creative fundraising ideas, volunteer programs, grants, donation opportunities, and innovative ways organizations are saving more lives. This guide brings together all those discoveries in one place, making it easy for anyone working in animal rescue to find the tools they need. We're always adding new resources and ideas, so if you know of something great that should be included, please share it with us!
