Because of the pandemic and shutdowns, our ability to fundraise with in-person events has been impacted. This is your chance to donate to a wonderful cause to ensure that we can continue to give back to the community and keep saving animals' lives!
*** The Trot for Tails Virtual 5k fundraiser has ended. Thank you for all of your support! ***

OUR MISSION
We give companion animals the best chance at the life they deserve through rehabilitation, foster care, adoption and community support that keeps pets with the people who love them.
We operate out of a 2800 square foot facility caring for an average of 650 animals per year. We are very proud of our 97% save rate. With a commitment to serving our socio-economically diverse community, our support programs expand our reach beyond this tiny footprint.
Our Pet Food and Supply Pantry has become even more important during this difficult time. We are currently providing more than 1,000 pounds of food weekly to owners in need. Rather than having to surrender a beloved pet, our Custodial Program offers animal care free-of-charge when people are facing a short-term housing crisis. Our Senior Safety Net Program helps seniors on a fixed income cover the costs of routine medical care for their pets.
We cannot do this alone. That’s why we're asking you to join us as we continue to care for animals and people in our community. They need us now more than ever.
PARTICIPATION IS SIMPLE:
- Donate directly here OR
- Join the Trot and have fun! Create your own fundraising page. The first 100 participants receive a free Keep Calm and Trot On bandana
