19 weeks into the year, 77 pets safe, 77 families kept together. That’s 77 times we’ve broken the cycle prevented the surrender of a beloved companion, removed barriers for someone experiencing homelessness to seek shelter, supported a woman escaping domestic violence to find safety knowing her pet is protected, and enabled someone to access vital mental or medical care without losing their best friend. We’ve even brought peace to a person in their final days, simply by ensuring their pet was cared for. This is not just rescue,it’s a reimagining of what rescue should be. We are not reacting after harm is done. We are acting before it happens. We’re doing prevention, not just intervention. And in doing so, we’re not only saving animal lives, we’re saving the lives of the people who love them. Many of the pets we help have already been through the system. "Rescued" once. Rehomed by someone deemed the “better owner.” But what makes someone better? The truth is, crisis doesn’t discriminate. It can happen to anyone. The difference we make is in standing with people during that crisis, offering resources, support, and the chance to stay together. This year alone, we've supported around 350 additional pets outside of our foster program by doing just that. When we help people keep their animals, we reduce trauma. We promote healing. We restore dignity and hope. We are creating a more compassionate society, together. Programs like our Pet Food Bank and Paws With Friends - Supporting Older People and Pets , Community Vet Fund and Paws & Pals - homeless support aren’t just helping animals,they’re preserving lifelines. Our impact is far-reaching, and deeply human. Take D2, for example. Her owner was moments away from losing her. D2 had already landed in the system and was about to be surrendered. We got there just in time,because of you. And now, they’re still together. This is not just animal welfare,it’s human welfare. The bond between people and pets is powerful. For many, it’s a lifeline. Your support acknowledges that. It keeps families whole, hearts intact, and futures filled with hope. Thank you for being part of this change. Thank you for being someone’s reason to hold on. (fb)
