You can make this holiday season even brighter for homeless pets

No matter where you live, you can make a lifesaving difference for animals waiting for homes of their own when you foster, volunteer, and support your community's animal shelters.

Fostering is a short-term commitment with a long-term, lifesaving impact. Opening your home to a pet gives that dog or cat valuable life experiences, like meeting new people and learning how to play.

Is your community no-kill?

Shelters and rescue groups in your community need caring people like you to adopt, foster, donate, volunteer, and advocate to help save the lives of pets.
