What is the Need?
Every day, families face heartbreaking choices. People who care deeply for their pets are often left with no option but to surrender them to shelters due to financial or personal hardship. And shelters are operating at capacity with not enough room for the number of animals needing help. Our goal is to change that. By providing support to pet owners in crisis, we can help keep animals at home with the people who love them. Not only does this strengthen the powerful human-animal bond, but it also frees up shelter space for truly abandoned or at-risk animals that have no one else.
What Will You Be Supporting?
Your contribution will ensure that pets can receive the food assistance and veterinary care they need and that people are treated with respect and dignity. This could include spay/neuter, life-saving vaccines, microchips, and diagnostics for illness or injury. By supporting these families in keeping their pets, you allow our rescue team to focus on animals who have no one and desperately in need of help - ultimately, you’re helping to save two lives.
How You Can Make a Difference?
Your donation directly provides pet food, essential supplies, and urgent veterinary care to animals whose families are struggling. Your kindness helps prevent surrenders, keeps pets where they’re loved, and supports both the physical and emotional well-being of people and animals alike. You will help free up vital space in the shelter for animals in need.
Your Impact!
When you give, you're giving a senior on a small pension the peace of mind that her aging cat can get the treatment he needs. You are helping the single parent the single parent treat the family dog with an unexpected medical emergency that brings her children comfort and joy. You are helping someone who lost their job help feed their pet for a couple of months while they get back on their feet. You're keeping families whole and keeping beloved pets from becoming statistics in an already overburdened shelter system.
Now more than ever, we need compassionate solutions. By supporting AARCS Compassionate Care and Assistance Programs, together we are reducing pet homelessness and suffering. With your help, we can make a lasting difference for pets, for people, and for our entire community.
