Homeless pets animals are suffering too during these trying times. City and County shelters are closed to the public. Dogs and carts languish for weeks or months in cages, with no interaction with visitors and little hope of finding homes except for those saved by rescues ( we are allowed to visit the shelters by appointment).

Saving pets requires funding - each pet needs boarding, vet care, food, and training - and our fundraising ability is greatly diminished by the COVID situation We can't hold fundraising events, and all the festivals and adoption events we typically attend are cancelled. Our private donations have dropped steeply as individuals deal with the challenges of the "new normal".

The Morgan Hearst Charitable Foundation heard of our financial struggles and is finding a way to support us during this difficult time. We're hoping their generous offer to match donations will move people to contribute to our mission to rescue these helpless pets trapped shelters.
