Monthly Membership

When you become a Giving Guardian, your continuous support impacts the lives of pets and the people who love them. Your monthly gift provides critical and reliable funds needed to help the communities we serve.

Corporate Giving

Donating through your employer’s workplace giving campaign is a simple way to help homeless pets. Many companies will even match your donation, doubling or tripling the impact of your gift! We participate in workplace giving campaigns in companies across the country. Your gift could help twice as many homeless pets. Many employers offer matching gift programs that double or even triple charitable contributions made by their employees. Some companies even match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses, too. And many employers also offer volunteer matching programs that match employee volunteerism with corporate donations!

Planned Giving

When you incorporate charitable giving in your estate planning, you gain personal satisfaction — not only by completing your plan, but also by providing for the people and charities that matter most to you.

Memorial Gifts and Tribute Donations

Celebrate the life of a beloved person or pet with a memorial gift. When you make a memorial gift, you are honoring a loved one’s memory while supporting our mission to create a community of healthy pets and empowered pet owners.

Second Chance Fund

The Second Chance Fund is dedicated to providing extensive, often emergency medical care to pets who are injured, sick, neglected or abused. This fund ensures uninterrupted medical care for the companion animals that we rescue. The Second Chance Fund allows us to treat pets in need of orthopedic surgeries, dogs suffering from heartworm disease, cats diagnosed with FIV/FELV and pets with many other illnesses or conditions. We believe they all deserve a second chance!

East Side Pet Crisis Fund

From January 2014 to December 2019, the Pet Crisis Fund has helped over 200 families with pets receive emergency veterinary care. Assistance has included examinations, obstructions, parvo treatment, emergency surgeries, and humane euthanasia. Thanks to our East Side Pet Crisis Fund, we are able to help keep pets with their people by providing emergency veterinary care.

 

2022 Supporters

Thank you to our family of contributors, funders and volunteers, both big and small, who help us move on up year after year!

Metro East Industries, Inc. (MEI) and the Ortyl family keep moving on up with us! In 2022, we welcomed Jenny Dolce from MEI as our new board president. Jenny and her family’s business continue to be one of our most supportive corporate partners and philanthropic families. During MEI’s annual holiday giving campaign, their team raised more funds than ever before. From the annual memorial golf tournament to a slew of matching sponsorships, we are incredibly grateful for their continued support and partnership year after year.
