To address the imbalance between the demands on California animal shelters and their capacity to care for animals in need, we provide financial resources, training, and partnership opportunities with the goal of keeping animals with their people. When the shelter is the best place for an animal to receive care, we work alongside agencies to create environments that center every dimension of well-being to place animals in homes as quickly as possible.

How We Help

We Train. We help shelter teams across the state learn, do, and share together, so they can grow cultures, policies and practices that advance human and animal well-being.

We Build. Through shelter outreach, online communities and events, we foster connection and partnerships to build a stronger ecosystem of care in California.

We Fund. We support implementation of evidence-based practices that address the systemic drivers of euthanasia of adoptable and treatable pets.

This is for shelters
This is for everyone

This is for shelters in the city. This is for shelters in the country. This is for shelters from farmland to desert, mountains to coast. This is for everyone who believes in fierce compassion for animals, for people, for themselves. Because in California we don’t just catch waves; we create waves.
