California for All Animals exists to unite and amplify the work of California animal shelters to achieve our shared goal of matching every animal in need with the right outcome through the right care, delivered in the right place and at the right time.
We believe in learning and doing, making space for continuous discovery and always weighing impact along with intent. We’re driven by connections, not transactions. Virtuous cycles, not vicious circles. We believe that homes are more than places; they’re built in the bond between people and animals and rooted in our sense of belonging to each other. Where others see problems, we dream possibilities—and we put them into action.
Whether you’re an animal shelter, an organization devoted to strengthening the safety net for people and pets, or a Californian who believes in fierce compassion for animals and people, we hope you’ll join us.
