Apply For Support Learn MoreWe believe every animal deserves quality care, regardless of their circumstances. Our mission is to support the dedicated shelters and rescue organizations that make this possible.
The Pawsitive Care Foundation's Animal Shelters Support Program is designed to bridge the gap between limited resources and the growing number of animals in need. We partner with shelters and rescue organizations across the country to provide nutritional supplies, educational resources, and wellness services.
With over 4,000 shelters in the U.S. and more than 3,233 shelters in Europe, our goal is to create a supportive network that elevates the standard of care for animals awaiting their forever homes. By addressing both immediate needs and long-term wellness, we're helping shelters provide the best possible care.
We provide high-quality food, supplements, and nutritional resources tailored to the specific needs of shelter animals. Proper nutrition is essential for animal health and recovery, especially for those coming from difficult situations.
Access to specialized training materials for shelter staff and volunteers on proper animal care, nutrition, and wellness. Our educational workshops help shelters implement best practices and improve overall animal welfare.
Connecting shelters with veterinary professionals who provide discounted or pro bono services. This includes wellness exams, vaccinations, and basic medical care for shelter animals.
Resources to help shelters improve their adoption rates, including marketing materials, adoption event support, and educational packets for new pet parents to ensure successful transitions to forever homes.
Programs that help shelters engage with their local communities, including volunteer recruitment, fundraising assistance, and public awareness campaigns to increase support for animal welfare initiatives.
Providing urgent support during natural disasters or crises that affect shelters and the animals in their care. This includes emergency supplies, temporary housing assistance, and coordinated response efforts.
Animal shelters and rescue organizations submit an application detailing their needs, mission, and the animals they serve. Our goal is to understand how we can best support each unique organization.
Our team reviews applications and works directly with shelters to assess their specific needs and challenges. We develop a customized support plan based on this assessment.
Once approved, shelters receive their tailored support package, which may include nutritional supplies, educational resources, and access to our veterinary network, all designed to address their specific needs.
Our relationship doesn't end with initial support. We provide ongoing assistance, regular check-ins, and additional resources as needed to ensure long-term success for the shelter and the animals in their care.
Supported shelters become part of our larger network, gaining access to shared resources, collaborative opportunities, and a community of like-minded organizations committed to animal welfare.
Here are just a few examples of how our support has helped shelters and the animals they care for.
