Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our goals are to reduce animal overpopulation in shelters and find loving homes for animals in need locally and beyond. We strive to rescue and rehabilitate dogs in need across the country. We also offer a free pet pantry to provide food for free to the community, no questions asked.

-we partner with community fridges in NYC to donate pet food and supplies for the public to access
-we partner with pet stores to collect donations and to reduce food waste
-we partner shelters across the country to pull animals and bring them to the northeast to find loving homes

We have had approximately 30 dog adoptions in 2 years, partnered with 5 new shelters in 2021, flew a dog here from India to find a home, we have partnered with 1 new pet store and 3 new community fridges in 2021.

We have donated over 2000 bags of animal food this year alone and found homes for dogs in need.
