If you’re ready to help us shake up this broken system you’ve come to the right place: Pets in Place!
A pack with a purpose!
We are a pack of pet advocates that believe no one should be forced to surrender their pet because they need a little help financially or an extra set of hands when times get hard.
Pets in Place is a pet-dedicated platform that helps prevent pet displacement through volunteer support systems, education, and financial grants.
HOW WE HELP
Hardships happen. Sometimes, dog and cat owners need a little extra help meeting their pet’s needs.
Barkley’s family loves him, yet economic struggles force them to consider surrendering him because the cost of on-going care and feeding is no longer affordable.
Glendo wags impatiently for his daily walks. His owner is currently recovering from surgery and needs help caring for this loyal canine.
- Pets in Place is the platform where users make requests for assistance on their furry friend’s behalf.
- Our pack raises funds and connects pet support experts and volunteers to each unique request.
- Donors receive confirmation of how their dollars helped place volunteers and professionals with the pet-loving family they selected to assist.
- You made a difference!
- You helped a cat or dog stay right where they belong — in their favorite sunny spot at home. Most likely on the couch when their people aren’t looking.
