Pets 2 the Rescue

Pets Want to Help, Too!

Pets 2 the Rescue is a national virtual run/walk event to help care for homeless dogs & cats and the organizations that care for them and find them homes.  Shelters/agencies were selected in each state with priority given to no-kill organizations.

Our selected organizations provide shelter, love and care, reunite lost pets with their owners and find new forever homes for homeless pets, and provide access to spay & neuter services.
