Program Progress Tracker is at the heart of our transparency promise. Every dollar you give goes directly toward our four life-saving programs: emergency veterinary care, rescue pulls from high-risk shelters, safe transport across the United States, and adoption support to help dogs find loving homes.
This program progress tracker shows exactly where we stand on our 2026 commitments – updated monthly so you can see the impact of your support in real time.
We were established in February 2026.
