The Pet Leadership Council Giving Network is a collaboration between the Pet Leadership Council and GreaterGood.org‘s RescueBank to connect pet care companies with companion animals in need of supplies and other resources. It provides a fast and effective way to mobilize the pet industry to respond to crises and to ensure that pets in need receive the care they deserve.
Organizations register to become Giving Network partners. Giving Network partners will receive periodic updates from the Giving Network, including action alerts about pets in need.
Partners can submit donation offers via the Giving Network dashboard. Submitted donation offers are reviewed by a member of the Giving Network team to attempt to find a suitable recipient.
Once a suitable donation/recipient match has been found, RescueBank will coordinate the pickup and transport of supplies from the location specified by the donor to a regional distribution center operated by a RescueBank affiliate.
After the donation has been delivered to a regional distribution center of RescueBank affiliate, pre-qualified not-for-profit organizations in the area are notified. These organizations pay a small, weight-based handling fee to pick up the supplies. This fee is waived for law enforcement and disaster-related activity.
The resources provided by your organization can make all the difference for animals in need. To get started today, sign up or log in below.
Puerto Rico is currently facing an animal welfare crisis. Following the devastation of Hurricane Maria, many individuals have fled the island and left their pets behind. The number of unowned dogs in Puerto Rico is estimated at over 300,000 while the number of unowned cats is estimated at over one million. Veterinary resources have been stretched to the limit. The situation is dire.
In an effort to combat the problem, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) has launched the Spayathon for Puerto Rico, a campaign to help control the animal population on the island. Working in concert with 26 national and international organizations, the Spayathon aims to spay, neuter, and vaccinate 20,000 dogs and cats throughout the island.
To facilitate their goals, the HSUS has requested support in the form of 8,500 collars and leashes for dogs and cats treated through the program.
