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.
Hurricane Dorian has caused widespread devastation to the Bahamas, leaving at least 50 dead and over 1,300 as of yet unaccounted for.
GreaterGood.org is responding under Disaster Animal Relief (DAR), a coalition formed by the Bahamian government. Under this umbrella is GreaterGood.org, The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), The Bahamian Department of Agriculture, the Bahamian Veterinary Medical Association, as well as Island Humane Society and other incorporated stakeholders.
GreaterGood.org is serving a critical logistics role by managing distribution of products requested by this umbrella coalition out of warehouses in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. They are receiving daily updates of emergent supply needs and arranging daily flights to fill them without delay. These are urgent critical needs, and we are requesting your assistance in fulfilling them.
We ask you to understand that we are filling direct, critical requests and can only receive items that are identified below due to limitations on warehouse space on the islands. Unlike past Action Alerts, we cannot accept unsolicited offers that are not listed.
