National Directory Help

When contacting, BE KIND!!! You may not get the answer you want, but it is not for lack of care, there is only so much these organizations can do at a time.
Most programs have limited funds and specific rules (income limits, estimates from a vet, emergencies vs. non-urgent). Always read the application page first.
If you’re facing DV, call the National DV Hotline 1-800-799-7233 and use the Safe Havens map to find pet-inclusive options nearby.
