We take on the tough cases.
We say yes to the ones who need emergency surgery. To the ones who need lifelong care for a chronic condition. To the ones who need a life-saving treatment for a treatable condition. And to those who need sanctuary and comfort in their last days.
We take the longshots.
To us, Every Animal Matters is not talk. It is our walk. We walk it into surgery, into hours of rehab, into all-nighters with sick puppies and tiny fading kittens. Step after—sometimes heartbreaking, labor-intensive— step.
We can only commit to doing that with your help.

HEARTWORM TREATMENT
Heartworms are fatal in dogs if left untreated. The treatment, however, is usually considered too resource-intensive for many shelters and rescue groups, leading to a death sentence.
