Who Are We?

07E6E1A0-9FC5-41F9-8461-984571D84C69_4_5005_c

We're a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit serving Bloomington-Normal and the surrounding communities since 1984. Thanks to generous donors and dedicated volunteers, we help more than 1,000 animals find safety, care, and a second chance every year.

We're independently funded — no steady government support — which means everything we do is powered by people like you.

How Can You Help?

Whether you've got an hour to volunteer, a few dollars to give,
or a couch made for fostering, there's a place for you here.
Every bit of support helps a pet get one step closer to home.

Make a Donation

It takes more than $500,000 a year to keep
our doors open. Your gift — big or small —
keeps the lights on, the bowls full, and
the second chances coming.
