Donate dormant funds to help dogs find loving homes
Your contribution can help thousands of dogs find their forever home.

Your dormant funds can make a life-changing difference for thousands of dogs in need of a second chance at life. By donating unclaimed client account balances, you help us provide care, love, and stability for dogs waiting to find their forever families.
How your donation helps

These funds are vital to help us provide life-changing care for over 13,000 of our furry friends.
