What they do
2025 Found Us Intaking (18) Cats (8) Dogs, With An Additional (9) Cats (6) Dogs (permanent Foundation Seniors). We Helped Less Than Previous Years, (higher Medical Dogs/cats Took Longer to Place & Many Were Also Under-socialized). 2025 Was A Year That Also Proved Difficult In Finding Foster Homes, Cats and Dogs That Stayed Longer In Rescue Due to Forever Homes Not Being Found Sooner. The Average Length of Time Was 4 Months, (combination of Limited Foster Homes and Adoptions) Kept Us From Being Able to Help More Cats and Dogs In Need. We Also Said Goodbye to Several Cats and Dogs (more Than In Previous Years). Animals Are Coming to Us With More Medical Needs Than Weve Ever Seen.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
