This Tattoo Represents A Better Life For All Pets

This custom temporary tattoo is designed as a symbol of support for spaying and neutering pets—a vital step in preventing the overpopulation of homeless animals. The tattoo’s green line reflects the small green mark veterinarians give to indicate a pet has been altered. By donating and wearing this tattoo, you show that you care deeply about animals and understand the importance of spay and neuter efforts.

Shelters Are Overflowing With Homeless Pets

Across the country, shelters are overflowing due to a rise in stray pets. At our shelter, some animals have waited more than a year to find their loving homes. While we’re dedicated to caring for each one, we never want to see shelters reach these capacity levels. This is why our focus on preventive work, like spaying and neutering, is so essential.

Supporting Pets And The People That Love Them

Our efforts also include community support, such as low-cost vaccination clinics and free pet food and supplies, to ensure that no one has to make difficult choices between their own needs and those of their pets. We want pets and people to stay together and for fewer pets to end up in shelters. By wearing this tattoo, you’re helping us spread the word about these crucial steps toward a better future for pets and people alike.

Your Donation Will Be Triple Matched!

All donations up to $200,000 will be triple matched this holiday season thanks to a generous grant from Best Friends Animal Society and a gift from a local supporter. Right now your gift has the greatest impact, allowing us to help three times the number of homeless pets. We are counting on you to help us care for thousands of pets over the next year.

Help Us Reach Our Goal of $50,000

With your support, we aim to raise $50,000 this Giving Tuesday. This amount can fund a month's worth of spay/neuter surgeries—approximately 500 surgeries—or cover the cost of care for 55 shelter pets, with an average of $910 spent on each pet. Join us in reaching our goal and share the love by giving more tattoos to pets while receiving one yourself.

Help us reach our goal of $50,000 this Giving Tuesday—your support will enable us to continue our lifesaving programs, including spay/neuter surgeries, medical care, and support for pets and their families.

And don't forget! Every donation will be triple matched! Now is the best time to donate to help three times as many pets.
