Donate
We’ve partnered with GreaterGood.org to help you donate to the shelter of your choice or to a larger fund for shelters in the future. Either way, you can be sure your money is making a difference.

Volunteer
Whether it’s walking dogs, taking pictures of new shelter animals or simply helping with laundry, every little bit counts at your local shelter. Call ahead and ask what will help the most!

Buy the bag that gives back
Every purchase of Hill’s food helps feed a shelter pet — so they can be healthy, happy and more adoptable.

Foster
Fostering a dog or cat helps shelters save space while socializing a pet. Look out — you may get attached to your new friend! Luckily, there’s also pet adoption.
