About us
Do you know that each year, more than six million animals enter the doors of rescue organizations, with a heartbreaking statistic of over a million facing euthanasia? Having spent years in the field, we've witnessed the incredible efforts of the fourteen thousand rescue organizations nationwide. Yet, despite their unwavering dedication, the constant inflow of animals stretches resources and staff beyond their capacity to provide the care they know is needed.
To tackle these challenges, we've embraced a different perspective and approach, leading to the creation of Trusted Rescue. Our platform simplifies the connection between rescue organizations and individual donors who share a profound love for animals. It lets donors follow the journey of the animals they support and empowers them to truly champion their chosen cause.
