Love Animals?
Here's How You Can Help.

You don't have to run an animal rescue to make a difference.

Whether you already support a favorite rescue, want to help animals through a monthly membership, or would love to give a rescue a new fundraising opportunity, Rescue Buddies makes it easier to turn your love for animals into meaningful support.

Choose the way you'd like to help.

Become a Rescue Buddy

A Little Monthly Support Can Make a Big Difference

Animal rescues work hard every day to care for animals who need food, shelter, medical attention, and a second chance.

Rescue Buddies memberships give animal lovers a way to help provide ongoing support while enjoying useful resources and benefits of their own.

When you join through a participating rescue's referral link, that rescue earns recurring commissions from your membership for as long as your qualifying membership remains active.

You get to enjoy being a Rescue Buddy. Your chosen rescue gets a new source of ongoing support.

Choose the Membership That Fits You

Fun Buddies

For animal lovers who want to support rescues without taking on fundraising responsibilities. Enjoy membership benefits while helping a participating rescue earn recurring support.

Fundraiser Buddies

For animal lovers who want to do a little more. Get ready-to-use fundraising ideas, guidance, and resources to help you raise funds independently in support of rescues and animal causes.

Both memberships offer a way to be part of something meaningful, whether you simply want to lend a helping paw or enjoy getting involved in fundraising.

Need a Rescue to Support?

If you already have a favorite rescue participating in our partner program, joining through its referral link is a wonderful way to support it.

Don't have a rescue to support? We'd love to introduce you to ours.

Rescue Buddies grew out of a personal commitment to caring for rescued cats. Our own rescue is one of the reasons this project exists, and it's an option for anyone who would like their membership to help animals but doesn't already have a participating rescue to support.

Visit our rescue page to learn a little about the cats, how Rescue Buddies began, and how to join through our rescue's membership referral link.

Give a Rescue a Fundraising Opportunity

A Gift That Can Keep Helping

Want to do something special for an animal rescue?

With Gift-a-Gallery, you can give a rescue its own Tribute Gallery Fundraising System, providing the tools to organize a fundraiser that honors beloved pets while raising money for animals in need.

You can purchase the gift yourself or invite friends, family, co-workers, and other animal lovers to help fund it.

The rescue receives a complete fundraising opportunity, including instructions, ready-to-use materials, and a professionally created online Tribute Gallery once its tributes are collected.

And when the Gallery is complete, it can continue growing through future Expansions.

You give the opportunity. The rescue runs the fundraiser. Rescue Buddies helps bring the Gallery to life.

Every Helping Paw Matters

You don't have to make a huge commitment, organize an event, or have fundraising experience to help animals.

Sometimes making a difference starts with something as simple as joining a membership, giving a thoughtful gift, or sharing a useful resource with a rescue.

However you choose to help, we're glad you're here. 🐾
