Major Donor & Philanthropy

Whether you're an individual philanthropist, business owner, animal lover, or foundation, your partnership enables us to continue vital, boots-on-the-ground rescue work. Your gift makes a high-impact difference.

Your support is tax-deductible, impactful, and personal.

Every year, we care for dogs with severe medical and behavioral needs—many of whom are unadoptable due to past trauma, neglect, or aggression. Your gift as a leadership-level donor allows us to:

Provide urgent veterinary care and lifelong sanctuary
Train and evaluate LGDs in real farm and ranch settings
Expand our livestock rescue and conservation programs
Educate the public on ethical working dog ownership
Prevent euthanasia of misunderstood working breeds
