Non-profit animal shelters help rescue and care for homeless and abused animals.
While many people treat their pets like family members, some animals are treated cruelly and subjected to horrible living conditions. Sometimes, these creatures are successfully rescued through the efforts of non-profit animal shelters, established for improving animal welfare. Such shelters and rescue homes survive mainly through donations, volunteer work and grants from animal organizations and individuals.
American Humane Association Grants
The American Humane Association provides grants to certified shelters and rescue groups.
The American Humane Association provides grants for animal welfare and safety, from two main sources. The Meacham Foundation Memorial Grant offers thousands of dollars for equipment and building improvements, for shelters. Requests may be made in January and February, only. The second source is the Second Chance Fund. The grant is given only to member rescue groups and shelters, for temporary upkeep of animals waiting for adoption.
