Saving Animals' Lives

Signature Programs

Flights to Freedom

Flights to Freedom transport pets from overcrowded shelters where they risk euthanasia to safety in shelters where they’ll be quickly adopted.

Since the program began in 2015, Flights to Freedom – which are operated by Greater Good Charities' Good Flights with support from the Animal Rescue Site and readers like you! – have flown thousands of rescued dogs and cats to safety and adoption.

In 2021, Good Flights also began flying Save a Heart routes, which transport asymptomatic heartworm-positive shelter dogs from the South – where overcrowded shelters often lack the resources to treat sick animals – to safety in shelters where they can receive treatment and get adopted. 

Now Save a Heart flights operate in conjunction with our monthly Flights to Freedom to save even more animals' lives by flying at-risk shelter pets to safety, treatment, and adoption! Support our next flight!

 

Emergency Animal Medical 

This signature program provides shelter pets with the medical care they need to lead healthy lives and get adopted.

The Emergency Animal Medical Fund helps save animals like Penelope, an abused kitten who wound up at the shelter with a badly mangled back leg. This injury left the kitten in pain and – because many shelters lack the resources to treat sick or injured animals – at risk of euthanasia.

Fortunately, Penelope got the surgery she needed with support from The Animal Rescue Site and GreaterGood readers, whose donations helped us provide the kitten with life-saving care! Now Penelope is a happy, healthy kitten living her best life in a forever home. Click here to help us provide other sick or injured shelter pets with critical care.

 

 

 

Disaster Response: Pets  

In addition to helping shelter pets meet their daily needs, GreaterGood provides emergency aid to help animals affected by disasters.

This includes quickly distributing emergency aid to help shelters and shelter pets affected by hurricanes, tornados, floods, earthquakes, and fires; providing masks and PPE to keep vets, staff, and shelter pets safe during the pandemic; and offering pet food and supplies to refugees fleeing war zones with animals in tow. GreaterGood also helps those weathering crises closer to home by providing Good Packs/Pet Packs to help homeless people care for their pets.

GreaterGood readers play a critical role by supporting these life-saving programs, which are conducted by Greater Good Charities with support from the Animal Rescue Site. Thanks for helping us save animals' lives when disaster strikes!
