Rockit is part of a special pack, and his humans always show up for their community. Let's follow that example! No donation is too small to make an impact. 🌞🐾🌻

IT’S OUR FEBRUARY MUTUAL AID DAY! Today, we’re sending funds directly to pet owners in need. 🚨 if you’ve never received funds from us 🚨 please drop your Venmo handle in the comments. We’re sending $75 direct payments to anyone that owns a pet today until we’ve hit our cap. We are asking for requests from first-time recipients only this month.

At this time, we can only use Venmo, not CashApp or other platforms, for payments. Please share so folks can take advantage of this opportunity! ❤️‍🔥

01/11/2022

🚨 UPDATE 🚨 REQUESTS ARE CLOSED FOR TODAY! Please follow for our next mutual aid day in February.

PLEASE READ DIRECTIONS IN FULL:

Today is our second mutual aid day, and we’re giving away funds directly to pet owners in need. We’re dispersing funds today, and if you own a pet, we want to help you. We’ll send out $100 direct payments until we’ve hit our cap for the day, all you need to do is drop your venmo handle in the comments. As always, we do prioritize our most marginalized community members, so BIPOC, trans + gender non-conforming, and disabled pet owners move to the front of the line! Please share so your anyone in your network can take advantage of our mutual aid day.

We will turn off commenting when we’ve hit our cap for the day, and don’t worry, we will do this again each month until we’ve run out of funds!

11/24/2021

The past 1.5 years have brought a lot of growth, reflection, and introspection for so many. We’ve made the decision to move in a different direction as an organization, after almost 12 years of volunteer service to our community. With growth comes the ability to evaluate our own actions, and decide the best path for us moving forward. We can do so much good, and still reflect on our actions. We know that not everyone will agree with this direction, and that’s okay. All we can do is encourage everyone to examine their own lives through the lens of the systemic issues and injustices that plague our communities.

While we may not be operating our CDRC in its current form any longer, we believe this approach will continue to help community members and their pets just as much, perhaps even more. We hope you’ll support us in this move, and know how grateful we are for your support in our mission over the years. Thank you, thank you, thank you. ♥️

Unique foster opportunity!

Riddley (pictured) is a 13 year old Merle Australian Shepherd that is good with dogs, cats, and kiddos. His mom, Jill is working overseas for the next year and hoping someone can show him some love while she's gone. She will provide heartworm/flea/tick meds and cover any medical bills throughout the year. This sweet boy is crate trained (but doesn't need to sleep in it), leash trained, and loves belly rubs. He enjoys seeing the world and even spent 2019 in Alaska hiking with his mom, but also content with a day spent napping and cuddling.

We know this is a unique situation but Jill is happy to answer any questions you may have. You can contact her at [email protected].

Not able to foster? Please share and help spread the word!

Keeping pets in the home

Saving Sunny was founded in 2010 as a rescue + foster organization. Now, we assist pet owners with the ability to keep their dogs from ever entering the shelter system in the first place, through basic resources, advocacy, and education.

We have found that surrendering a dog to an animal shelter is often a last resort for loving families who may be living in a historically disenfranchised community and be struggling to find resources + assistance to care for their pets. Our Community Dog Resource Center, founded in 2014, is designed to lessen the flow of dogs into the municipal shelter by giving a helping hand to those in need. We believe that everyone is deserving of the companionship of a pet. Saving Sunny also continues to rescue dogs on a small scale, offers support to our municipal shelters through our CDRC, behavior, and courtesy posting programs, and provides education and advocacy through public events and campaigns.
