Meet Gidget. Gidget was chained up outside her whole life, living in dirt, mud and a grimy shack. In her three years of life, she was never once taken off the heavy chain or able to run and play. When her owners decided to surrender Gidget during a cold winter, her rescuers could not get her chain off. They ended up having to take the chain with her because it was embedded into her neck.

When Gidget arrived at the shelter, she was emaciated, anemic, suffering from roundworms and whipworms, and had a bad infection in her mouth. She was also heart worm positive and had fluid in her abdomen that might have been indicative of heart damage from the heart worms. While she received treatment for her various medical issues, Gidget was able to return to a healthy weight thanks to the high-quality, healthy food her shelter received through the GOODS program. 
 
In honor of the 8th annual National Feed a Rescue Pet Week, the Greater Good Charities’ GOODS Program celebrates the resilience of shelter pets like Gidget! We are calling on our community of pet lovers to donate up to 3 million meals to rescue pets across the country! Your tax-deductible gift of just $25 can ship 500 meals to rescue pets in need!
goal exceeded! 3.7 Meals provided to shelter Pets

Thanks to our partnership with The Animal Rescue Site and generous supporters, we provided 3.7 million meals during National Feed a Rescue Pet Week, surpassing our original goal of 3 million.

Feeding animals in their care is one of the most significant expenses for shelters. On average, 6.5 million animals enter shelters annually, but only 3.2 million are adopted. This means there are more animals to feed every year. After food costs, many rescues have no budget for medical treatment and adoption programs.

However, thanks to your donations, we are keeping bellies full across the country.

reba's success story
When Reba fell ill as a puppy, her owners abandoned her outside. She was discovered malnourished and in urgent need of medical attention. She was rescued and taken to an emergency vet.
 
The shelter had challenges providing Reba with the high-quality nutrition she needed. Fortunately, she received food from Greater Good Charities and The Animal Rescue Site and is now thriving and enjoying a healthy life.
