Since 2011, City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, has provided a lifeline to more than 4,900 dogs and 3,800 cats – animals that were just days or hours away from being euthanized for no reason other than lack of space. Working closely with high-kill shelters in rural communities with few resources, CDCK rescues at-risk adoptable dogs and cats and finds them loving homes. Once a dog or cat is identified, a vast network of followers and supporters (60,000+ through a variety of social media channels) raise funds for transportation to DC and for quality medical care, vaccinations, and spay/neutering procedures. A trained foster care provider offers companionship until a permanent home is found, usually thanks to social media campaigns and dynamic adoption events. Demand for these services is huge … and so are the rewards.
