What We Do

RedRover staff and volunteers provide temporary emergency sheltering, resources, financial assistance and emotional support when animals and people are in crisis. We empower educators to help kids develop empathy and awareness of animals’ well-being and increase awareness about the importance of the human-animal bond.

Testimonials

  • Being a broke college student, I felt helpless with the large vet bill. When I heard that RedRover could help with a portion of Cody's vet bill for emergency surgery, it took a lot of weight off my shoulders.
