Who We Are

Animal Fund of America is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, volunteer-driven animal rescue organization dedicated to protecting, rehabilitating, and finding forever homes for animals in need. Since our founding, we've remained entirely donation-funded, with every dollar directly supporting animal welfare initiatives including shelter support, medical treatment, nutritious food, and rescue outreach.

Our work is carried forward by a passionate community of volunteers, animal lovers, and generous benefactors. It is their compassion and dedication that empower us to respond where help is needed most—often during moments of crisis, displacement, or abandonment.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple but powerful: to provide urgent care and ongoing support to animals in need—and to empower the communities and shelters that serve them. We do this by:

  • Offering financial grants and in-kind resources to local shelters and rescue organizations.

  • Supporting veterinary clinics and food suppliers to ensure animals receive consistent, high-quality care.

  • Providing direct aid to individuals and families struggling to keep their pets during tough times.

We believe that every pet deserves safety, dignity, and a loving home—regardless of breed, background, or circumstance.

What Makes Us Different

Unlike larger institutions, we are grassroots by design. We maintain:

  • 100% volunteer operation – no paid administrative staff.

  • Transparent fund allocation – donations go directly to programs, not overhead.

  • Responsive support – we act quickly in emergencies to deliver help where it's most needed.

Our strength lies in our agility, empathy, and the tight-knit community that sustains our mission.
