Happy Birthday Animal Rescue Site | Send Presents to Dogs & Cats

Celebrate good times come on! The Animal Rescue Site is turning 24 & it's also the birthday for shelter and rescue animals who don't have known birthdates! So we’re throwing the biggest birthday bash for the real VIPs — the cats and dogs in shelters who need a little extra love.

Our friend Piglet is having a paw-ty with his new favorite toy!

For shelters saving thousands of pet lives every year, covering just the basics — food, medical care, shelter — stretches every dollar. That means there’s often no room in the budget for "fun stuff" like toys and treats. But what’s a birthday party without a few presents?

Your donation helps send "paw-ty supplies" — like tasty treats and playful toys — to shelter pets who deserve a reason to wag, purr, and celebrate. These goodies aren’t just cute extras — they’re mood boosters, anxiety relievers, and tail-wag triggers that help animals feel calm, loved, and ready to meet their future families.

Because a relaxed, happy pet is one that shines — and shines their way straight into a forever home.

Impact Stories:

Marigold couldn't sit still when she saw all her new toys and treats she received! She was having fun and playing right away thanks to people like you who are making her shelter stay more enjoyable.

Every toy and treat that is sent is greatly appreciated by dogs, cats and shelters alike!

One of the most meaningful benefits of this donation was the joy and comfort it brought to the families we serve. Many of the families in Operation Foster's program are navigating extraordinary challenges, including military deployments, medical crises, financial hardship, housing instability, or other life-altering circumstances. During these periods of uncertainty, even small gestures can have a profound impact. Being able to provide pets with special treats, new toys, and comfort items helped create positive experiences for both the animals and their owners.

Thanks to donations from people like you, our rescue pups have treats to reward them. For tricks, and good behavior. Mostly just for being cuties. Reina the chihuahua was sooo excited to try the new biscuits.

Never mind that they were bigger than her head. She was all in! Reina and her 3 sisters were found as strays in need of medical care. Now they are healthy and adventurous! They are definitely enjoying the biscuits and cookies that were donated. Even if it takes all afternoon.

Cheeto is an affectionate boy who gets so excited during interactions that he sometimes struggles to regulate his emotions. The Café Nara lickable treats have been a great tool in helping Cheeto manage his excitement. 

Since he’s highly food-motivated, these treats keep him engaged and focused, allowing him to enjoy enrichment without becoming overstimulated. 

Petey, an 8 month old kitten, came into Kitten Korner Rescue with an eye injury. He was taken to their vet and an eye specialist to have his eyelid repaired. It was a preexisting injury to his eye when they took possession of him. A portion of his eye lid was missing causing his fur to rub on his eye causing inflammation.

After receiving surgery, he got lots of rest and snuggles with some favorite toys by his side. He is healing well an his vision is intact!
