United Animal Nations Dba Redrover

What it reported doing in 2024

Redrover relief - in 2024, redrover relief provided guidance, referrals, case management, and financial assistance to 5,810 good samaritans, animal rescuers and pet owners, helping them obtain emergency veterinary care for animals in life-threatening situations. Redrover relief case managers awarded 553 redrover relief grants, totaling $157,472 for these animals in crisis. We also awarded $45,000 to three veterinary clinics to provide grant funding directly to their clients, reducing barriers to clients receiving funding during emergency veterinary situations. Redrover relief case managers also worked with domestic violence advocates to help fleeing victims get their pets to safety. Redrover's safe escape grant program, which provides funding for urgent boarding and veterinary care for domestic violence victims' pets, provided 8,822 safe nights of boarding to 280 pets, giving 270 grants, totaling $239,247. In addition, redrover relief awarded 27 safe housing grants to domestic violence shelters, animal organizations, and homeless shelters, totaling $1,105,789. Redrover takes a long-term approach to helping domestic violence victims and their pets through these safe housing grants by giving shelters the funds and guidance needed to create permanent pet housing on-site, adjacent to, or outside the organization's shelter so that families may bring their pets directly to the shelter. Also in 2024, redrover continued its collaboration with greater good charities on the don't forget the pets (dftp) project to provide in-depth support on creating pet housing programs to communities across the country (and internationally!). This project includes a comprehensive website, training workshops and presentations (in-person and virtual), a downloadable training handbook, and a "coaching" program which provides one-on-one support to organizations. Funding received from petsmart charities in 2023 continues to support the growth and development of the dftp project.
