Dog Rescue, Foster & Rehome Initiative

CECDFW’s human–animal support programs help individuals facing medical, mental-health, and socioeconomic crises keep their beloved pets during life’s most challenging moments.

We provide temporary crisis pet boarding for individuals entering or navigating:

  • Hospital stays

  • Mental-health stabilization

  • Substance-use rehab

  • Domestic-violence relocation

  • Emergency homelessness

  • Short-term incarceration

  • Eviction or sudden displacement

What We Offer

By keeping animals safe, fed, and loved during these transitions, we prevent emotional trauma, reduce mental-health decline, and remove one of the biggest barriers preventing people from accessing treatment, safety, and stability.

Additional human-support services include:

  • Emergency pet-food assistance

  • Low-cost vet-care navigation

  • ESA guidance for qualifying individuals

  • Lost-and-found reunification

  • Behavior & enrichment support

  • Nature-deficit wellness education

 

These programs promote stability, emotional wellbeing, and improved quality of life for individuals and families.

​

​

*** Services are dependent on availability, safety assessments, and organizational capacity. Temporary boarding may not always be available, and no-cost support is determined on a case-by-case basis. Certain situations, behavioral needs, medical requirements, or resource limitations may prevent us from accepting an animal at a given time. We encourage individuals to contact us as early as possible so we can explore options together and help connect you to additional resources if possible.***
