Wags for Good

Support for dogs. Relief for families.

What is Wags for Good?

Wags for Good is our community impact initiative dedicated to supporting dogs and the families who love them, beyond adoption. We believe no one should have to surrender their pet or face the unthinkable simply because they can’t afford care during a crisis. Through a range of services, Wags for Good bridges the gap between need and access—keeping families together, reducing shelter intake, and saving lives.

Los Angeles

  • We provide life-saving veterinary care for dogs whose families are facing sudden, unaffordable medical expenses. By stepping in during these critical moments, we help prevent unnecessary euthanasia and shelter surrenders

  • Whether it’s wildfire evacuations or natural disasters, Wags for Good enables us to respond quickly with supplies, shelter, and transportation — supporting both dogs and their owners when a crisis strikes.

  • We increase access to free, high-quality pet food and supplies for low-income pet parents by serving families directly and partnering with community organizations that support families with pets throughout Los Angeles and Nashville.
