From across the United States, shelter dogs who are too high-energy to thrive in typical family homes are recruited by SDF and given the chance to find who they are meant to be. Will they graduate search training and rescue people after disasters? Find fulfillment in another working dog career? Maybe they’re the beloved companion a more active pet home has been looking for.
We can’t wait to find out, but we need help getting them there! The Rachael Ray Rescue Brigade campaign is focused on doing exactly that—supporting the Search Dog Foundation to give dogs from America’s shelters the life they deserve in the place they are meant to be.
This year’s campaign aims to raise $575,000 by September 15 and we hope you’ll join the cause!
The Rachael Ray Foundation™ has generously granted $300,000 to get us more than halfway to our goal.
Your dollars will enable SDF to:
- Continue our outreach to over 200 shelters and rescues across the country to find, evaluate and transport more dogs to our National Training Center.
- Train our canine recruits to search for survivors and aid the work of rescue crews.
- Find them the alternate placement of their choice if it turns out disaster search isn’t for them.
- Care for these high-drive dogs throughout their lives. From providing daily essentials to funding medical treatments, SDF ensures all dogs in our family receive excellent care and never need to be rescued again.
You can support these four-legged recruits by making a life-saving gift to the Search Dog Foundation before September 15.
Together, we can recruit more rescued dogs and secure their place in our SDF family as the happy, fulfilled dogs they are meant to be.
The Rachael Ray Foundation™ (RRF) is is one of our most generous supporters. The Foundation is funded by the proceeds from the sale of Rachael Ray™ Nutrish®. Through February 2022, more than $66 million dollars has been donated to animal charities and other organizations through The Rachael Ray Foundation and its predecessor entity.
We are thrilled that The Rachael Ray Rescue Brigade will shine a spotlight for the seventh consecutive year on this vital part of our mission and excited for the fund’s ability to directly impact the number of homeless dogs that will be given a lifetime of care as part of our SDF family.
