Athena was abandoned. Sick and afraid, she was struggling simply to survive. Today, she's healthy, happy...and loved.

Since 2011, City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue has been a lifeline for animals like Athena who had lost all hope. Each year, with the help of our generous community and more than 500 dedicated volunteers, CDCK finds loving, adoptive homes for 1000+ dogs and cats, many of whom were within hours of scheduled euthanasia simply due to lack of space or funds. These innocent animals come to us mainly from rural parts of the Southeast. They have very different stories, but they all have two things in common: each was suffering in an overcrowded, overwhelmed shelter, and each deserved a chance at a happy life.

We give them that chance. We transport them to the DC area where our trained and loving foster parents care for them and heal their wounds, both physical and emotional. Then we find them a family who will love them...forever. Last year, 1299 pets found hope, love, and new lives this way. It's why we've been awarded Best of DC for non-profits seven times.

Will you help us to help them? No amount is too small to make a difference to a dog or cat who is counting on you. We--and they-- are so grateful for your help.

We are a 501c3 charity. For more information about us: www.CityDogsRescueDC.org
