“The Glue for Our Family”Dusty’s Happy Tail
Not long after moving into a new house, William and Ariel lost one of their cats to a urinary blockage. Then, their senior cat experienced a series of urinary issues before being diagnosed with and succumbing to cancer. They had just welcomed a baby when their surviving cat, Dusty, began experiencing unusual urinary symptoms. With so much change in the home, paying for Dusty’s treatment was proving to be a burden. Ariel went online and applied to the RedRover Relief Urgent Care grant program, imploring that “Even a small amount would make a huge difference in our ability to stay afloat and prevent the loss of another animal from our household.” When it comes to making a huge difference for pets and families in crisis, we can always count on

Hundreds of Dogs Helped through RedRover Responders
In August, our RedRover Responders staff and volunteers traveled to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to help the Humane Society of Tulsa with an alleged cruelty case. With more than 300 Maltese dogs and puppies in need of care, our team worked diligently to make sure they were given the attention and support they needed. Our daily tasks included preparing meals and feeding, cleaning cages and kennels, grooming, and our favorite part – providing plenty of chin scratches and belly rubs.

Supporting Children Through Trauma with Humane Education
For many children, pets are not just companions – they are protectors, confidants, and emotional lifelines in homes marked by instability or abuse. When that bond is disrupted by violence, children suffer deeply, and the trauma can have lasting effects. Explore the link between domestic violence and animal cruelty, its impact on children, and how shelters can play a role in breaking the cycle through humane education. By integrating programs like RedRover Readers, we can build empathy and resilience in children while promoting safety for both people and pets.
