The next life we save may depend on your gift this Giving Tuesday DECEMBER 1ST…

I wish you could see every moment your kindness makes possible: the hungry dog finally resting with a full stomach, the animal whose pain begins to ease, the family meeting the companion they will love for years. You are part of every one of those moments. Thank you for the more than 75,000 lives you have already helped us save. Please help us say “yes” to the next one by donating this Giving Tuesday.

Our Mission

Wright-Way Rescue has been a pioneer in the field of animal welfare for over 20 years when we began rescuing homeless animals from underserved, rural areas and finding them loving forever homes. The problem of pet overpopulation in Rural America is dire and virtually undocumented, and we believe that helping these remote communities is critical to the national No-Kill movement. We work with over 120 rescue partners throughout the rural US to saves and provides resources for approximately 5,000 lives every year on approximately 10% of the budget of similarly sized organizations. We are committed to stretching every donated “dollar” as far as it can go.
