The Chesed Foundation Rescue is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming unwanted pets while providing essential support to local animals and their owners in need. Our name, translated from Hebrew as loving kindness, defines our commitment to acting on behalf of those who cannot help themselves.
Born from a vision to intervene in the shelter system and provide a second chance for discarded pets, Chesed has been active for over two decades. Since our incorporation as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2004, we have remained steadfast in our goal to provide quality veterinary care and find permanent, loving homes for thousands of animals.
We are a 100% volunteer-run organization without a physical shelter facility. Instead, the heart of our rescue is our amazing network of foster families who provide a safe, nurturing environment for pets to thrive while they receive medical care and wait for their perfect match.
We believe that adoption is a joyful, lifelong commitment between a pet and their new family. Because our animals have often been uprooted from their past lives, we focus on thoughtful, stable matches that ensure a secure future for every dog and cat in our care. Our transparent process, including vet checks and home visits, is designed to support you as a pet guardian and set your new companion up for success.
We invite you to experience the life-changing magic of rescue by exploring our current adoptable animals. Whether you are ready to open your home to a new furry friend or interested in supporting our mission through volunteering, you are an essential part of the Chesed family.
