More Information

We come from various backgrounds: students and teachers, clubs and civic leaders, young and old. And we have one thing in common: a commitment to saving the lives of homeless pets. We are the Homeless Pets Foundation, a 100% volunteer-run organization dedicated to promoting responsible pet ownership while placing adoptable dogs and cats in forever homes.

Dr. Michael Good, owner of Town & Country Veterinary Clinic – now renamed Beyond Pets Animal Hospital, founded the organization when he saw first-hand the need to get adoptable pets out of overcrowded shelters to prevent unnecessary euthanasia. Since our inception in 1998, our organization has rescued and adopted over 25,000 dogs and cats!

Financial donations are greatly appreciated, and 100% of your donations will go to the medical care of placing our rescue animals in their forever home.

Thank you for visiting us, and we greatly appreciate your support.

Michael Good DVM,
Founder
