Celebrate Giving Tuesday with Pet Protect & Connect: Win $500 for Your Favorite Animal Rescue!

As the holiday season begins, we’re excited to announce that Pet Protect & Connect is giving $500 to a non-profit animal rescue for Giving Tuesday! This global day of generosity is about making a difference, and for us, it’s a chance to support the incredible animal rescues working tirelessly to give pets a second chance.

What is Giving Tuesday?

Started in 2012, Giving Tuesday is celebrated every Tuesday after Thanksgiving, following the biggest shopping days of the year—Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Instead of shopping for deals, this day encourages us to “pay it forward” by supporting causes we care about. It’s a great reminder that the holiday season isn’t just about gifts, it’s also about giving back.

For us, Giving Tuesday is an ideal time to support animal rescues and promote pet adoption. By raising awareness and funds for shelters, we can help them continue the crucial work of rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming animals in need.

Why Giving to Animal Rescues Matters

In the U.S. alone, almost a million adoptable dogs and cats are euthanized each year simply because shelters lack the resources to house and care for them. Non-profit animal rescues are often the last line of defense, providing essential care, rehabilitation, and shelter for pets with nowhere else to go. Many animal rescues' operations rely heavily on donations and volunteers, making Giving Tuesday support especially impactful.

Donating to animal rescues contributes to life-saving resources like food, medical care, and shelter. Every dollar is crucial to rescues’ success in connecting pets with loving adopters and helps keep animals safe and supported while waiting for their forever homes.

How to Get Involved

This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to join us in making a difference. Here are a few ways to show your support for your favorite animal rescue:

Nominate your favorite rescue to win $500! To enter, just follow Pet Protect & Connect on Instagram, tag the rescue you want to support, and share our any of our Giving Tuesday posts in your story. We’ll be choosing one rescue to receive the donation!

Donate directly to your local shelter or rescue. Your donation goes a long way to providing food, medical care, and other essentials for animals awaiting adoption.

Spread the word. Help raise awareness about the importance of pet adoption and the role of animal rescues. The more people who know, the more support these organizations receive!

Volunteer your time. Shelters always need extra hands, whether for walking dogs, socializing cats, cleaning kennels, or helping with events. Even a few hours can make a difference!

Encourage pet adoption. If you or someone you know is ready to adopt a pet, consider working with your local rescue. By choosing to adopt, you’re directly supporting the mission of animal rescues and helping reduce overpopulation and euthanasia.

Why We’re Giving Back

At Pet Protect & Connect, supporting rescues and the work they do to find loving homes for pets is essential to our mission. Our goal is to create lasting connections between animals and their adopters, helping to make the adoption process as smooth and efficient as possible. By giving back on Giving Tuesday, we can contribute to these efforts and help more rescues continue their essential work.

This Giving Tuesday, let’s make a difference for the animals and the rescuers who give their all. Join us in celebrating by nominating your favorite animal rescue and supporting these vital organizations however you can.

Let’s make this Giving Tuesday one to remember for animal rescues across the country!
