Since 1987, RedRover's donors, supporters, and volunteers have changed the lives of countless animals. Based in Sacramento, California, RedRover’s programs help animals and people in crisis throughout the United States. We bring together passionate individuals and create a network of people and organizations dedicated to alleviating suffering and strengthening the bond between people and animals. RedRover does this through the following programs:
RedRover is a national animal welfare organization. Our mission is to bring animals out of crisis and strengthen the bond between people and animals through emergency sheltering, disaster relief services, financial assistance, and education.
We do not receive any government funding. Instead, we partner with caring individuals and organizations to help fulfill our vision of making the world a better place for pets and the people who love them. With your help, we will:
- Continue providing financial assistance and other resources for local pets who need lifesaving veterinary care through our RedRover Relief Urgent Care grant program
- Help local domestic violence survivors escape abuse with their pets through our RedRover Relief domestic violence assistance program
- Increase outreach and participation for the RedRover Readers program, a social and emotional learning program that helps children develop critical thinking skills and empathy for both people and animals, including partnerships with local organizations like the Sacramento Native American Health Center
- Grow our Northern California RedRover Responders volunteer base – individuals who are specially trained to care for and shelter large numbers of animals after they have been rescued from cruelty and neglect or natural disasters
- Build partnerships with other Northern California organizations so we can work together to care for animals when they need us most
RedRover recognizes the deep systemic racism within the animal welfare sector. Our mission is to help animals in crisis and strengthen our relationships with animals – but the lives of animals do not exist in a vacuum. We cannot fully and effectively help animals without looking deeply at ourselves and how we treat one another. Therefore, we see diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging as integral and vital to the success of our mission, as well as to the well-being of our staff, volunteers, and the people and communities we serve.
RedRover is committed to examining the way we do our work and accomplish our mission with the goal of increasing diversity, equity, inclusion, and sense of belonging. RedRover is committed to working in stronger partnership with the people and communities we serve and actively seeking representation from those communities for our governing Board of Directors and for our staff and volunteers.
More specifically:
- We respect and value diverse life experiences and heritages and work to ensure that all voices are valued and heard.
- We will engage in ongoing learning and examining our own biases.
- We are committed to nondiscrimination, providing equal opportunity for employment and advancement, and ensuring our internal review and promotion practices are equitable.
- We will create and maintain diverse and equitable work environments with a strong sense of safety and belonging for our staff and volunteers.
- We are committed to modeling diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging for the animal welfare sector and encouraging those with whom we work closely to make this commitment with us.
