Because Every paw counts

We’re a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. All donations are tax-deductible.

Your support fuels our mission. It Takes A Village is 100% community-funded, and most of our donations are $500 or less — but they add up to life-saving care for over 11,000 animals and counting. Your generosity helps us cover vet bills, food, shelter, and so much more.
