A program of Doing Big Things · United States
Animal Sanctuary & Rescue
Nationwide animal help. One report starts the process.
We accept animal-help cases across the United States, triage each situation, and coordinate the right next step through qualified local resources or DBT where available and authorized — the first program of Doing Big Things.

Every report is triaged
Species, location, urgency, safety and permit requirements decide who responds — not distance alone.
What we do
Not all animal rescue is one thing
Domestic rescue, native wildlife, exotic and restricted species, and marine wildlife are different legally and operationally. The platform treats them differently — on purpose.
Domestic rescue
Dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and other companion animals — stray recovery, abandonment response, transport, foster placement and owner reunification.
Learn moreWildlife response
Native wildlife is not a pet. We triage reports and route them to permitted rehabilitators and wildlife authorities — never amateur capture.
Learn moreExotic & specialty
Restricted species, large reptiles, specialty birds and other animals that require specific legal authorization before anyone responds.
Learn moreMarine & coastal
Seals, sea lions and other marine wildlife are referred to authorized stranding networks and federal agencies.

Four steps, no account required
- 1
Tell us where
Use your location, drop a pin, or describe the spot. Exact coordinates stay private.
- 2
Tell us what you see
Pick an animal type and what's happening. You never have to identify a species correctly.
- 3
We triage for safety
Our system classifies risk and shows safe-distance guidance immediately.
- 4
It routes to the right help
Qualified responder, authorized partner, or the correct agency — based on species, location and permits.
Lost & found
Lost a pet, or found one?
Lost & found board
Post a lost or found pet with a general area — never an exact home address. Listings are reviewed before they appear publicly, and photo matching is planned for a later phase.
Open lost & foundAnimals currently in care
No public animal profiles are listed right now. Animals and cases may remain private for medical, safety, legal, foster-home, wildlife-location, reunification, or privacy reasons.
