United States
Nationwide animal help
Doing Big Things accepts animal-help requests across the United States. We triage the situation, keep ownership of the case, and coordinate the right next step based on the animal, location, urgency, safety, applicable law, and available qualified resources.
How help works
The method changes. The door stays open.
Submitting a report does not guarantee pickup, a response time, direct field response, funding, or placement. It does mean the request can enter one shared intake and coordination process.
DBT direct response
Where a qualified DBT responder is available and authorized.
Remote guidance and case coordination
Safety guidance, information gathering, follow-up, and ownership of the next step.
Foster coordination
Temporary, emergency, medical, recovery, or longer-term placements matched to approved caregivers.
Transport coordination
Qualified drivers, safe handoffs, and relays when distance is part of the problem.
Veterinary coordination
Connection to appropriate licensed veterinary care based on urgency and availability.
Verified partner response
Shelters, rescues, transporters, specialists, and other qualified organizations.
Wildlife and public-safety escalation
Licensed rehabilitators, animal control, law enforcement, public health, and wildlife agencies.
Marine network coordination
Authorized marine-stranding and federal networks retain legal response authority.
What stays internal
Detailed responder availability, permits, species restrictions, partner capacity, foster addresses, facility capacity, and exact sensitive locations guide routing internally. They do not decide whether someone is allowed to ask for help.
