Pets & Vets

Pets for Vets provides a second chance for both our returning veterans and needy shelter dogs. These animals can make excellent companions but might not have that chance and our brave soldiers receive a second chance at health and happiness. The bonds of friendship formed between man and animal have the power to ease the suffering of our troops when they return from overseas.

Disaster Response: Help Pets Now

Disaster Response: Help Pets Now

Animals need rescuing when faced with storms, floods, fires, or earthquakes, just like people. They may need physical rescue from flood waters or debris. They may need immediate medical attention for burns, dehydration, or lack of food. They may lose their homes, their families and need to relocate.

Rainforest Trust Habitat Protection

Rainforest Trust helps to purchase and protect threatened tropical forests and critical habitat for endangered wildlife by partnering with local and community organizations in and around the threatened areas. After safeguarding the endangered land, Rainforest Trust empowers local people to help protect it by offering them education, training and employment.

Care Packs For Homeless Veterans & Their Pets

Care Packs For Homeless Veterans & Their Pets

Tragically, homelessness is a major problem affecting America’s veterans. Due to a lack of affordable housing, limited post-service job opportunities, and inadequate care for veterans with physical or mental conditions, tens of thousands of men and women who once heroically protected our country now find themselves in poverty on American streets, needing assistance for even basic essentials until they can get back on their feet.

One Picture Saves a Life

One Picture Saves a Life

The One Picture Saves A Life program teaches shelters and volunteers how to groom an animal for photography, take pictures with the right lighting, location, and technology, and more, working toward the very best chance of adoption. With more and more adoptions beginning online, a photo that really shows the personality of a pet is more likely to get noticed.

Community Cats

These "community cats" are often fed and cared for by members of the community, but the cost of spaying/neutering and vaccinating community cats are often out of reach for these kind caregivers. Greater Good Charities partners with Emancipet's Northeast Philly clinic to help these community cats in Philadelphia.

Egg Laying Hens

Egg Laying Hens

Greater Good Charities helps provide hens to families and students in need. These chickens change lives! One hen lays an egg each day, providing a reliable source of protein for hungry people. The chickens also fertilize gardens, helping families grow more vegetables to include in their diet.

Matenwa School in Haiti

Matenwa School in Haiti
