Home > AF Cares

We founded our community in 1999 to promote fairness to animals and animal rescue. Our goal is to find each and every sheltered animal a loving home. When we started, over 12 million sheltered animals were being euthanized yearly. Since then, that number has reportedly dropped to 5 million.

At Animal Fair AF Cares, you can find information about volunteering at a local shelter where you can make a difference. Our intention is to promote people and organizations that are going above and beyond to provide a better place in the world for animals.

We invite you to submit your shelter’s information and a heartwarming story about one particular rescue animal for our “Mutt Makeover™” contest! When entering the “Mutt Makeover™” contest, we request “before” and “after” shelter photos of the rescued animal (including names, breed), whether or not the pet has been adopted or still needs a home, and the rescue story.

We will feature one weekly winner, including their story and photos, on our site. After reviewing all submitted rescue tails, one lucky dog and their guardian will win the “Mutt Makeover” Grand Prize, a pet friendly trip to New York City!

Join our celebrity friends Charlize Theron, Renee Zellweger, Drew Barrymore, Halle Berry and many other big-hearted celebrities that have already adopted and rescued sheltered pets. If you want to help but can’t adopt, please donate to a local shelter in your community. Let’s make every community a ‘no kill’ community.
