Project Report | Aug 28, 2025
Together through life's hardest moments

By Diane Tillotson | Marketing Director

Thanks to your support, Project Keep Me continues to provide assistance for those facing unthinkable challenges—ensuring that no one has to choose between their own safety and the well-being of their pet.

Recently, we were contacted by an attorney and domestic violence advocate on behalf of a veteran who had fled an abusive situation in another state. Homeless and in crisis, the veteran and their two dogs had been surviving by camping in national parks, where they could stay for free due to veteran status. Now in our area seeking housing and employment, they needed urgent help to keep their beloved dogs safe during this difficult transition.

Through Project Keep Me, we were able to welcome both dogs into our care, providing temporary shelter, food, and veterinary support as needed. By stepping in, we not only kept these pets safe but also gave their owner the chance to focus on rebuilding their life without the devastating choice of surrendering them.

This case highlights how critical and far-reaching Project Keep Me has become. What began as a program for survivors of domestic violence is now also serving veterans in crisis—thanks to your generosity. Together, we are keeping families together and offering hope when it is needed most.
