Cars4Pets: Turning Donated Cars Into Care for Animals

Cars4Pets® — Finding Homes and Filling Bowls for Pets in Need

Cars4Pets® works to improve animal welfare with free and low-cost adoptions, vaccinations, spay-neuter services, pet food pantries, and advocacy for animal rights. Each year over six million pets land in shelters hoping for a meal and a loving family — and most require spay-neuter care and vaccinations before they can move on to their next home.
