Program Summary
Meet the TagsforHope® Grant Program! Registered charities in Canada and the United States, shelters and rescue groups with a CRA registration number or 501(c)(3) status, can receive up to $1,000 per animal for an emergency: a case where, without help, the animal might be euthanized or might not make it. The funds can go to treatment, transport, or essential supplies and fees. We may ask for receipts or invoices.
We aim to decide within 24 hours for urgent cases, as funds allow. A request includes photos and a short video of the animal, and about four weeks after the grant we ask for a follow-up with an update and a few more photos. Those become the stories we share with TagsforHope® customers, and the support they bring lets us fund more grants.
Grant Eligibility
- Pets That Require Emergency Funding (Without the grant they might be a candidate for euthanasia or could perish)

Tonka
Made possible through partnerships with Animal Humane New Mexico Rescue and Champion Petfoods.
Tonka, a 2-year-old Chihuahua mix was hit by a car in July, 2019. The doc said his right hind leg needed amputation and his pelvic fracture will take a lot of healing time.
The county could not accommodate him, so Tonka became a candidate for euthanasia.
Animal Humane New Mexico center took him in, treated his injuries, performed the surgery and gave him a second chance at a happy, healthy life.
The TagsforHope® Grant Program covered the costs of Tonka’s surgery, medications, radiographs and post-operation check-ups.
Brutus
Made possible through partnerships with Toledo Animal Rescue and Champion Petfoods
Brutus is a 3 years old Pug/Chihuahua mix.
The rescue center he was staying at knew he suffered from large growths and infections in each of his ear canals which caused him discomfort, frequent infections, and head shaking.
Without surgery, he was looking at permanent ear damage and the likelihood of compassionate euthanasia.
The TagsforHope® Grant Program covered Brutus’s surgery along with recovery costs.
