  • Educate the public on compassionate, evidence-based standards for animal rescue, foster, and adoption care.

  • Amplify the urgent need for pet-friendly domestic violence shelters and connect survivors with existing co-sheltering resources.

Our Vision

To actualize Jeannessa’s world where all pets and their humans are treated with dignity and respect.

  • Building bridges: We are an organization that unites- we connect those in need to the specific organizations and resources that will help them.

  • No bullshit: We don’t sugarcoat- we recognize reality as it is and step in to do our best to help in the most direct way possible.

  • Showing up: We stick to our word, follow through, and provide a consistent resource for connecting people & pets to appropriate help.

  • Unapologetic joy: In Jeannessa’s spirit, we celebrate with events that have a jubilant atmosphere, uplifting the love and pride people have for their animals.

  • Kindness and compassion for all regardless of race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, differing abilities, neurodivergence, political affiliation, income level, interests, or anything that makes a person or pet unique.

  • All pets- and their owners- thrive!
