Our work
Black Dog Brigade's historic work paired hands-on support for shelter animals with advocacy for the systems around them.
Heartworm-positive dogs can face a costly, time-consuming treatment path. The organization's historic “Heal a Heart” fund was dedicated to helping cover treatment for dogs awaiting a future family.
Learn about Heal a Heart →Documented work included raising funds for essentials that can improve a shelter dog's wellbeing and help make that dog more visible to adopters and rescues.
Black dogs, senior dogs, pit bulls, and dogs with medical needs are easy to pass over. Advocacy begins with making their circumstances impossible to ignore.
The historic platform addressed cruelty law, breed-specific legislation, irresponsible breeding, and the dire conditions faced by animals in some shelters.
A clear boundary
If an animal is in immediate danger, contact local animal control or emergency services. For rescue placement or adoption, contact a licensed shelter or rescue organization in your area.
