Helping homeless companion animals also helps people, often in miraculous ways

Mutual Rescue’s films, book, and programs illustrate how “mutual” and “rescue” so often converge when people help homeless companion animals.

Programs

Mutual Rescue’s programs are designed for animal shelters, rescue groups, and others helping homeless companion animals in their communities.

Doggy Day Out

Mutual Rescue’s Doggy Day Out is a short-term foster program where the public can take dogs from local shelters on day outings. A Doggy Day Out can include a hike, a trip to a beach or lake, or even a sleepover. These field trips help shelter dogs manage kennel stress, burn off energy, and get more exposure to potential adopters. It’s a great excuse to get out and have fun with a canine sidekick.

Mutual Rescue offers its films for approved off-line events that benefit local animal-welfare organizations. We encourage animal shelters and rescue groups, community organizations, businesses, charities, foundations, social services, libraries, schools, and animal-loving individuals to design Mutual Rescue film events for community engagement, fundraising, and education.
