A surprise diagnosis. A behavior that appears out of nowhere. A vet bill with the worst possible timing. For too many families, one hard moment is all it takes to turn forever into an impossible choice.
We don’t think it should be. Adoption isn’t the finish line — it’s the start of something we’re in for the long haul. The Together Forever Program is here for the moments nobody plans for, with two dedicated funds built to do one thing: keep pets right where they belong.
Our two funds.
For eligible Rescue Network adopters, when the unexpected happens — based on available funding.
Arthur’s Fund
When illness or injury strikes out of nowhere, no family should have to weigh love against a bill. Arthur’s Fund helps eligible adopters cover unexpected veterinary costs for their Rescue Network pet — so care can come first.

Mookie’s Fund
Leash reactivity, separation anxiety, fear, or the basics that never quite clicked — most behavior challenges are fixable with the right coaching. Mookie’s Fund helps eligible adopters get professional training and support, before a rough patch ever becomes a goodbye.

Assistance depends on available funding and eligibility, and applies to pets adopted from Rescue Network. We can’t promise help in every case — but keeping pets and their people together is the entire point of these funds.
Keep families together.
Every gift to the Together Forever Program carries a family through a hard moment — and keeps one more pet home. That’s the whole mission.
Adopt from Rescue Network and you get more than a pet — you get a team that’s rooting for you both. Because every adoption deserves the chance to become a real, lasting, tail-wagging forever home.
