OUR Mission

At the heart of our mission is our Chew Toy Donation Program. We work tirelessly to collect high-quality, durable chew toys from generous supporters and distribute them to shelters in need. These toys are carefully selected for their ability to provide mental stimulation, emotional comfort, and stress relief for anxious shelter dogs. By supplying a steady stream of chew toys, we're helping to make shelter life more bearable and improving each dog's chances of finding their forever home.

Chew toys aren't just for fun – they're also powerful tools in behavioral training. Our Behavioral Training Support program provides resources and guidance to shelters on how to incorporate chew toys into their training regimens. By helping dogs develop positive behaviors and coping mechanisms, we're improving their quality of life in the shelter and increasing their chances of finding loving, permanent homes.

To ensure a steady supply of high-quality chew toys for our programs, we've forged strategic partnerships with pet stores and toy manufacturers. These collaborations are crucial to sustaining our mission and ensuring that we can continue to provide comfort and joy to as many shelter dogs as possible.

We understand that every shelter is unique, with its own set of challenges and needs. That's why we've developed our Shelter Partnership Program – to work hand-in-hand with shelters and provide tailored support. Through this program, we supply chew toys and offer educational resources, workshops, and personalized consultations. By sharing our knowledge and best practices, we empower shelter staff to make the most of our donations and create a more positive, enriching environment for their dogs.

We believe that education is key to making a lasting difference for shelter dogs. Our Community Outreach and Education program is designed to raise awareness about the needs of rescue dogs and the incredible impact of chew toys. Through social media campaigns, community events, and partnerships with pet industry leaders, we're spreading the word and inspiring more people to get involved in our cause.

At Chew Toys For Rescue, we're committed to staying at the forefront of animal welfare research. We keep a close eye on the latest studies about pet anxiety, behavior, and enrichment, using this knowledge to advocate for best practices in shelter environments. By sharing our findings and insights with our partner organizations, we're contributing to a brighter future for rescue dogs everywhere.
