Make a Leadership Gift


Leadership Partners receive access and benefits to see how they enhance the well-being of animals in need. Year after year, our Leadership Partners demonstrate a level of generosity that is truly transformative for the lives they touch. We warmly welcome you to join a compassionate community of like-minded friends who share the same commitment to animals and believe together in elevating the lives of animals and the people who love them.

"As a lifelong animal lover, I admire the work Dakin does to support pets and the people who love them. From pet food assistance programs to the spay/neuter clinic, I know our donation makes a difference to our neighbors and the entire region." — Kathy Osborne, Dakin Leadership Partner

Heartstring Circle

Compassion and care for pets and people have been woven throughout our history, tied together by a common thread — love without condition.

The gifts made by our Leadership, Legacy, and Guardian Partners are bound by the same heartstring, connecting a community of supporters who make it possible for us to evolve and meet the changing needs of pets and people, while breaking barriers to accessible pet care.

Through the generosity of our Heartstring Circle, the vision of a world where services that support the human-animal bond are accessible to all and companion animals are no longer vulnerable becomes a reality.
