Transparency
Transparency matters to us. This page explains how Right Fit Rescue operates, how funds are used, and what we can and cannot provide. Clear expectations help us serve animals and our community responsibly.
Organizational Status & Governance
This section explains how Right Fit Rescue is structured and how decisions are made. Our focus is on responsible stewardship, safety, and sustainability.

What We Do Not Fund
We share this clearly to set expectations and avoid delays in urgent situations. Our resources are limited and must be used for animals in our care.
We do not fund
- Veterinary care for privately owned animals
- Veterinary care for animals in other rescues or organizations
- Reimbursement for veterinary expenses
- Guaranteed funding for specific treatments
- Emergency veterinary services for the public
If you need help now
If cost is the main barrier, there may still be options through clinics, voucher programs, or financial assistance organizations.
- Use low-cost clinic and voucher resources where available
- Ask your veterinarian about estimates and payment options
- Seek emergency veterinary care for urgent injuries or distress
Partnerships & External Resources
Right Fit Rescue works with a range of veterinarians, clinics, and community organizations. These relationships help us share information and coordinate care, but each organization operates independently.
How We Work With Partners
- We may refer or share information about clinics and programs
- We coordinate care for animals in our custody when appropriate
- We communicate expectations clearly with service providers
What Partnerships Do Not Mean
- No control over pricing, availability, or scheduling
- No guarantee of appointments or funding
- No endorsement beyond information sharing
Resource Sharing
Information about clinics, voucher programs, and assistance organizations is shared to help people navigate options responsibly.
- Availability and eligibility vary
- Policies may change without notice
