The Rescue Effect: Working Together, We Save More Lives
Nearly 6 million animals entered U.S. shelters in 2025. Launching in August and continuing through October, The Rescue Effect is the ASPCA’s national campaign dedicated to helping organizations like yours increase adoptions and fosters and engage the public. It’s a ripple: When we help one animal, we help many.
