The goal of the Shelter & Rescue Division is to develop tools and resources to help support those who work for or represent animal shelters and rescues.
PPG’s discounted Rescue Membership level provides access to all the benefits, educational resources and tools of a professional membership, including materials to share with adopters.
As a rescue member of PPG, you get exclusive access to these popular PPG programs:

You also get discounts on PPG’s Pet Dog Ambassador program, Doggone safe, the application fees for Pet Professional Accreditation Board credentials, and PPG webinars and events, as well as special offers from our corporate partners and free access to loads of resources to support you, your shelter or rescue, and your adopters.
Our Pet Rescue Resource is an online toolkit for shelters and rescues to improve the adoption and retention rates of homeless pets. The website includes articles, step-by-step training plans and videos designed to support staff and volunteers in addressing common behavior and welfare issues.
