The Rally to Rescue® program is a national partnership with Purina® Pro Plan® brand pet food and 500 Rescue Ambassadors from coast-to-coast, dedicated to raising awareness and support for the cause of pet rescue. When a rescued dog or cat needs help, it's often a small rescue group who is there by their side. But these small groups are often unheard, and unseen. Pro Plan® Rally to Rescue® is committed to helping these groups get the funding, awareness and support they need. Since the program’s inception in 2005, the Rally to Rescue® network of Ambassadors has found forever homes for over 400,000 dogs and cats.

The St. Louis PetLover Coalition was formed in the spring of 2009 when public and private, large and small, city and county animal service providers came together to discuss improving the lives of dogs and cats in our community. Nestlé Purina convened the original group to share ideas, to begin work to achieve goals that no one group can achieve alone, and to develop a community-wide comprehensive animal welfare plan. The 5 year regional plan from 2009-2014 includes goals of increasing adoption by 20% and reducing euthanasia by 50%. There are also goals for education and collaboration on facility needs. The big push is for the No Unwanted Litters campaign, to promote more funding and availability of low cost spay/neuter programs for financially challenged pet families, to reduce intake into our already crowded public and private shelters and rescue groups. "The St. Louis PetLover Coalition fosters collaborative efforts of local animal welfare groups and the community to promote responsible pet ownership and to increase the save rate of companion animals in our community."
