Fundraise for Pets in Need
Losing weight is difficult but adding a charitable component to your pet’s journey provides better accountability & extra motivation. Regardless of how much weight is lost, everyone's efforts contribute to a larger cause.
Here’s how it works: your vet clinic will choose up to three local rescues or their clinic's angel fund to support. Our sponsor, myBalto, will provide customizable donation pages for all angel funds, making it easy for you to contribute to a worthy cause. |
You can then crowdfund in your pet's or clinic's name, accumulating contest points & making a difference for pets in need. To donate, simply visit this website & filter by pet name, vet clinic, or rescue or visit your clinic’s custom myBalto page.
Visit the Fit Pets for Rescues leaderboard (below) for weekly contest updates & to see the impact of your fundraising efforts. |

Frequently Asked Questions |
Can I join if I don't have a participating vet clinic?
