the tickles foundation was created from a place of profound gratitude, in honor of our founder lisa’s soulmate—Tickles.
this innovative non-profit foundation advocates for rescue animals by supporting shelters that heroically accept, rehabilitate, and find loving homes for animals. in her first year of life, Tickles found herself in not one, but two shelters. it is in the spirit of second chances, that the tickles foundation came to life.
taking innovation a step further, the tickles foundation is working on establishing an affordable care act for animals, striving to advance protections they currently lack and offering essential emergency financial assistance to pet parents. no one should ever have to face the impossible choice between affording urgent care and their animal’s well-being. animals are loyal and loving family members that deserve equal rights.
the tickles foundation also helps fund research to identify the cause of hemangiosarcoma (hsa) cancer. in the united states alone, a dog succumbs to hsa every two minutes, often without warning. essential research and testing for early detection is near and dear to us, because it was the cause of Tickles transition, and many other dogs we’ve known and loved.
the tickles foundation is a tax-deductible non-profit
