New Collar Collective (“New Collar”) is a not-for-profit animal rescue organization committed to alleviating animal homelessness. In pursuit of this mission, New Collar rescues stray, abandoned, abused, or surrendered companion animals requiring care, attention and human assistance. We believe in the transformative power of love, so all of our animals are placed in nurturing foster homes. While in foster care, they receive the vetting and basic training required for them to thrive once adopted out to loving forever homes. We also strive to improve the lives of animals beyond those in our care. That’s why we’re committed to educating the public on the nature of animal rescue, as well as the root causes of and strategies for alleviating animal homelessness. We also aim to improve the lives of vulnerable populations in our communities, by leveraging our incredible volunteers, resources, and animals in our care. While we plan to expand our community outreach efforts in future, our initial focus is seniors—a demographic where the need for and positive impact of companionship, physical activity, and community connections is so apparent.
