ABOUT SIDEWALK ANGELS FOUNDATION:Sidewalk Angels Foundation, founded by Marisol and Rob Thomas in 2003, is dedicated to providing critically needed funds and support to over 20 no-kill animal shelters and animal rescues across the country – including the Caribbean (Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Jamaica), Mexico and now in Serbia – that help to fight for the rights and fair treatment of those with no voice. Organizations doing amazing work, that desperately need our help to continue with rescues, adoptions, building proper shelter facilities, getting proper medical care, low cost spay and neuter programs, helping to teach children kindness and compassion through animals, and advocacy programs such as fighting against cruelty and working to fight against breed discrimination. The foundation also works with homeless shelters that provide for the displaced by meeting the physical needs of people and their pets in crisis; so that families in need are not forced to give up their pets.
In past years, Sidewalk Angels Foundation has helped rescues with no physical structure other than some fencing and sheds, and no real funding, to build proper facilities with indoor and outdoor kennels. They have also helped organizations across the United States with big cross-country rescues and large medical expenses incurred during these rescues (for example, their continued partnership with The Sato Project, helping with the care and transport of animals from PR). Sidewalk Angels Foundation is also committed to helping organizations dedicated to increasing public awareness through educational programs that focus on the frequency of violent crimes against animals, and the correlation between animal abuse and violent behavior towards people.
During this unprecedented time of natural disasters and COVID-19, Sidewalk Angels Foundation tries to step in and help make sure shelters and rescues can continue their work as well as make sure that families can continue to get the care they need for their pets. Sidewalk Angels Foundation has also been a longtime partner with the Global Lyme Alliance to bring awareness about Lyme disease prevention for people and pets, and how to protect all family members from Lyme and tick-borne diseases.
