Our Initiatives

The Jax & Bash Foundation creates real-world solutions that keep pets and their people together through hardship, healing, and hope. From emergency vet care and foster support to service-dog training, senior adoptions, legacy planning, and so much more, we make sure love and companionship are never out of reach.

For the Young at Heart

Keeping Loved Ones Together – Today and Tomorrow

The Jax & Bash Foundation works to help older adults keep their beloved pets by their side during times of change or challenge. Through our community partners and volunteers, we aim to connect seniors with temporary assistance such as dog walking, essential pet food and supplies, or short-term foster care when needed and more!

The Jax & Bash Foundation has partnerships and community resources to help ease that burden- connecting veterans with programs, supplies, and local support so they their companions can stay together whenever possible.

Supporting Rescue Animals

Help beyond the home…

We partner with rescues and shelters to strengthen the care network for animals already in need, providing resources, exposure, and community support. Beyond the hands on we work to address the systemic issues that contribute to overcrowding and surrender, helping more animals stay safe and supported for the long term.
