As 2025 comes to a close, my heart is filled with gratitude as I reflect on what we’ve accomplished together this past year.
Across the country, shelters and rescues are under extraordinary strain. They are overcrowded, fostering is down, adoptions are down, resources are stretched to their limits, already-thin budgets are stretched even thinner, and staff and volunteers are struggling to keep up.
Yet, YOU’RE DOING IT! Across the country, countless pets have been saved thanks to your hard work, dedication, and commitment.
In addition— because of you— we are all still here….. continuing our lifesaving mission!
Your support has made it possible for Code3 Animal Rescue Aviation Team and our sister organization, The Code3 Foundation to continue to evolve and to grow to help overcrowding and crisis situations and to help pets find loving homes.
In 2025, we have expanded our philanthropic efforts to help animals in need get the medical care and services they desperately need.
Our new community grant program was launched, which has helped a number of animals get emergency medical care.
In 2025, we have made an incredible difference together, even in a very difficult year. We simply could not have made it without you.
In 2026, our plans for growth continue:
1. We plan to continue to offer the same transport services and transport coordination services we always have to help reduce the burden to shelter and rescue personnel and get animals at risk of euthanasia to a safe place or to their new forever homes. This is our core mission and will continue as it always has.
2. Thanks to a very generous donor, Code3 has acquired a new transport vehicle that we expect to have road-ready in Spring or early Summer of 2026. Thanks to multiple other partners and supporters, the vehicle is in the process of getting safety enhancements and custom upgrades to make it safe for the animals being transported and for the volunteers.
3. We plan to expand our Community Grant program to help more rescues, shelters, and families in need offset the financial burden of unexpected emergency care.
4. We plan to grow our base of partners and sponsors that support our mission to help us achieve our goals.
Thank you for standing with us, supporting us, and for your continued commitment to a better life for animals in need.
From the Code3 family to yours, we wish you a very Happy and Healthy New Year and all the best in 2026. 💙🐾
