Match Their Miracle
Some miracles start with something simple: a full bowl, the right nutrition, and people who care.
From December 16 through December 18, every donation made to The Animal Foundation will be matched dollar for dollar by Hill’s Pet Nutrition, up to $10,000, helping twice as many animals begin their journey from survival to healing.
This special three-day campaign, Match Their Miracle, highlights animals who arrived at our shelter severely underweight and in need of immediate, specialized care — and how proper nutrition helped change everything.
Gumbo after arriving to The Animal Foundation in OctoberYour Donation Can Help a Dog Like Gumbo
When Gumbo arrived at The Animal Foundation, he was severely emaciated and dangerously weak. His body condition score was the lowest possible, and he needed immediate veterinary intervention and a carefully monitored refeeding plan.
With the support of Hill’s nutrition, our veterinary team’s expertise, and YOU, Gumbo began to gain weight, regain energy, and show signs of hope again — a wagging tail, brighter eyes, and a growing trust in the people caring for him.
Gumbo’s story represents what this campaign is about: giving animals the chance to recover safely, with dignity, and with the best care possible.
Gumbo is now healthy and very loved by his new family!Double Your Impact
During this campaign:
Every dollar donated is matched by Hill’s Pet Nutrition, up to $10,000!
Your gift provides:
- Nutritious diets for medically fragile animals
- Help with ongoing veterinary care and monitoring for the 25,000+ animals we receive a year
- The resources needed to nurture animals back to health
That means twice the meals, twice the love, and twice the miracles.
Why Nutrition Matters
When animals arrive at The Animal Foundation emaciated, injured, or medically fragile, food is not just food — it’s medicine.
Hill’s Pet Nutrition provides science-led, veterinarian-recommended diets that allow our medical team to safely refeed animals, rebuild muscle, support organ function, and give them the strength they need to heal. Proper nutrition is often the first critical step toward recovery, and it’s why we proudly partner with Hill’s.
Because of this partnership, animals who come to us at their weakest can begin gaining strength safely — meal by meal, day by day.
Help Match Their Miracle
Animals like Gumbo don’t recover overnight — but with the right nutrition and your support, their second chances begin.
Make your gift between December 15 and December 17 to have your impact doubled and help more animals take their first steps toward healing.
Together, we can match their miracle.
