Built to be used by everyone.

We aim to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as a practical benchmark for design and development decisions. This site has not been formally audited or certified, so we describe this as an ongoing effort rather than a claim of full compliance.

Every page can be operated with a keyboard alone. A “Skip to main content” link appears when you first press Tab, menus and dialogs can be closed with Escape, and interactive elements are reachable in a logical order.

Buttons, links, form fields, and carousel controls show a visible focus indicator so keyboard and switch-device users can always see where they are on the page.

Photographs of our animals, volunteers, and events carry descriptive alternative text. Images that are purely decorative are hidden from screen readers so they do not add noise to the page.

Form fields have persistent visible labels, required fields are marked in both text and markup, and validation messages are announced rather than signalled by color alone.

Our palette is chosen for contrast against its background, body text uses generous sizing and line height, and layouts reflow without loss of content when text is enlarged up to 200%.

The site is designed for phones, tablets, and desktops, with tap targets sized for touch and no reliance on hover to reach content.

Animated elements, including our sponsor and success-story carousels, respect your operating system’s “reduce motion” setting. Auto-scrolling content pauses on hover and on keyboard focus, and can always be advanced manually.

Some functionality is provided by external platforms — including Jotform for applications, Donorbox for donations, Chewy for our wish list, and embedded video and social content. When you use these features you are interacting with a third-party website whose accessibility is controlled by that provider, not by us. We choose partners with accessibility in mind, but we cannot guarantee their conformance.

Some older photographs and archived stories may have shorter alternative text than we would like, and documents supplied to us by partners may not be fully tagged. We correct these as we find them and welcome reports.

If you encounter a barrier on this site, please tell us what page you were on, what you were trying to do, and what assistive technology you were using. We aim to respond within five business days.
