A personal message from Camille about 20 years of MARS.
Help MARS keep saying yes — with the support to back it up.
For 20 years, MARS has shown up when animals had nowhere else to go. Operation: Year 20 & Beyond is about making sure we can keep doing it — with the resources, care network, and stability behind every yes.

Give a Rescue Pet Their Second Chance
At MARS, saying yes to an animal is only the beginning. Behind every rescue is foster care, veterinary treatment, time to heal, and people who refuse to give up — on a dog who needs surgery, a kitten found abandoned, a family trying to stay together.
Some gifts cover a vaccine. Some make emergency care possible. Some simply help a pet sleep safely tonight.
Every dollar helps us show up — and keep saying yes.
