Partners & supporters

Let’s help shelter dogs get seen — together.

Every Dog's Chance is an initiative of Lily’s Second Chance, a Tennessee nonprofit corporation, built around one idea: every adoptable dog deserves to be noticed. Shelters, rescues, funders, and everyday supporters all make that possible.

Ways to partner

However you help shelter dogs, there’s a place for you

Shelters & rescues

Get your adoptable dogs in front of more people. We surface shelter dogs and link every listing straight back to your organization — you keep every application and adoption.

List your dogs

Funders & sponsors

Support the infrastructure that keeps shelter dogs visible — the listings, outreach, and resources that help adoptable dogs get noticed.

Support the mission

Community & volunteers

Share adoptable dogs and help spread the word. Some of the most powerful help costs nothing but a moment of attention.

How partnering works

Every Dog's Chance is a visibility layer for shelter dogs, not a shelter. We gather adoptable dogs from shelter and rescue sources across the United States and link every listing straight back to the organization that cares for the dog. That means partnering with us costs shelters nothing and never takes anything away — applications, adoptions, and relationships with adopters stay entirely with you.

For funders and sponsors, support goes toward the work that keeps shelter dogs visible: listings, outreach, adoption resources, and limited assistance for pets when funds and partners allow. We’re honest about what your support does and doesn’t do — we don’t promise guaranteed medical, rescue, transport, or rehoming assistance for any individual pet.

Every Dog's Chance is an initiative of a Tennessee nonprofit corporation and an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) private foundation (EIN 42-3599446). Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. See our Donation Policy.

Get in touch

If you’re a shelter or rescue that wants your dogs seen, a funder who wants to help, or a partner with an idea, we’d love to hear from you. Start through our shelter onboarding page or email info@lilysecondchance.org or use our contact page.

Need a listing updated, added, or removed — or spotted something wrong? Use our report a listing or correction form. Every report is reviewed by a person, and no listing is ever changed automatically.

  • Optional social sharing to extend a listing’s reach

What funders & supporters make possible

  • Hosting, infrastructure, and uptime for the listings platform

What Every Dog’s Chance does not do

  • We do not rescue, transport, or take in individual animals
  • We do not guarantee medical assistance or rehoming for any pet
  • We do not vet, endorse, or have legal responsibility for listed organizations

Partners — frequently asked questions

We’re a shelter or rescue — how do we get our dogs listed?

We gather adoptable dogs from shelter and rescue sources across the country. Reach out through the shelter onboarding page and tell us where your dogs are listed, and we’ll look into including them. Every listing links straight back to your own adoption page.
