Welcome!
This friendly guide is for anyone from a registered charity who wants to understand how the Pet Care Hubs Charity Directory works, how to verify your listing, and what the benefits are. We’re here to help connect pet lovers with trusted animal charities in their own cities — and your organization plays a big part in that.
What Is Pet Care Hubs?
We’re a digital media platform (not a charity) that helps pet owners discover local, nonprofit animal organizations they can trust. Each city has its own Charity Directory with charities specific to that area. We don’t list businesses, individuals, or unregistered groups — only verified, legally registered animal charities.
Who Can Be Listed?
You must be a legally registered nonprofit charity.
You must actively serve the city you’re listed in.
Listings are free and remain visible long-term unless we find serious issues or inactivity.
How Are Listings Added?
We manually curate every charity entry. You can:
Recommend your charity (or someone else’s) via our suggestion form
Fill out a verification form if you’re already listed
Charity Categories (Used in Our Directory):
Animal Rescue: Hands-on rescue, rehabilitation, rehoming (usually with shelters or foster networks)
Animal Welfare: Public education, spay/neuter programs, community outreach
Animal Rights: Campaigning for legal or ethical protections for animals
Veterinary Clinic: Nonprofit vet services (fixed or mobile)
Local Shelter: City-run or municipally funded animal shelters
Guide Dogs & Service Animals: Training and placing support dogs for disabilities
Wildlife & Conservation: Wildlife rescue, protection, or habitat work
Each listing includes one or more of these category tags.
