the invisible rescue dog drop
Adopt an ‘Invisible Dog’ to help a real dog.
They wait in shelters. The animals we couldn't rescue.
Too old, too shy, too sick – the animals that truly need a home. And when no one comes, they're killed to make room for new arrivals. We can't adopt them all. But together, we will change what happens next.
Enter – The Invisible Rescue Dog Drop
Animal shelters depend on generosity to survive, but large donations are rare. There had to be a better way. For $1.99 – less than the cost of a coffee – we can symbolically adopt an Invisible Dog. Each adoption combines with thousands of others to fund critical support for animals who are too often overlooked. This funds:
- Emergency medical care & life-saving surgery
- Food, medicines, clean & safe spaces, blankets and toys
- Rent & operating costs that keep small shelters open
Old dogs get the vet care they need, shy dogs become comforted, sick dogs get the medicine they need, the shelter gets funds to stay open, and suddenly, these animals get a fighting chance and become adoptable.
After you adopt, check your email for the link to see which doggie matched with you!
This special fundraiser is designed to work side-by-side reinforcing other people's direct donations to rescues. To give those a way to support rescues who otherwise wouldn't donate, or are too busy to search for a rescue to give to. To support rescues using as little money as possible from an individual, but through cumulative effect, making a big impact.

Our funds go to the website, design, and outreach. It also goes to payment processing and administration of the campaign. Postage to send checks to the rescues.
We totally understand this isn't for everyone, and that's okay. Direct donations to rescues are always recommended first. Our Invisible Rescue Dog Drop is simply another way to bring awareness and support, while also helping Pibb as a small company continue to contribute to the rescue community.
We're grateful for all who help animals in their own way
How funds move
Every 2,000 adoptions, we split and send funds to shelters – by check or their preferred method – fast.
We also cover postage and admin so small rescues can focus on animals, not paperwork.

Why this matters now
‘In 2025 we have seen an explosion of pet returns to the shelters. We can't bring every animal home. What they need is time. Time to be seen. Time to heal. Time to be chosen.’
