“Chesed” indirectly translated means “loving kindness”. Acts qualify as “chesed” when they are motivated by a spirit of generosity, not obligation.

Understanding the need for us to face our responsibilities and to work on behalf of those who have no voice and cannot help themselves, Chesed Foundation was created in the name of kindness and compassion towards helpless animals, without expecting anything in return.

Chesed, unofficially started over ten years ago, is a non-profit organization, predominantly dedicated to matching unwanted dogs and cats with new owners. Through Chesed’s free “Match-a-Pet” program, not only have many animals been spared the horror of shelters and euthanasia, but their human companions have enjoyed the myriad of pleasures involved with adopting and loving a devoted and lifelong friend.

Chesed is also dedicated to helping pet owners through crisis situations which otherwise would have led them to surrender their pets, thereby adding to the ever-increasing pet overpopulation.

A large part of our dedication to animals includes educational programs for children.

Our programs aim to increase our youth’s awareness of animal responsibility, cruelty and overpopulation.

In addition to our adoption and education programs, we manage a “Crisis” fund aimed to assist monetarily in whatever way we can. This fund helps with bills associated with pets’ medical and training needs, helping those less fortunate or those on a fixed income to cope with the ever-increasing cost of pet ownership, and veterinary and boarding bills, among many others related expenses.

Please see the many links related to our desire to face our responsibilities. Our upcoming events may be of interest to you and your family. We would very much appreciate your donations, volunteering or fostering – see our "Please Help" page. If you wish to adopt or foster any of our animals, please check out our “Pets for Adoption” page.

Thank you, and a big thank you from the animals whose lives you helped save!
