We rescue animals from cruelty, heal their trauma, and give them the loving families they deserve. Join 2,347 Guardians making it possible.
We don't just talk about animal welfare — we go into the field and physically remove animals from dangerous situations.
We partner with law enforcement to shut down commercial breeding operations and rescue every animal inside.
Every rescue gets full medical triage, surgery if needed, and a patient path to recovery. No animal is turned away.
Our network of 200+ foster families provides safe homes while we find the perfect permanent family for every rescue.
Borrowed Hours was founded in 2014 by a family who refused to look away. We specialize in the cases others can't take — puppy mills, dogfighting rings, hoarding, and equine neglect.
We're not a household name. We're a small, fierce team that answers every call, drives to every scene, and fights for every animal.
Found in a wire cage at a commercial puppy mill with infected wounds and severe malnutrition. After four months of Guardian-funded veterinary care and behavioral rehabilitation, Duke was adopted by the Reyes family in Portland, OR. He now has a yard, a best friend (their cat, Mochi), and a family who will never let him spend another day in a cage.

Your monthly gift rescues animals from cruelty, heals their trauma, and gives them the family they deserve. Right now, a private sponsor is matching every dollar — your $36 becomes $72.
