The Founding 100
Be Part of the Beginning
The Founding 100 is about more than reaching a fundraising goal, it’s about recognizing the first 100 people who believed in True North and helped make this beginning possible.
Our first 50 Founding Donors have already helped us provide veterinary care, vaccinations, testing, supplies, and begin building the spaces we need to responsibly welcome more animals.
We’re now opening the final 50 places in The Founding 100. A gift of $100 or more secures one of those remaining spots and permanent recognition as part of True North’s beginning. Donations of EVERY amount are deeply appreciated and directly support the animals in our care, but only 100 names will ever be part of The Founding 100. ❤️

Many of our animals enjoy meeting visitors, but their comfort and well-being always come first. Guided tours and special experiences are designed to provide meaningful, respectful interactions while ensuring our residents feel safe and secure. Some animals love attention, while others may prefer to observe from a distance—and we always honor their individual needs.
