***WE ARE IN NEED OF FOSTER HOMES***IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO OPEN YOUR HOME AND HELP IN SAVING A LIFE***WE PROVIDE EVERYTHING---FOOD, CRATE, FRONTLINE, HEARTGARD***PLEASE CONTACT US FOR MORE INFORMATION*** Chesed Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the rescue and placement of unwanted animals. “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. 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.

We do not have a shelter and our animals are seen by appointment only. We are at Whole Foods Market in Boca Raton most Saturdays from 11:30-3:30. The location is: 1400 Glades Road Ste 110 Boca Raton, FL 33431 Glades Road just east of I-95 in the University Commons shopping center. Please call ahead to make sure we will be there that weekend and which animals will be present.

You must FIRST fill out one of online adoption applications to be considered to adopt one of our dogs or cats. Applications can be found at: www.chesed-rescue.org We do require a vet reference (if applicable) and home visit.
