Heidi's Rescue Partners
Better Together
At Heidi’s Village, we believe unity saves lives. That’s why we collaborate with shelters, rescues, policymakers, veterinarians, law enforcement, schools, and community partners to connect people, pets, and the resources they need.
Rescue organizations are, of course, the heart of our business, so when you become a Rescue Partner, your organization gains access to valuable benefits that help you achieve your mission. Together, we can make a greater impact – so join The Pack today and let’s Rescue, Together.
If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

Our Rescue Partners
What We Need From You
Let's Get Acquainted
We learn something new with every organization we meet, and we want to understand how we can best support your mission. Plus, we’d love to show off our state-of-the-art facilities and introduce you to our friendly, knowledgeable staff with a behind-the-scenes tour! Schedule your meet-and-greet today by emailing: sschilling@heidisvillage.org!
Proof of Nonprofit Status
Heidi’s Village services are designed specifically to support the animal welfare community, which is why we partner exclusively with 501(c)(3) organizations. To get started, simply provide a copy of your IRS determination letter. If you’re just getting established, let us know—we’re happy to help you navigate the process!
Insurance Coverage
We know how important it is to keep everyone safe, from your animals to your volunteers. That’s why we ask our Pack Partners to maintain general liability insurance with a trusted carrier (A.M. Best rating of A- or better) and coverage of at least $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate. To keep things simple, please provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) that includes a waiver of subrogation in favor of Heidi’s Village and lists us as an additional insured. Need help understanding these requirements? Don’t worry—our team is here to assist!
Financial Transparency
As part of our commitment to ethical and transparent partnerships, we ask our Rescue Partners to provide up to three of their most recent IRS Form 990 filings. This helps us better understand your organization’s structure and sustainability. If you’re a newly established rescue, don’t worry—we’re happy to discuss alternative documentation options to get you started.
Partnership Agreement
To ensure we’re all on the same page, we’ll provide a simple agreement that outlines the expectations and benefits of our partnership. This helps keep our collaboration strong and ensures we can provide the best possible support to our Rescue Partners and the animals in their care. Our team will walk you through the details and answer any questions before you sign—because we believe great partnerships start with clear communication!
