The Animal Rescue Site

Tim Kunin and Greg Hesterberg own and operate the Animal Rescue Site. They are co-owners of CharityUSA.com which is the parent company of the GreaterGood Network.

Through the success of the Hunger Site, they realized the power of the internet and provided internet users a simple and free, yet powerful way to make a difference in the lives of abandoned and abused animals.

The Animal Rescue Site was launched in July 2002 and mainly focuses on providing food and care for some of the millions of unwanted animals that end up in shelters. In the U.S. alone, over 4 million animals are put down annually because they are abandoned and unwanted.

GreaterGood.org distributes 100% of the funds received through clicks and donations directly to their partner charities. It is a charitable organization which devotes itself to helping people in need (especially women and children), abandoned animals and protecting the environment.

The Animal Rescue Site has established itself as a leader in the online world of activism since it was launched in July 2002. In fact, ten million bowls of food were funded for animals in need in its first year of operation.
