Our mission: Helping shelter animals thrive
Welcome to Teaching Everyone Animals Matter (TEAM)! We are the nonprofit partner of the Sacramento County Bradshaw Animal Shelter, dedicated to enhancing the health, well-being, and adoption prospects of our community's shelter animals. Each year, more than 12,000 animals arrive at Bradshaw Animal Shelter, many facing neglect, abandonment, or medical challenges. Our mission is to create a compassionate and responsible community where all animals are treated with kindness and respect. We believe that every animal deserves to live a happy and healthy life and work towards achieving this goal by providing specialized medical care to shelter animals and educating our community about the importance of animal welfare and responsible pet ownership.
At TEAM Bradshaw, we step in where funding falls short— providing life-saving veterinary care, supporting rescue efforts, and ensuring these animals have a second chance at love and happiness.
Our work: Saving lives, strengthening our community
At TEAM Bradshaw, we are committed to improving the lives of shelter animals through education, rescue, and critical medical care. Our key initiatives include:
- Rescue & Adoption Support – We help provide medical care, rehabilitation, and adoption support to shelter animals, giving them a second chance at life.
- Humane Education – Through outreach and community resources, we teach responsible pet ownership, the importance of spaying and neutering, and how to prevent and report animal neglect.
- Community Outreach – We host events and adoption drives to raise awareness, connect resources, and inspire compassionate care for animals in need.
Our success: One life at a time
Meet Bubby.
Bubby suffered severe burns on over 40% of his body due to animal cruelty. Thanks to our community donors, a successful fundraiser fully funded his specialized surgery, pain management, and critical recovery care.
