Get Involved for
Mental Health Awareness Month

To Love a Canine Rescue (TLC), in partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters Independence (BBBS), is raising awareness for mental wellness while nurturing compassion and support for our communities.

To Love a Canine Rescue (TLC) was born from our passion for saving dogs while educating the community, but it's our profound ability to unite people through their mutual love for dogs that continues to drive us forward. Get involved!


Teaming up with Big Brothers Big Sisters Independence, a donor-supported organization that enriches, encourages, and empowers children to reach their highest potential through safe, one-to-one mentoring relationships, we aim to inspire resilience, cultivate empathy, and empower individuals to embark on a journey of self-care and community connection. Get involved!


Together, we’re inviting YOU to join us on a journey of self-care, empathy, and connection. This May, let’s show the world what it means to support each other, mind and heart. Help us create a ripple effect of kindness, care, and connection!

Get Involved!

Donate your time to a mission that matters—whether that’s fostering dogs at TLC Rescue, mentoring through BBBS, or lending support to another local nonprofit. Your time has power.

You make a real difference. Even a small action can have a big impact on someone's life (or a dog's life!) Be the reason someone feels they belong.

Volunteering connects you with others who care about the same thing - it's a great way to meet great people.

Helping others boosts your mood, lowers stress and gives you something to feel good about.

Volunteering helps you see the world through a more compassionate lens.

Kindness is contagious. When you show up, others notice - and it inspires others to do the same.

Being a part of something BIGGER makes you feel like you belong - and that matters.

You might pick up new skills, build confidence or just learn more about yourself along the way.
