Hello,
Thank you for your review, we are so greatful for your generosity and support! I will leave some information below about how CUDDLY works.
CUDDLY is a fundraising and wishlist platform solely dedicated to supporting verified non-profit animal rescues, shelters, and municipal organizations. We work with over 4,000+ animal welfare organizations around the world and 90% of the monetary donations made are sent directly to the rescue pet in need of care. The remaining 10% goes towards additional marketing, tools, and resources to better support our partners and help them reach their fundraising goals. Shelters can also opt into extra fundraising support, including paid ads, email marketing, social promotion, and a dedicated fundraising team. These services are paid for out of the campaign's donations.
Donations on CUDDLY's platform are tax-deductible and we've helped 46k+ rescued animals in need. Any and all donations go towards making a positive difference in the animal's road to recovery and are greatly appreciated.

I love this organization and I appreciate the updates. Here’s my BIG question…. For the dogs whose donations do not meet the goal, what happens then?!!!!???? Joyce Overton

We're so grateful for your support and generosity. Your belief in our mission helps make it possible for us to help support rescues, caring for, and protecting animals in need.
While, CUDDLY tries our best to help each campaign on our site raise all funds, unfortunately, you are right, not every campaign can meet their fundraising goal. What happens next is up on a case by case basis with the animal welfare partner caring for the animal in question. If there are any specific campaigns you would like us to look into, our friendly customer service team can check into that for you. You can reach them at [email protected] anytime!

CUDDLY is one of the best charities to help animals!
CUDDLY is a great place that helps animals that are most in need. I also like the fact that most of the money given (unlike other charities) goes directly towards helping the animals. The only thing that could be better is I wish CUDDLY would send more updates about the animals you help. But when they do send you updates, it’s a great feeling!

I have been donating through Cuddly for a couple of year’s now…
I have been donating through Cuddly for about 2 year’s now. They are an online platform dedicated to fundraising and fulfilling wishlist needs for verified 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal shelters and rescues worldwide. You receive stories of animals (dogs & cats) which have been rescued from the most horrific types of abuse one could imagine. Honestly, it can be very difficult reading and viewing some of the cases. I have always had a deep bond with animals and though I wish I could help all of them, I have to limit myself to how my heart leads me. One of the things I like most is how they send updates and you are able to keep up with the animals progress. The stories do not always have a happy ending, but when they do it is so rewarding to read. To find out that you were able to help an animal to recover from cruelty and to see it placed into a loving home where it can now wag it’s tail and trust those who are caring for it, now receiving love instead of beatings which was all it knew from its past life, there truly is nothing more rewarding.
I have done some research into Cuddly and the rescues they work with and from what I have been able to gather, I am confident that they are trustworthy and that my donations are being used as described.
