Gatto Pups and Friends is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit sanctuary and rescue for senior, disabled and unwanted animals, providing them with a loving home for however long they may have left. 

Bessy and Joe Gatto’s love for animals, especially senior dogs, has provided a home for those overlooked and unwanted. Supporters of many rescues and animal sanctuaries, they have dedicated their time and efforts into advocating for those who can’t speak up for themselves. 

At Gatto Pups and Friends, every moment matters for our sweet seniors. Our volunteers help make sure each day is the best day! Whether helping out at the shelter where our seniors live or at the adoption center where we show them off to the world, we need loving, responsible, attentive, and detail-oriented humans to help care for the fur babies we take in as if they were their own.
