Through All Walks of Life

Honoring lifelong bonds through every step and season.
We coordinate pet rehoming and temporary care through trusted partners,
while encouraging continued connection between former senior guardians and new families.

Peaceful Passages. Lasting Connections.

At The Mally Network, we help pets feel safe and seniors feel loved while transitioning from one stage of life to the next. Whether a senior remains at home with support, is ill, or moves into long-term care, our compassionate team coordinates thoughtful temporary or permanent placements through shelter and boarding partnerships, paired with ongoing communication—always prioritizing the lasting well-being of both pets and their people.

We honor the bond between pets and their people by supporting continued connection whenever possible—easing the stress of life transitions for older adults and ensuring pets feel loved and secure.

Our Dedicated Services

Compassionate transitions for pets—and peace of mind for their people.

Fundraising

We assess local needs and raise funds for nonprofit rescues that temporarily care for pets surrendered by seniors—helping them find homes faster.

Pet Placements

Through our nonprofit shelter and boarding partners, along with their dedicated foster teams, Mally-sponsored pets receive safe, loving care—whether they need a temporary stay or are on their way to a forever home.

Intergenerational Connection

Our network stays in touch with former elderly pet owners and adoptive families to help preserve meaningful, lasting bonds.

Animal Interaction Disclaimer

The Mally Network does not house or transport animals, nor do we intentionally place volunteers or partners in direct contact with them. However, incidental contact may occur—such as during visits, events, or collaborative activities. By participating, you acknowledge the potential risks associated with animal interaction (e.g., chewing, scratching, accidents, or biting) and agree to release The Mally Network and its partners from liability for any resulting injuries, damages, or losses.
