No Animal Should Suffer When the Knowledge to Help Exists

Across the world, countless wild and exotic animals live in sanctuaries, rescues, and zoos that provide safety, care, and second chances. Yet even in the best facilities, animals often suffer from severe dental disease—pain that can threaten their lives if left untreated.

The Dental Coalition for Conservation (DCC) exists to change that.

We are a nonprofit team of human and veterinary dental specialists who travel to sanctuaries and zoological institutions—both in the United States and globally—to deliver advanced, life-saving dental care to animals in crisis. From chimpanzees and lions to foxes, hyenas, kangaroos, and countless other species, we step in when animals are in pain and in need of specialized care that most facilities can't provide on their own.

But we can't do this work alone.

We are launching this GoFundMe to help sustain and expand our mission by providing critical support for:

Anesthesia drugs that allow us to safely perform procedures

Specialized dental and medical equipment that sanctuaries often can't afford

Travel and logistics costs so our team can reach sanctuaries across the U.S. and around the world

Direct support to partner sanctuaries and zoos, ensuring they have essential tools for ongoing animal health and welfare

Every dollar raised goes directly toward reducing animal suffering and strengthening the capacity of sanctuaries that care for vulnerable wildlife.

Your support will not just fund a procedure—it will help give animals relief from pain, improve their quality of life, and in many cases, save their lives.

Whether you can give $10, $100, or more, your generosity makes a real, tangible difference. Together, we can ensure that no animal suffers when the knowledge to help exists.

Thank you for standing with us—and with the animals who depend on us.

With gratitude,

The Dental Coalition for Conservation
