Accessibility Statement
Everyone should be able to meet the dogs, read their stories and find a way to help. We’re working to make this website usable for as many people as possible.
Our goal
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we review the site as new pages and dogs are added.
What we’ve built in
- Full keyboard navigation, including menus, filters, galleries and forms
- A “Skip to main content” link and clearly visible focus outlines
- Semantic HTML with one main heading per page and a logical heading order
- Descriptive alt text for photos of the dogs
- Labels on every form field, with clear, specific error messages announced to screen readers
- Text and background colors chosen for strong contrast
- Layouts that work on phones, tablets and desktops, and when text is enlarged
- Animations that turn off when your device is set to reduce motion
- Links that open in a new tab are announced as such
Known limitations
Some photos are supplied by volunteers and may have shorter descriptions while new dogs are being added. Third-party sites we link to, such as Amazon, have their own accessibility practices.

If anything on this site is hard to use, please tell us. Include the page and what happened, and we’ll do our best to fix it or get you the information another way.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Petey’s Promise?
Petey’s Promise is a dog rescue and sanctuary effort growing out of Lyndsey Morgan’s rescue work with Obedient BLUE. It helps homeless, abandoned, medically or behaviorally challenged, senior and sanctuary dogs get food, veterinary care, rehabilitation, training, shelter and long-term support. Read our mission.
What is a sanctuary dog?
A sanctuary dog stays in permanent or long-term care because traditional adoption would not be safe or appropriate for them, often because of medical needs, age, behavior history, bite history or special handling requirements. Sanctuary is a commitment to give them a good life anyway. Learn about sanctuary care.
Can I sponsor a specific dog?
Yes. When you sponsor, you can choose a specific dog or support the rescue wherever the need is greatest.
Is Petey’s Promise a nonprofit?
Petey’s Promise is in the process of establishing its formal nonprofit structure. We’ll publish organizational details when they’re official. See Organization Status.
