Our Commitment
At STREET RESCUE, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We believe that every visitor — regardless of ability — should be able to easily navigate, engage with, and participate in our mission to help pets and people in need. Our goal is to make our website, videos, and online resources accessible and inclusive in alignment with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Using clear, descriptive headings, readable text, and consistent navigation.

Conducting periodic accessibility audits and updates in collaboration with our web and media partners.

Ongoing Efforts
We recognize that accessibility is an ongoing process. Our team regularly reviews new content, design changes, and plugins to maintain compliance and user-friendliness. We also train contributors and volunteers who upload content to follow accessibility standards, especially for user-submitted stories, photos, and videos.
