Impact begins here.
The official story of Scarritt Foundation launched in 2025, but the foundation of our story has been building for the last 25 years. We invite you to watch the short film below to learn more about where we come from, what we’re doing now, and our big plans for the future!
Our Founder
The Scarritt Foundation was born from founder Adrienne Williams’ lifelong love for animals and her childhood dream of helping them. Seeing grassroots rescues struggle for resources and advocacy, she set out to change that.
Inspired by her three greats-grandfather Nathan Scarritt’s legacy of service, Adrienne created the Scarritt Foundation to support those on the front lines of animal rescue and rehabilitation. At its heart, the Foundation champions compassion, advocacy, and the belief that every life has value.
Scarritt Group reflects these values, integrating pet-friendly policies and supporting animal welfare initiatives. Employees are encouraged to foster, adopt, and engage in acts of kindness, with resources to help.
Through community-building and direct support for grassroots organizations, the Scarritt Foundation is strengthening the bond between people and their pets—one act of kindness at a time.
