Making a Difference
Pet Assistance Resources
To support struggling families and their pets, we provide valuable resources such as a list of programs designed for seniors and low-income families.
Pet Protection
We advocate for at-risk family members and safety planning for their pet(s) because we recognize a link between animal abuse and family violence.
Wildlife Protection
An opportunity exists for a new approach to learning how we can coexist with wildlife and advocate for protective policies at the state and local level.
Puppy Mills
Puppy mills breed dogs in horrific conditions that often lead to genetic and medical conditions in puppy mills sold through pet stores.
Community Cats
We provide resources and build partnerships to expand opportunities to humanely care for community cats while reducing populations and nuisances.
Adequate Shelter
We educate communities and local officials on the inhumane suffering and public safety concerns by tethering dogs outside.
Humane Education
The opportunity to build compassion for community, family and animals exists through humane education opportunities.
Breed Discrimination
Breed Discrimination Ordinances demonize a breed of dog irrespective of individual behavior, raise constitutional issues, and fail to increase public safety.
