Making a Difference
Pet Assistance
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.
