We are an organization run completely by volunteers. We have no paid staff, so 100% of your donations goes directly to helping animals through a variety of programs.
Our Board of Directors consists of animal professionals, rescuers and people who own, show and/or responsibly breed dogs, cats, horses, livestock, rabbits, birds, and reptiles.

We educate the public about being a responsible animal owner; making the correct choice of a pet for your needs and lifestyle; having realistic expectations of the behavior and level of care of your pet; finding resources for training to achieve a happy, healthy relationship with your pet. We support the human-animal bond, and help pet owners enjoy having pets be part of their lives.

We educate the public and professionals on the difference between animal welfare and animal rights.

We develop educational materials for citizens, schools, veterinarians, pet supply stores, animal shelters, libraries, and training centers.

We maintain an email announcement list to share information and urgent issues.
