Every individual we reach through our ever-growing programs and courses is another opportunity to advance animal welfare and inspire a more humane world. Each interaction from educating a dog owner on positive training methods to giving a person the chance to experience the power of the human-animal bond through cat yoga or one of our kids camps, enriches the lives of not only the animals, but the people too.
