    Thirty years ago, Best Friend Animal Sanctuary was founded when a group of people had a vision to create a sanctuary for abandoned and abused animals. The main co-founders include: Francis Battista, Judah Battista, Silva Battista, Gregory Castle, Gabriel DePeyer, Jana DePeyer, Steven Hirano, Faith Maloney, Anne Mejia, and Cyrus Mejia.  With very little money and no master plan, they set out to create something very ambitious.  One of their major goals was to create a no-kill animal sanctuary, but unfortunately they didn’t have much of a voice until their sanctuary grew larger.  They didn’t want to become famous or wealthy, but do the right thing for creatures who could not speak or act for themselves.  To take the next step, in 1984, the founders made a promise to one another and the animals they cares for, that they would build a sanctuary in Southern Utah.  Their mission was to bring about a time when there are no more homeless pets.  They would dedicate their lives to housing and finding homes for unwanted pets while spreading

Have you ever been watching tv and the ASPCA commercial comes on, you know the one that has the song “Arms of an Angle.” The commercial makes you feel super sad for the poor animals that have been abused and victimized because of cruel behavior. They ask you to donate money to help these animals recover. What if when these animals do recover they were turned into Service animals. This is a matter of great concern in our community because we could help get most, if not all the animals adopted into a loving home. In order to understand the issue more completely, I looked at turning shelter animals into service animals. Other members of my Group project are looking at TNR/Euthanasia, Physiological aspects of owning a shelter animal, and Worldwide

If I could volunteer with any organization in the world, I would volunteer at the Villalobos Rescue Center in New Orleans, Louisiana because I would like to become an advocate for pitbulls, work with the dogs, and help parolees transition back into society. I heard about Villalobos when I found the show Pitbulls and Parolees on the Discovery channel. Immediately, I was intrigued by the show and Tia Torres’, the founder of Villalobos, mission for the rescue organization. After watching a few episodes, I conducted some research about the organization and it was then that I knew that I would love to be part of the volunteer base at Villalobos.

Jodi Polanski is the founder and executive director. There is Michelle Lewis, who is the director of operations, Chris Harris, who is the program manager, and Joni Loyd, who is the Medical Coordinator. There are many other staff member and board members, and they are all part-time. There is a handfull staff and board members, but most of the community is made up of just ordinary people with a passion for animals. There are a couple thousand volunteers at L.O.H. They volunteer at L.O.H. and play with the cats and dogs, re-plenish their food, and clean the cats’ litterboxes. Other people donate items such as food, litter, toys, and collars for the

The world and its people are not the only things that need assistance. We must not forget about the animals.Because animals cannot speak their concerns, we have to be their voice. There are animals roaming around homeless with no food or water and most of them have been abused. Animal lovers including myself, wont let this continue. Yes, there are many charities that have contributed to making animal abuse and neglect stop, but this issue hasn't been fully ceased yet. In result, I would like to support the non-profit corporation, ASPCA (the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). The ASPCA was the first humane society to be established in North America and is, today, one of the largest in the world to stop animal abuse and/or neglect. It was founded on the belief that animals are entitled to kind and respectful treatment at the hands of humans and must be protected under the law. This organization is a no kill for space shelter. These are only some of the reasons why this organization is a noteworthy

The North Shore Animal League will first discuss animal rights and how animal abuse and homelessness is at an all-time high today among animals. There will also be various pictures and statistics shown to offer the audience insight on which dog and cat breeds are the most abused and homeless. For example, due to their small size and temperament with people Chihuahuas are among one of the most abused and homeless dog breeds. The organization will then discuss their plan to remedy the issue of animal abuse and homelessness by opening up animal shelters in urban areas in Staten Island and Brooklyn to lower animal abuse and homelessness. These shelters will provide the animal’s food, water, and medicine, which are the main necessities for them to survive. By opening these new shelters, it will ensure the animal’s safety and well-being until people are ready to adopt and bring them home.

Hello everyone, my name is Katrina Clark. So, imagine one day you were ripped away from your family and from your home with nowhere to go, in the street, cold, starving, and have absolutely no idea where your next meal is going to come from. Well, for over 7 million animals each year that is the sad reality. I personally own around ten cats that were either from a shelter or on the street starving. I also own two dogs that I have found on the road that had been dumped and left to die. My experience with adopting these animals has truly opened my eyes to how many animals are truly in need of homes. All of these animals are sweet blessings that I wouldn’t trade for the world. If I can find loving furry friends that I love, then so can you. With

Since being involved in a dog rescue organization, I’ve learned a lot about how an animal control shelter works. They are not just people who will take your dog if they get out of the yard. They are animal lovers who try their best to educate the community pet population control and help homeless pets find a new home. I sat down with a friend of mine who I met through the animal rescue group with both volunteer with to find out more about a day in the life of a shelter worker.

You should know how to report animal abuse, and how to take care of their pets. Volunteers can help develop presentation and educational materials or launched their own education drives in their community and schools.

Anyone who is capable and willing can make donations to Peaceful Pets at the facility or at one of our monthly adoptions. All donations go towards bedding and food for the animals as wells as the cost to have them spayed and neutered. Monthly adoptions are held on the second Saturday of every month and are held at our facility, these adoptions will allow our program to bring in more pets since people will be adopting. At the adoptions, the Peaceful Paws volunteers sell baked goods and other things such as treats, collars, and tags as a way to raise money for the upkeep of the facility. Anyone in the community who is over the age of sixteen and has a love for animals can volunteer at Peaceful Paws. We highly recommend those who are in school for any type of Veterinarian Medicine or Zoology degree to volunteer since it is a great glimpse into what they may be doing in the future. When the volunteers graduate from college having the Peaceful Paws program on their resume can help them get good

Mission: The Animal Welfare Institute is an organization that provides a voice for animals in pain. "Since its founding in 1951, AWI has sought to alleviate the suffering inflicted on animals by people. In the organization 's early years, our particular emphasis was on the desperate needs of animals used for experimentation. In the decades that followed, we expanded the scope of our work to address many other areas of animal suffering." "We seek better treatment of animals everywhere - in the laboratory, on the farm, in commerce, at home, and in the wild".

The Humane Society of the United States has asked Texas U.S. Representative Congressman Al Green for his support. The Humane Society is inviting Congressman Al Green to speak at several events, help pass animal protection laws, and help educate the public about animal protection issues.

The volunteers ' care is good, but it can 't make up for the full attention of one owner. Animals, like people, need familiar surroundings and daily routines to feel comfortable. Even the shelter doesn 't provide a consistent home. When the shelter gets too crowded, some of the confused animals have to be sent to temporary foster homes.

Specific Purpose: To encourage more people to help the homeless animals and offer some solutions to improve the current situation.
