OUR MISSIONS
Advocacy
Dog advocacy plays a crucial role in protecting and promoting the rights and well-being of dogs. Through raising awareness, fighting against animal cruelty, promoting responsible ownership, and challenging breed discrimination, dog advocates are making a significant differences in the lives of dogs and creating a more compassionate and responsible society for them.
Enforcement
The lack of enforcement for dogs is a concerning issue that poses risks to public safety and animal welfare. Many areas have laws in place to ensure responsible dog ownership such as leash-laws, licensing requirements and sales in particular areas. However, the enforcement of these laws fall short . Lack of funding and resources. many agencies are overwhelmed with the number of cases they must handle.
Education
Dog education is imperative for our community's well-being and safety. A community that values dog education fosters a more inclusive environment for all residents, including those who may be fearful or have allergies. It also encourages a culture of respect for animals, which extends to wildlife and other pets. Overall, dog education enhances the quality of life for both dogs and humans, creating a more harmonious and considerate community for everyone.
