Animals Are Not Ours to Abuse

Every animal deserves a chance to thrive in a responsible and permanent home.

But for every companion animal who lives indoors with a human family and receives the attention, health care and emotional support that he or she needs, there are thousands just barely surviving. Millions of domestic animals never know a kind human touch and live hard lives on the street before dying equally hard deaths. Others suffer neglect at the hands of unfit guardians or are victims of deliberate cruelty.
