Every animal deserves to be treated with respect, love and to wake up knowing they are safe.

This is not the reality for many. It takes humans standing up for what is right, and reporting every case of neglect to the proper authorities so that the parties are brought to justice.

Abuse/Neglect can show in many different forms; physical abuse, lack of veterinary care, no food/water, chaining your animal up outside, not providing an outlet from the cold (some dogs like the cold), over breeding (aka. puppy mills, backyard breeders), leaving animals in hot cars, letting your dog roam free unsupervised off your property (at risk of injury/shows you don't have control of your animal).

The process can be long, and frustrating, but if the end result is what we hope for, isn't it all worth it?

Ask yourself what kind of human you want to be in this world, someone who just stands by and watches, or someone who takes action and makes a difference.
