Why Help Animals?

I

The numbers: 

  • 607,000 dogs and cats were euthanized in 2024.

  • 4.1 million were adopted.

  • An estimated 10 million animals in the US die each year from being abused.

Because they need heroes. They need you.
And you love them.

One person can make a big difference.  If you love animals, you already have the superpowers of love, compassion and empathy. We can help you explore career and volunteer ideas; grow your skills and knowledge; write a targeted resume; find pre-vet advice; learn about other animal heroes; and become an animal advocate (even if you only have 5 minutes).

We can help whatever stage you are in your life--from grade school through being retired and everything in-between. There may be times when the examples we give (especially in resume writing and cover letters) may not fit your interests, but the concepts will still apply. Learn the concepts.

We will focus primarily on shelter animals, but the need to help wildlife, farm animals, captured animals and research animals is just as great.

If you've ever had a pet, raised money for a shelter, volunteered or written in support of pet-friendly legislation--you are an animal hero. Don't lose that passion.
