Cities everywhere are deciding to revise these discriminatory bans to hold owners responsible no matter the breed or mix a dog is. This ban has not worked in keeping pitbull out of the city limits, it relies on out of town rescues and shelters to remove these types of dogs , stretching our neighbors resources is not being a responsible community.

We Care for Animals was founded in 2016 with the experience and knowledge that Trap-Neuter-Return is the only humane and solid solution to lower the population of Community Cats, not only are they sterilized they are vaccinated and receive a health check.

Becoming pet-inclusive: The right thing to do. A 1998 study found that 29 percent of pet relinquishments to animal shelters were because of housing issues, primarily having to move. And the most common specific reason given for relinquishment was “landlord refused to allow pets.” Tragically, this percentage has probably increased with the foreclosure crisis. Every day, more than 950 cats and dogs are unnecessarily killed in America’s shelters, simply because they don’t have a home. Each one of these pets is an individual and a valued life worth saving. That number should be zero, and it can be, if landlords and property management companies do their part to make more pet-inclusive housing available. Lead by example. Together, we can Save Them All.

In Alabama, 17 counties have no animal services at all - no veterinarians, no animal shelters, no animal clinics. Across the state, only five low-cost spay/neuter clinics serve Alabamians. This is considerably fewer clinics per capita than other states in the southeast. Current laws say it is unlawful for a licensed veterinarian to be an employee of a non-licensed person. For this reason, veterinarians must be treated as outside contractors when they provide services in animal shelters and low cost spay/neuter clinics which limits employment opportunities. This takes away the freedom of veterinarians to seek employment of their own interest and hampers individuals and animal shelters access to animal services. Alabama’s current veterinary practice law overly restricts affordable access to essential veterinary care for community residents and animal shelters. This creates unnecessary risk to public health. The people and animal shelters in Alabama need the ability to give basic, affordable veterinary services to the animals in their care. You are a critical part of ensuring that pets and people receive essential resources and our community stays safe. The people and pets in Alabama deserve access to basic veterinary care. It is important you tell your representative that saving cats and dogs, and keeping communities safe, is important to the people of Alabama. By advocating for access to care and continued collaboration with other community organizations, you are a part of creating a healthier community for pets and people.

In 2021, the Louisiana state legislature passed two humane initiative resolutions [SR 125 and HR 120]. Resolutions are an important way for local government to declare a stance on a particular issue. Through a humane animal resolution, elected officials make a clear statement that they want their community to work towards ending killing in shelters. This helps draw a line in the sand to drive toward the goal of saving the lives of dogs and cats.  Now it is time for local parishes to commit their support for pet lifesaving by passing a humane resolution.

In July 2021, the Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDOA) published proposed amendments to the state’s Animal Welfare Act. The proposed amendments provide many positive improvements for dogs and cats in Illinois. However, some of the well-meaning amendments would make it difficult for shelters to maintain their foster programs. Shelters, like so many places, are under strain. With pandemic restrictions being reduced or eliminated, many people are traveling or returning to work. That means fostering and adoptions are returning to pre-pandemic levels. We need the state to find the right balance of making fostering less difficult for animal shelters and their volunteers while maintaining a safe environment for the dogs and cats. Help make it better for animal shelters to implement lifesaving foster programs. The deadline for submitting comments is August 30, so please sign and share the petition today.
