Barrio Dogs Inc

Our Barrio Dogs Youth & Paws program (YAP) teaches children compassion and respect for our animals. The program goes into area schools and community centers to teach young children about animals, often with a therapy dog to demonstrate proper pet care. We feel teaching young students the importance of proper pet care, and especially to spay neuter their pets, is key to helping them be better pet owners in the future. This program is a key investment with our youth and a great way to help create a more pet-friendly future.

Neighborhood Advocates helps residents become leaders for the animals and the community by working with neighbors and civic associations to raise awareness of animal welfare issues around them. We assist and encourage people to speak out to their elected officials about these issues and in the process, build momentum for much-needed change.
