From I Stand With My Pack

I Stand With My Pack es una organización sin fines de lucro que brinda asistencia global para salvar las vidas de los animales y prevenir el sufrimiento y la crueldad. Los esfuerzos nacionales de ISWMP se centran en la retirada exitosa de perros de los refugios de alto riesgo de muerte de la ciudad y el condado de Los Ángeles, ayudándolos durante el proceso de rehabilitación y colocándolos exitosamente en sus hogares definitivos. ISWMP también ha creado una plataforma internacional que aumenta la conciencia a través de la educación, el trabajo práctico de campo, la ayuda en casos de desastre, la recaudación de fondos, las protestas no violentas y las acciones legales. Además, ISWMP brinda apoyo y colabora con personas, organizaciones y gobiernos con ideas afines para generar el impulso necesario para cambios sostenidos en el bienestar animal. Estos esfuerzos nacionales e internacionales respaldan nuestra misión fundamental de crear soluciones globales a largo plazo para un mundo más humano.
