Help build trust in your communuty: Email your mayor and city council members about spotlighting and building lifesaving partnerships
Use this handy form to connect directly with local elected officials (where available)
Every community wants to see more pets find loving homes, but no shelter can do it alone.
Saving more animals lives depends on strong partnerships among animal shelters, rescue organizations, volunteers, foster caregivers, animal control, and community members.
Local elected officials can help strengthen these partnerships by encouraging collaboration and supporting policies that make it easier for people to adopt, foster, volunteer, and keep pets with their families.
Connecting with your local elected officials and asking them to spotlight the great work your local animal shelter is already doing also helps to increase trust.
TAKE ACTION: Send a message asking your local elected officials to champion collaboration, strengthen community partnerships, and support the shared efforts that help save more cats and dogs.
