About

This nonprofit organization operates as a comprehensive animal welfare advocacy group dedicated to protecting animals worldwide through rescue operations, educational initiatives, and support programs. The organization runs several specialized programs including Patriot Pets, which facilitates the rescue and transport of animals befriended by military personnel overseas, and various advocacy campaigns addressing issues like the dog meat trade, Spanish Greyhound abuse, and puppy mill operations. Pet owners can access educational resources covering topics such as spay and neuter programs, emergency disaster preparedness for animals, and general pet care guidance. The organization provides financial grants to shelters and rescue groups, distributes veterinary supplies globally, and facilitates animal adoptions while maintaining active advocacy efforts on multiple animal welfare fronts. Located in Manhattan's Chelsea area, this 501(c)(3) organization has been operating since 2006 and maintains both domestic and international rescue efforts. Their work spans from supporting local shelter operations to coordinating complex international animal transport missions, making them a resource for pet owners interested in broader animal welfare causes and adoption opportunities.
