Diversity, Equity and inclusion
We support and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging for our board, volunteers, and the communities we serve. We are strongest when everyone is valued and empowered so we are committed to advancing DEIB throughout the organization.
Every Voice, Every Community
We are committed to fostering an environment where everyone—regardless of background, identity, or circumstance—feels seen, respected, and included. We understand that meaningful animal advocacy requires understanding and supporting the diverse communities that care for them.
Our DEI Commitment in Action
From the volunteers who walk our pugs to the adopters who open their hearts and homes, we aim to build bridges, break down barriers, and make rescue accessible to all. We are actively working to:
Promote inclusive practices across our operations
Ensure access to resources and education for all pet guardians
Listen, learn, and adapt based on the voices of our community
Always Growing
We acknowledge that this work is ongoing. As we continue to evolve, we remain open to feedback, learning, and improvement—because creating a more inclusive world benefits both people and pets. Read more about our annual reports.
