Our MissionOur Pack's mission is to keep pets from entering shelters in the first place, by providing free spay/neuter, education, training, post adoption support, rescue, and facilitating the lifelong bond between pets and their people.
Our mission is to also keep rabbits from entering shelters and educate the public on proper care. We have found similar misconceptions about them in regards to care and behavior as companion animals as we've seen with dogs. We are working to see rabbits have better lives through education, rescue and help with spay/neuter. There has also been an increasing number of abandoned rabbits to shelters and on the streets. For more information on how we evolved to this work click on our Bunny Education & Rescue page above. Our VisionOur Pack's vision is that there will be fewer pets entering shelters and more pets staying home, and equal treatment of all animals regardless of breed or species.
A Note On Our Roots Our Pack's roots are in pit bull rescue and advocacy through pit bull dog training classes, post adoption support, and shelter support. Our Pack was one of the orgs to take a Michael Vick dog. Leo came from this case and became a therapy dog and changed many minds about pit bulls through his therapy work with his amazing spirit and personality. Our Pack continued to rescue dogs from dog fighting cases for several years and many of those dogs also become therapy dogs. Then we began to see much less discrimination towards pit bulls and less shelters overcrowded by them. We do not see discrimination from partner shelters at this time, in our local areas. While we mostly take in rabbits from shelters at this time we have not stopped advocating for pit bulls, or any breed of dog. We still provide advocacy through education, training and spay/neuter for dogs to keep them from being surrendered to shelters to begin with.
