We promote and protect the health, safety, and welfare of animals and people.

We envision a day when animals are cherished and no longer need us for protection or shelter.

We are trusted in the community because of our professionalism in every interaction – one conversation, one action, one follow-through at a time.

We demonstrate genuine interest, care, and concern for animals and people. We treat all with respect and courtesy, regardless of our differences.

We are honest with ourselves and with others, and we take responsibility for our mistakes. Our values, ideals, and actions align.

In the face of cruelty or neglect, compassion moves us to say out loud, “This is wrong” – and it drives us to take action to end the suffering.

We exemplify ethical and moral behavior.
