OUR MISSION
Companions and Animals for Reform and Equity (CARE), in the interest of Human and Animal Well-being, prioritizes and amplifies BIPOC and other Marginalized Voices using Narratives, Research, and Community-Centered Investments.
Our Method For Change
NARRATIVES
Hear My Story. See My Heart.
Stories shape our vision of the world and often frame our perceptions and biases. For this reason, CARE is producing and sharing stories that celebrate the diversity within human and animal well-being.
CARE CENTERS
Community Wisdom, Community Solutions
CARE is supporting and investing in community leaders focused on sustainable and transformative solutions.
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE & POLICY
Advocating for those on the Frontline of Environmental Disasters
Black Indigenous and People of Color [BIPOC] AND their pets are on the frontlines of Global Climate Change, Air Pollution, and Rising Sea Levels. Millions are paying a price for policies they have little control over. CARE is determined to advocate for people of color and their pets facing Environmental Injustice.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
The Science of Equity
CARE’s Research and Development team is data driven and equity centered. CARE is using evidence-based thought leadership that advances equity and reform for marginalized communities at the intersection of animal well-being and social justice.
CARE GIVERS CIRCLE
Where there are people, there is power
The power in diverse numbers stems from an array of talents, skills, and passionate voices. Our collective force of action takers focuses on supporting equitable and sustainable solutions.

For far too long the field has been serving without listening. Partnership must be the new iteration of service and Access to Preventative CARE starts with partnering with pet parents.
