1st Annual Pet Wellness and Community Event hosted by The Red Lake Nation
Companions and Animals for Reform and Equity (CARE) are proud to partner with the first ever Awesiinyag Are Loved Clinic for Pets August 16-18 at the Red Lake Nation in Minnesota.
This is one of the few animal welfare events that considers cultural appropriateness for the people being served by bringing them to the table. With tribal input and permission, pet owners who are part of the Anishinaabeg of Red Lake Nation will be able to access a variety of veterinary services, such as free vaccination and wellness checks, and spay/neuter services to stop pet overpopulation.
Companions and Animals for Reform and Equity (CARE) Hires New Chief Engagement Officer
It’s no secret the animal welfare industry lacks diversity and equity, and is not always welcoming to people of color. Companions and Animals for Reform and Equity (CARE) is a nonprofit started last year to disrupt and reshape the way this nation addresses the needs of not only dogs and cats, but more importantly the people across all boundaries who share their lives with them. To be successful in this important campaign, the right people need to lead the effort.
Atlanta veterinary technician to be surprised with new van to help transport animals of low-income pet owners
When you own a pet and don’t have resources, taking your cat or dog to the vet poses a lot of challenges. Most people don’t understand that transportation is extremely difficult for low income people with pets. Public transportation doesn’t allow pets to be transported and most taxis or Uber rides won’t transport an animal as well.
