Develop and provide services to improve protection of companion animals, help elevate their status in society, and increase lifesaving without the use of coercion, intimidation, pain, force, or fear leveraging. PTA’s public awareness & education programs seek to decrease abuse, harm, abandonment, & neglect while increasing care, safety, & well-being. We view “rescue” as a principle that guides myriad practices leading to safe, well, & happy animals. Each of our projects is one star in a constellation of humane, anti-aversives education, training, & emotional / behavioral literacy programs for companion canines and their humans. Through these, we work toward a day when the revolving doors of suffering and surrender are replaced with completely capable forever homes.
