Overview
Mission
The organization's mission is to promote and advance the humane treatment of animals, primarily dogs and cats, to foster kindness to animals and to promote their welfare through humane education programs.
What it reported doing in 2024
Mutt-i-grees curriculum - a national program that raises awareness of the plight of shelter animals, elevates the status of mixed breed dogs and increases shelter adoptions to reduce euthanasia. The curriculum is the intellectual path to no-kill and the scholarly road to pet adoption. The program was developed in multiple phases in collaboration with the yale university of the 21st century. It is an innovative program that builds on children's affinity for animals and highlights the unique characteristics and desirability of mutt-i-grees, or shelter pets. The goal of the mutt-i- grees curriculum is to enable children to grow up to be calm, confident and caring. The curriculum teaches social and emotional skills and is unique in its bridging of humane education and the emerging field of social and emotional learning (sel). Sel is a process by which children learn to manage their emotions, get along with others, have empathy and compassion, and discover essential teamwork skills. These skills are important in life, but also academic achievement. Studies show that children do better in school when they are socially and emotionally competent. Most importantly, the curriculum is viewed as a social and intellectual path to a no-kill nation, a path that will lead to the adoption of a dog or cat from a shelter as the only responsible choice for young adults to make.
