Kitty City Kansas Rescue is a group of unpaid volunteers dedicated to saving homeless kittens and cats from euthanasia in kill shelters and to adopting them into approved, permanent, loving homes.  We are a no kill organization.  Our kitties live cage free in licensed foster homes in the metro area until they are adopted. On weekends all of the foster homes bring the kitties to our adoption center for adoption. If not adopted, they return to a foster home to be loved and cared for until adopted. We specialize in rescuing very young and often ill or injured cats and kittens frequently bottle feeding and nursing them back to health

Bama Bully Rescue, Inc. is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization located in Alabama that works with shelters and the public in finding homes for Pit Bulls and "Bully breeds" that have been abandoned, abused, neglected, or fallen victim to other situations in their lives. "Bully breeds" helped by BBR may be: American Pit Bull Terriers, American Bulldogs, Mastiffs, Boxers, and some "Bully breed" mixes. BBR strives to educate the public about the true nature of such breeds and encourages responsible ownership by offering training, behavioral and health care advice in hopes to decrease the number of Bullies that would, without such support, be relinquished.

The Utah Animal Advocacy Foundation (UAAF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization specializing in the rescue, rehabilitation, and placement of homeless animals. UAAF is an active participant in the Best Friends Utah coalition and is working closely with other coalition members to help end the euthanasia of homeless pets. We are an all-volunteer organization and rely entirely on public support for our continued success. UAAF believes that every animal deserves a home regardless of age or disability. We specialize in the rescue and rehabilitation of 'special needs' animals including orphaned newborns, senior animals, animals with behavioral issues, injured animals, and animals with ongoing health problems. Since our founding in September 2002, we have successfully placed hundreds of these deserving animals into loving homes.

Critter Camp's Mission is to provide a safe, healthy, happy forever home to unadoptable small exotic and unusual pets. These animals are unadoptable due to advanced age, chronic illness, aggression and/or excessive fearfulness, generally from abuse or neglect. Many come to us from other shelters where they were to be euthanized. Our main goal is to provide care for as many of these forgotten pets as possible. Critter Camp's secondary goal is to educate the public on the needs of these pets for two outcomes. One is to help current pet owners provide better care of their pets, the second is to prevent impulse buying of these types of pets by creating educated potential pet owners. Critter Camp also has an Emergency Help Program where we assist pet owners in keeping their pets during times of crisis such as unemployment, health issues, house fire, and natural disasters. We may temporarily house the pet, provide food, caging or other supplies, and occassionally assist with veterinary care costs.

Like all humane groups, MAGDRL is in the unique position of helping both humans and pets. In our case, the pets are Great Danes and mixed Dane dogs, and the people are all those who have or want the companionship of the breed or, often, just dogs in general. MAGDRL helps people to determine the right breed of dog for their lifestyle, find healthy and companionable Danes that fit their circumstances, find loving replacement homes for Danes they can no longer keep, become knowledgeable about the care and training of their Great Danes, resolve their Danes physical/behavioral problem, overcome the grief at the loss of their loved pet, and stretch their tax dollar by assuming the Dane burden from public shelters. MAGDRL helps Danes by providing for the rescue and care of those who have been abandoned, neglected, and/or abused by their previous owners, spay/neuter and provide medical treatment as necessary to return the Dane back to good health, supply training/socialization to ensure their adaptability to new, good homes, and work to place rescue Danes to people who provide secure, loving, and healthy homes.

B Noble Farms is a non-profit animal rehabilitation center serving the North Texas area. We are dedicated to rescuing animals for whatever reason- dogs who are at high risk of being put down in public shelters, horses or dogs who are surrendered by owners due to difficult circumstances and those who are in danger of being abused or neglected. We place our animals in dedicated, loving and permanent homes. Through out adoption process we take great time and care to find our animals good matches. B Noble also wants to educate prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing an animal (big or small) into their lives, homes and hearts. All animals in B Noble's care receive all appropriate veterinary attention and treatment. All dogs and cats are spayed/neutered and kept up to date on all shots. Our horses are gelded, kept up to date on shots, farrier services, and teeth floating. We assist horses, dogs, and cats without regard to age, breed, or ease of placement. B Noble staff takes their time accessing all of the animals' needs while in our care. Some animals can not be adopted out due to health issues, temperament, and age. Those animals find refuge at our rescue and will live out their remaining years at our ranch. Finally, we strive to work with our local shelters to improve the lies of homeless or abused animals. Our goal is to teach responsible pet ownership and the humane treatment of animals.

Progeny provides diverse communities with an opportunity to engage with one another. A program of education draws parallels between community cohesion and the environment, by focusing on a large interactive sound installation touring throughout the United States and Europe. Artists, investors, educators and beneficiaries metaphorically become part of a hive community. Modeled after the interior of a Langstroth beehive, 10 partitions clad in acoustic panelling are lifted from the ground and supported by custom-built flooring. By walking through the maze like chambers, each person forms part of a complex sonic landscape, which despite the inherent visual barriers heightens participants' awareness that their own presence can be felt elsewhere. Concurrently, participants are acutely aware that they are not alone. As the numbers increase the space becomes alive. A community is born. Following each exhibition the installation is transported to the next destination. The children and adult arts education program combines academic study and practical workshops with performing and visual arts. The wax that binds this project together, making it truly unique and accessible is provided by another thriving community; honeybees. Core Values Building Communities A community is all about connections - connections between individuals and connections between people and the other species with which we share the planet. We aim to promote social and ecological awareness within these communities and to celebrate the relationships that make life meaningful. Caring for the environment A sustainable society utilizes natural resources in such a way that future generations will benefit. By environmental stewardship and positive action, we can all be part of a solution to maintain an ecological balance and live within the ecological and resource limits of our communities and our planet. Inspiring innovation and creativity The arts have a unique position within our global community. They educate, inspire, challenge and enrich. We promote creativity as a method for education, academic achievement, social and emotional development, civic engagement, and equitable opportunity. After all, we're all part of the progeny.. Background Beekeepers engage in a systematic migratory procession carrying up to 200 hives on flatbed trucks in search of seasonal pollen. Inside each Langstroth Hive lives a colony of 20,000-80,000 European honeybees. When the colonies are placed by the beekeeper in the new ecosystem, the bees begin their procession with the unified goal of feeding and caring for the next generation of their colony. How does a community of bees survive this migratory process? How do these colonies adapt to new and temporary ecosystems? How do they function within the limits of a man-made architectural object? Bees live in extraordinarily complex and cohesive societies. They coordinate virtually all of their activities with other individuals to ensure colony survival. Much can be learned and transferred from bee society to human society, including maintaining public health; organizing efficient information, communication, economic and transport systems while maintaining harmony. Each bee has a specific role in constructing a healthy society - as does each human. Should any segment of the societal body suffer, the whole body suffers. Progeny is a human project exploring a microcosm of human community through interaction inside an architectural space similar to the hive. The artists have figuratively become beekeepers. The hive-based installation is man-made. The structure is disassembled, transported on a flatbed truck to another temporary location where it is reassembled. With each exhibition an opportunity is provided for a new community to evolve, learn, adapt and interact.
