Laws throughout the country treat companion animals as mere property, denying them basic rights often leading to their death. The Center pursues high impact litigation and legal challenges against archaic and constitutionally infirm animal laws to save these animals and advance their fundamental rights against government indifference and abuse. We have saved hundreds of animals in dangerous dog bite defense proceedings, pet custody disputes, evictions and other situations where the law does not protect them and their owners. The Center’s mission is to foremost save lives, protect at-risk animals and cause critical change in the law so it reflects the value people place on their animals today.
