Happy New Year!

As our first year draws to a close, we wanted to take a moment to reflect upon our accomplishments and consider how far we've come in just one year.
Together we have:

- Provided humane education workbooks for Send A Kid To Camp – a program of the City of Dallas Parks & Recreation Department that serves 1,300 low-income children in 19 under-served areas of the City

- Provided humane education videos and workbooks for the City of Dallas’ 44 after-school programs serving 3,000 elementary and middle school children in low-income areas

- Taught pregnant moms and dads how to prepare their pets for the arrival of a new baby

- Held a successful book drive to collect children’s books about animals for a planned humane education library at the City of Dallas new animal shelter scheduled to open in 2007

- Provided humane education workbooks, lesson plans and materials, as well as hundreds of brochures and promotional items for kids to the Humane Education Officer for the City of Dallas Animal Services

- Enlisted the help of a number of Metroplex businesses and individuals to provide monthly humane education messages to the public

- Created an online community where animal welfare volunteers and shelter staff can network and have access to a library of information they need

- Developed a monthly speaker series to bring experts in the field of animal welfare to speak to local rescuers and shelter staff on matters of concern to them

Thanks to all of you who have provided support and encouragement. We are changing the way our society views companion animals. There is still a lot to be done but with your continued support we will achieve our goals and elevate the role of companion animals in our society.
