#ItsBullAwareness
Society has evolved. Dog advocates should, too. It’s time to put an end to special events for dogs labeled “pit bull” and focus on dogs as individuals.
Our Programs
Service Dogs
Our Service Dog program highlights the fact that every dog, no matter its breed, breed-mix, background, or what it looks like, is an individual. This program changes the lives of the dogs and makes the world more accessible for people with disabilities.
PAWS of Purpose
We work with the NYC Department of Correction (DOC) to make a positive impact in the lives of dogs and people through a program that teaches dogs basic manners and helps inmates with life skills.
Our Grants
Community Grants
Animal Farm Foundation grants funds to animal welfare organizations who share our philosophy of treating all dogs as individuals. Our grants fund initiatives for outreach, enrichment, socialization, adoption, and education, as well as play yard construction.
Detection Dog Grant
We grant funds to Sector K9 for the training of former shelter “pit bull” dogs as police dogs, detecting drugs and guns. The dogs work within communities to create safer environments for everyone. Sector K9 donates the dogs to select police departments.
Community Resources
Shelter and Rescue Resources
Support the dogs in your care from intake to adoption and learn how to proactively connect with your community with our ebooks, posters, videos, and other resources.. . .
Community Advocate Resources
Support the human-canine bond within your community with information on fair and non-discriminatory practices, which, unlike BSL actually work.
