I am a group of 1 trying urgently to find like-minded wild animal lovers who will help me form a petition against the City Council to ban the circus that will be coming to Greensboro again next year. So far, the City Council has outright said they will not support the cause! I'm sure it's all about money. But, if I get enough signatures, it might help. Poor little baby elephants, lions, tigers are either bred in the circus or captured (usually mother is killed in the process), shipped to the cir …

I love animals! I have a cat and a dog, and I would have more if it were possible. I have recently become active in rescue work. It is a fascinating and rewarding discovery for me. So I'm starting a Meetup group for other passionate, responsible dog owners that would like to meet others like them. The idea is to get together at least once a month in someone's backyard. (That backyard should have a fence!) Everyone will be resposible for having their pets up-to-date on shots, and cleaning up afte …

Hello, I am starting a group for people interested in doing what they can to help shelter dogs. I work closely with Nash County Animal Friends on Facebook. The founder of this page works tirelessly for free to save the lives of all the animals in the shelter. Cats and dogs. 2 week fostering is very valuable. It gives out of state rescue groups the time they need to prepare a dog or cat to transport legally across state lines. Drivers are also very helpful to transport animals in a timely manner …

Have you wanted to get together with other dog lovers to hike the local parks, take your dog for a pooch plunge or get together at the dog park (private or public)?  If so, come join us on some outdoor adventures. We have a huge cookout/BBQ twice a year at one of the local parks.  All of our events are planned around our four-legged friends. We are a group of responsible pet owners that love spending time with our pets. We ask that only dogs who are vaccinated (distemper/parvo and rabies) and ar …

Let's end the killing of cats. The rate of killing has dropped rapidly with increasing spay/neuter of owned cats.  If one percent of the population adopted a cat and we continue TNR for feral cats,, the killing would end. We as cat lovers can affect policies individually and through organisations if we work together for adoption, education, sterilisation, and collaboration. There is so much great new information about caring for homeless and free-roaming cats. Both individuals and institutions c …
