Building a Community of Knowledge

There is an untapped wealth of potential that can be tapped by enlisting pet owners and other animal lovers as highly engaged “citizen scientists.”

Through engagement across the spectrum of individuals interested in animal wellness, the Institute will ultimately create a dynamic community of researchers, scientists, practicing veterinarians, academics, and individuals from all walks of life who can mutually add to, and gain from, a growing body of publicly accessible knowledge.

Everyone recognizes that illness and loss are inescapable facts of life. However, the truth remains that we know far too little about what we could — or should — be doing to promote the well-being of the animals in our world. The Institute is based on the belief that by working together, we can improve the quality of their lives, and keep them with us — happy and healthy — for a little bit longer.

Help advance innovative research that improves the lives of animals! Donations in any amount make a difference.
