Mission Statement
Our Mission Our Pack, Inc.'s mission is to keep pets from entering shelters in the first place, by facilitating the lifelong bond between pets and their people by providing education, free spay/neuter, training advice, post adoption support and rescue. Our mission is to also keep rabbits from entering shelters and educate the public on proper care. We have found similar misconceptions about them in regards to care and behavior as companion animals as we've seen with dogs. We are working to see rabbits have better lives through education, rescue, and help with spay/neuter. There has also been an increasing number of abandoned rabbits to shelters and on the streets. Our Pack, Inc.'s vision is that there will be fewer pets entering shelters and more pets staying home, and equal treatment of all animals regardless of breed or species.
About This Cause
A Note On Our Roots and the Evolution of Our Work Our Pack, Inc.'s roots are in pit bull rescue and advocacy through past pit bull dog training classes, post adoption support, and shelter support. Early on, we instituted novel programs that many shelters are still using today. Additionally, Our Pack, Inc. was one of the organizations to take a Michael Vick dog. Leo came from this case and became a therapy dog and changed many minds about pit bulls through his therapy work with his amazing spirit and personality. Our Pack, Inc. continued to rescue dogs from dog fighting cases for several years and many of those dogs also become therapy dogs. Since then, we've begun to see much less discrimination towards pit bulls. We do not see discrimination from partner shelters, in our local areas, at this time. However, we now see rabbits as needing advocacy. They are very much misunderstood, just as pit bulls were when we started our rescue efforts. Many do not know how to care for them or what their behaviors mean. And some do not understand what sentient beings rabbits really are. Phrases like, "it's just a rabbit", similar to phrases we heard regarding pit bulls. While we now only take in rabbits from shelters, we have not stopped advocating for dogs providing advocacy through education, training advice, and spay/neuter to keep them from being surrendered to shelters to begin with.
