“There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they are falling in.” - Desmond Tutu

Our Neighbors are in Need

  • Too many people are forced to surrender their pets

  • Too many dogs & cats are homeless in shelters

  • Too many pet owners cannot afford vet care

  • Too many in the community suffer when pets suffer

  • Too many pets are hurting

Thank you so much for this heartworm clinic! Two years ago I was out of work for almost a year due to illness. This was a godsend to make sure my dogs had heartworm prevention. And an added bonus I found my new vet whom we just love!! Thank you 🙏🏼

Education

Focusing on the Next Generation of Pet Owners

Geared toward teaching responsible pet ownership to the next generation, TIP's lessons help students develop social - emotional skills and practical knowledge. We do this through our two-week Canine Compassion curriculum, after-school club, Sit-Stay-Read, and digital classroom.

I, for one, would have to give my elderly fur babies up if it were not for Inner Pup...They would end up in a shelter, where no one would want them because they’re too old...well, they’re NOT too old to love and neither am I, that’s what Inner Pup means to me...we are loved....
