Every dog entering a shelter is adjusting to a new environment. While staff work hard to provide compassionate support, enriching a dog’s life with small, consistent moments of mental and physical engagement can reduce stress, reveal their true personalities, and help them feel more comfortable and confident. This makes a huge difference to their well-being and helps them get adopted faster.
Animal Farm Foundation (AFF) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization built on the principle that all dogs are individuals. Our Foundation relies on science-based information about animal behavior and public policy, including breed-specific legislation and housing insurance discrimination, derived from our subsidiary National Canine Research Council. AFF’s team offers regional and national initiatives that support dogs and the people who care for them in their communities.
