Our 2024 Impact Report highlights our work and accomplishments in meeting the evolving needs of dogs and their communities during the year.

Animal Farm Foundation is dedicated to ensuring that all dogs are treated as individuals, which means helping shelters, owners, and advocates respond to each dog’s need rather than stereotypes or breed assumptions based on looks. Our work promotes fairness and equity for dogs and the people who love and care for them. Everything we do is grounded in science, including the rigorous data developed by our research arm, the National Canine Research Council.

Did you know that Animal Farm Foundation offers a variety of programs that support dogs and their people, focusing on community engagement and education?

• Our Old Friends New Loves program connects senior dogs with foster and adoptive families.
• Our Family Food Pantry ensures families can keep their pets by providing pet food.
• Our shelter consulting and training workshops help improve practices and reduce dog stays at shelters across the country.
• Together with our partners, we advocate to challenge biases and promote best practices in dog care and adoption.

A few highlights from 2024 include:

• Expanding our shelter consulting services to over 20 shelters across 13 states.
• Responding to emergencies, for example, assisting during a pipe burst at a partner shelter in Manhattan.
• Providing provided steady, reliable pet food to 11 local food pantries through our Family Food Pantry program.
• Expanding our Old Friends New Loves program to help senior dogs live out their lives in comfort.

None of this would be possible without the incredible support of our partners, donors, and volunteers.
