MAKING A DIFFERENCE FOUR LEGS AT A TIME Sandy Rescued in 2010. Success through collaboration. That s the principle of collective impact, a unified approach used by organizations to enact positive change and achieve a common goal. The ASPCA Partnership embraces this mentality, challenging communities across the nation to work together to improve the well-being of the animal population. United by a common purpose, we ve succeeded in reducing shelter intake and increasing the number of animals saved while providing valuable benefits to the shelters involved. These results are proof that together, we can shape the future of animal care, touching the lives of all those involved, animals and humans alike. Join us today!

Susie Rescued in 2008. TOGETHER WE CAN UNLEASH HAPPINESS Since 2007, the ASPCA Partnership has worked with animal welfare organizations in communities across the country to reach a shared goal of saving animals lives. Our objective is clear: to provide immediate, measurable and sustainable change for those animals most at risk. We believe that by working side by side with communities, we can achieve significant results for animals, and at the same time, provide valuable benefits for the organizations that choose to participate, including: Specialized staff training Development guidance Trend management tools Coaching Grants
