Institute For Animal Happiness

by Rebecca Moore, founder of the Institute for Animal Happiness

At the Institute for Animal Happiness and vegan animal rescues around the world, Love is not just in action on Valentine’s Day, but every single day. To IFAH, love is a force for healing, and healing can extend to both the caregiver and the nonhuman person receiving care when done in an environment that creates a respectful and thoughtful space for that to happen.

A friend called me in a panic about an injured rooster around a shopping area in Cotati, California. He was part of a group of chickens living in the tall grass around the parking lots. The population was growing as more people were abandoning unwanted roosters and hens due to the recent trend of backyard chicken keeping, which often has good intentions but cruel consequences.

Brooklyn’s Forever Valentine

by Carey Theil, author of Brooklyn Goes Home

When we brought Brooklyn home for the first time, Gina was curious. Then furious. Who was this big white and brown dog, this interloper from the Fare East, doing in her house? More importantly, why was Christine giving him so much attention? It didn’t seem to matter to her that they were both greyhounds.
