You’d think that people would be exhausted after 24 hours of dog training, behavior lectures and playgroups. Well, not the group at the first Bound Angels University training this last month. Steph Cooper from Brightside Animal Center in Oregon has trained with Bound Angels on numerous occasions and is a top behaviorist trainer who also runs Lead and Love Dog Rescue. …

More than 6 years ago, I was somewhat new to the shelter community and the way in which I would shape Bound Angels.

I’d like to share with you my letter to Governor Jerry Brown to urge him to reconsider his position on the changes to the Hayden Law. I hope you’ll join me in pointing out the benefits of a law that saves the lives of the most innocent victims of our state’s economy, our companion pets. This law is important for …
The utter dismantling of The Hayden Law is a death sentence to countless thousands of animals at risk in the California shelter system. The modifications of this law will remove the most important and primary rights that animals need to stand a chance at rescue and adoption.
