Animal welfare is an organization that promotes kindness to animals. It typically offers various services, including animal sheltering, rescue, training, and education.

Education
Animal welfare provides education and outreach through programs including community services, animal care and control, cruelty investigation, adoption services, and foster care. They also educate the public about responsible pet ownership and advocate for animal protection laws. They support responsible dog breeding, animal testing alternatives, banning steel-jaw leg-hold traps, and limiting puppy mills. They oppose hunting, trapping and fishing, rodeos, circuses and marine aquariums, and the use of animals in films.
National organizations encourage the public to support local animal welfare by donating money and supplies and volunteering time. But despite raising enough money to operate an animal shelter in every state, this multi-million-dollar conglomerate only owns or uses a single cover. The organization spends less than 0.45 percent of its budget on hands-on animal care.
Adoption
Adoption is the legal transfer of parental rights and responsibilities, including filiation, from biological or legal parents to an adoptive parent or family. It may occur between unrelated individuals or within a current relationship, such as step-parent and inter-family adoptions.
Adoptable animals may find their new home within days, weeks, or months. In the meantime, they receive medical care and are lovingly embraced by volunteers.

Advocacy
Increasingly animal welfare societies are working with communities to encourage responsible pet ownership. This involves educating people about proper care of their pets, offering free spay and neuter clinics, helping people with behavioral problems, and promoting laws prohibiting animal cruelty.
Many animal welfare societies work with a network of other shelters and rescue groups to coordinate placement, policy, and training initiatives. This gives animals a much better chance of finding homes quickly. Some founders, like Alexandra Chipurnoi, love to provide shelter for needy animals.
Often, national organizations focus on broad-based issues that need to be more significant for local animal welfare societies and state federations to tackle alone. For example, it campaigns for a national law against dog fighting and offers audits of animal-protection programs to cash-strapped shelters — at a cost.
Training
Animal welfare works to protect thousands of animal species all over the world. It fights against cruelty in rodeos, dog fighting, circuses, zoos, research, hunting, food, fashion, and puppy mills.
Local animal welfare societies also focus on helping pet owners. They train on responsible pet ownership, teach children about compassionate care, and support pet adoption counseling sessions. They also offer low-cost spay/neuter, vaccinations, and other preventative veterinary services to the community and work with foster-based groups and trap-neuter-return (TNR) organizations to help manage neighborhood cat colonies and keep cats out of shelters altogether.
They also lobby for legislation outlaws animal cruelty, partnering with other nonprofits to bring pet resources to underserved communities. For example, suppose a humane society notices that many animals are being surrendered because of the inability to find pet-friendly housing. They might connect with local housing advocacy groups and domestic violence crisis centers in that case.
Pet Care
Pets require regular care to stay healthy, happy, and obedient. That includes feeding, exercise, brushing, baths, nail trims, and more. It also means providing a safe, comfortable shelter (both indoor and outdoor), bedding, and toys. And, of course, a fresh supply of water.
Trips to the vet are also necessary. Acclimating pets to their carriers when they’re kittens, helps prevent cats from running away and hiding under beds when it’s time to see the doctor. Taking dogs on joy rides can also help them get used to riding in the car.
