What We Do
Concerned Citizens for Animal Welfare acts as a catalyst in our community; bringing together the right group of people who will come up with solutions to resolve animal welfare issues. We are not a rescue group, but we know who we can involve to deal with specific aspects of any animal problem at hand. Once our group has agreed upon a solution, we take the lead in setting out an action plan to bring that plan to fruition. We contact people and organizations to obtain the necessary approvals. We provide data & detailed information to the public, government officials, specific interest groups and the media. We make sure that the right information gets to the right people. We act as the spokesperson for the project responding to requests for information and setting up meetings as needed. We follow through on the project from first idea through implementation and operation.
While the animal welfare issues we espouse are those that are overriding and which have community wide impact, we also support those groups and individuals whose focus is more specific, such as spaying and neutering of companion animals to reduce animal overpopulation, animal rescue, wildlife rehabilitation and free-roaming, abandoned and feral cat programs (TNR).
We maintain a network of people and organizations involved in animal welfare issues. We bring together those with like concerns so that they might work cooperatively on resolving a specific problem.
We also, organize and participate in fund raising events whose proceeds are used to support our spay and neuter funding program and the programs of other worthwhile organizations working towards the same goal of making Volusia County a “No Kill Community”.
We are dedicated to the “No More Homeless Pets” movement.
