Our Mission & Goals
The NC Animal Advocacy Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating lasting, statewide improvements for companion animals through advocacy, education, collaboration, and legislative change.
While thousands of dedicated shelters, rescues, and volunteers work every day to save individual animals, we focus on addressing the systemic issues that place so many animals at risk in the first place. Our mission is to bring organizations, communities, professionals, and policymakers together to create practical, sustainable solutions that improve animal welfare across North Carolina.
