About
Life of Riley, a signature program of Spring Point Partners, advances animal welfare by investing in diverse leadership and community-driven solutions.
We fund programs and initiatives that advance animal welfare in the pet industry and across our communities. Our partners protect, elevate, and celebrate the bond between people and pets.
Who was Riley
Riley was our beloved dog, who spent her first six years confined in an inhumane breeding facility before being rescued and adopted into a loving home. Her story of survival and resilience inspired Life of Riley.
Our Values
Life of Riley believes all progress in animal welfare, including ending inhumane breeding, requires a strong movement.
Strong movements are composed of advocates who listen deeply, act with humility, and treat everyone with respect. That means we are:
Collaborative
Strong organizations exhibit behaviors that bring people together and build each other up. They set aside differences to look for common ground, and actively seek opportunities to collaborate.
Open
The best advocates see today’s adversaries as future allies, and create space and opportunity for everyone to be their best for the animals.
Inclusive
A strong animal welfare movement is diverse and includes all animal advocates regardless of their race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, socio-economic status, or physical abilities. Read more about our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion goals here.
Respectful
Strong movements address differences in strategy, viewpoints, or approach through respectful dialogue instead of engaging in bullying or disparagement of other colleagues or organizations in the movement.
Life of Riley is proud to partner with individuals and organizations who share these values as well as our deep commitment to ending inhumane breeding and creating a more humane world for all animals.
