Join Life of Riley at Spring Point for New Perspectives: Human-Animal Connection and Advocacy, a free webinar series designed to strengthen our collaborative efforts to end puppy mills and other forms of animal cruelty.
Life of Riley’s partners are dedicated to making the world a better and more caring place for animals. But they need your support to create a future where animals are free from harm and in loving homes.
We recognize that puppy mill rescues and advocacy groups are already skilled in the direct rescue and care of animals, as well as in passing legislation, pursuing litigation and the prosecution of animal crimes, and other legal techniques to protect the welfare of breeding dogs. This webinar series aims to complement existing skills, resources, and knowledge by introducing new perspectives, research and advocacy tools from other social justice movements, and discussing how learnings from different sectors might inform efforts to end puppy mills and other forms of animal cruelty.

Join Life of Riley at Spring Point this fall for a fully interactive virtual conference!
Life of Riley is committed to building platforms that foster a culture of trust, listening, and relationship-building. Through our monthly webinars, our community has grown to welcome folks from the pet industry, animal advocacy groups, academia, government agencies, and human service providers as well as veterinary clinics and animal shelters.
This fall, we will create even more space for these diverse stakeholders to build bridges, explore nuances, and together create a better world for animals together. To facilitate further access and interaction, we’re holding a national virtual event meant to bring the conference experience straight to your living room!
Participants will show up ready to learn, contribute, and form new relationships over three half-daysof active conversation, deep engagement, and pet-friendly fun. Hear Life of Riley grantee partners tell stories that bring people together, walk away with actionable insights for embracing the complexity of our field, and recommit to our collective goals of making the world a better place for animals and the people who love them. We hope you will join us.
