Webinars
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.
Webinars
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.
