World Animal Awareness Society & WA2S Films - A Best In America Charity, Top Rated Non Profit and "Best of CFC #80876 Brief Origin Story: On Sunday September 4, 2005 I found myself beginning a new life's mission as I left Michigan for New Orleans and I began to document much of the animal rescue efforts immediately following Hurricane Katrina. What I discovered? An entire world I had no idea existed and one most people never pay attention to: the world of animal rescue. I found people risking everything, sometimes their lives, to rescue these animals, saving other peoples pets. This journey set me on a path to discover/uncover the many ways the World Animal Awareness Society & WA2S Films can assist people. From rescuing people's pets after disaster, like Hurricane Harvey and Irma. To creating interventions from the American Strays 2030 Project data for the US Post Office to help humanely address stray dogs in large urban spaces. To helping service men and women reconnect with a dog or other pet they developed a relationship with where they were deployed - anywhere around the world. To helping keep track of quality animal welfare and rescue organizations and developing partnerships to deploy humane programs, including the "Good Pet Guardian Lesson Plans" developed for elementary school children. The lessons we learned in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina will be providing us guidance for decades to come. We continually share lessons through stories we present at the official WA2S Films YouTube Channel scoring millions of views each month generating thousands of new subscribers through series' like: Operation Houston # StrayDogCity and The Rescuers' DNA, and Detroit Dog Saviors. Thank you so much for your interest in the work of the World Animal Awareness Society - we truly can only make a difference because of your continued strength and support of our mission. Most Sincerely, Tom McPhee Founder, Executive Director & American Strays 2030 Project Lead World Animal Awareness Society & WA2S Films USA Federal employees can pledge to World Animal Awareness Society - a "Best of CFC" #80876 |
