About Anthem Pets

Anthem Pets is a non-profit organization created in September 2005 to address the lack of facilities for our pets to exercise and socialize.

Our mission is to implement a fully rounded animal welfare program, that provides education and resources to the community at large, promote responsible pet ownership and work on various animal welfare issues. We believe that no pet is a bad pet. With the right education to owners our pets can become ideal pet citizens and live up to their full potential. Anthem Pets promotes pet adoptions, spay/neuter pet programs, lost and found pets in communities, agility training, pet ownership etiquette and much more.
