At a time when the news and online sources expose one example after another of hypocrisy, wolves in sheep\u2019s clothing, and corrupt animal welfare organizations, we are proud that you recognize our integrity and dedication to animals and to you, the people who care for them.<\/p>\n<p>NAIA is an organization of individuals from diverse backgrounds and regions of our nation. Some are pet owners. Others are dog, cat, bi<span class=\"m_1898922587615177250gmail-text_exposed_show\">rd, or horse breeders, working to preserve their breeds. Still others may be animal professionals or sportsmen.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"m_1898922587615177250gmail-text_exposed_show\">\n<p>What unites us is our common love of animals, the value we place on the human-animal bond, and the importance of animals in our lives. We are committed to protecting our domestic animals and assuring that they will be here for future generations.<\/p>\n<p>As a trusted educational resource for the public, we gather research and share facts and expertise, giving people the ability to make up their own minds about issues and policies affecting animals. Our goal is to help, not to impose dogma. We share knowledge, respect differences, and lead with head AND heart!<\/p>\n<p>Thank you again for being supportive of our work!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1722\" src=\"http:\/\/naiaonline.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/RedValentineHeart-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naiaonline.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/RedValentineHeart-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/naiaonline.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/RedValentineHeart-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/naiaonline.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/RedValentineHeart-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/naiaonline.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/RedValentineHeart-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/naiaonline.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/RedValentineHeart.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.naiaonline.org\/donate\/donate.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Support NAIA Today!<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are proud that you recognize our integrity and dedication to animals and to you, the people who care for them.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[12],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/naiaonline.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1721"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/naiaonline.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/naiaonline.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naiaonline.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naiaonline.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1721"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/naiaonline.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1721\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1725,"href":"https:\/\/naiaonline.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1721\/revisions\/1725"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/naiaonline.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1721"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naiaonline.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1721"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naiaonline.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
