What we do
The naia and you
Despite our core mission to promote animal welfare and strengthen the human-animal bond, we've unwaveringly dedicated over 30 years to advocating for animal lovers and the people who care for them, people like you. From collaborating with government officials, academics, and scientists to enduring threats from animal rights extremists, we've stood strong for the truth. More than just an animal welfare organization, we're passionate animal lovers advocating for the well-being of our furry companions. As dog and cat enthusiasts, we tirelessly fight for the rights of animal owners through advocacy and legislation. Whether you have a special furry friend or support our cause, we represent you because we are you. We are NAIA.
