Welcome to the
HAW LIBRARY
Enhancing Human and Animal Well-Being [HAW] hinges on the equitable flow of information. Too often the most useful, lifesaving, information falls out of reach of those who need it the most. We’re determined to change that.
CARE’s Circle of Learning and Leadership will steadily add all that CARE learns and all that your community teaches and shares with us here, within a truly community based circle of learning.
Community Partners can download Limited Access Research & Development studies as well as
Community Animal CARE [CAC] materials as they become available.
Please contact redi@careawo.org for more information on becoming a Community Partner or for information on Research Partnership.

The purpose of this study was to identify the needs and priorities related to housing for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) pet owners in Los Angeles, CA and to identify equitable, accessible, and community-led solutions that improve access to pet inclusive housing for all. A virtual townhall and panel discussion of the research findings and the programmatic and policy recommendations for putting these findings includes: HEART LA, Michelson Found Animals, and National Low Income Housing Coalition

The glass ceiling for BIPOC entrepreneurs is well-documented in the research literature, yet no studies to date have documented the disparities BIPOC entrepreneurs experience in the animal welfare and pet products industry. Please join us as we discuss this landmarker document.







The temperature inside your vehicle can rise almost 20º F in just 10 minutes, and almost 30º F in 20 minutes. The longer you wait, the higher it goes. At one hour, your vehicle’s inside temperature can be more than 40 degrees higher than the outside temperature. Even on a 70-degree day, that’s 110 degrees inside your vehicle!

We believe in the inherent goodness and dignity of all people. Ex-offenders, People without Homes, Seniors, Renters, Families with Small Children, and Yes, People of Color. To that end, CARE’s mission is to bring diverse voices to the Animal Welfare industry while also advocating for a more inclusive path to pet adoption.
