Working on dog and horse issues the last 8 years in Georgia we felt we needed to engage a professional team to lobby for positive changes in statewide public policy surrounding our dogs, horses and cats.   Our 501C4 is in process and will be named:

Georgia Companion Animal Coalition

We have engaged the professional lobby firm, Cornerstone Group, to advise and assist us in our efforts. 

2024 Georgia Responsible Pet Owner Initiative

Georgia-Waving-Flag-of-USA-state-Georgia

Our first legislative effort will be to ask the Georgia State decisionmakers for the funds to build a program designed to start to stem the tide of animals coming into Georgia's Animal Shelters at breakneck speed.

 

Please share this with your state lawmakers and ask for their support.  As a constituent, you are far more likely to get their support than any political group because you are voters in their district.  That's why it is critical that Georgia's animal lovers reach out personally with phone calls and/or emails to their state senators and representatives.
