Mission Statement

Charm City Companions, Inc. shares information with pet owners and provides free resources to increase pet wellness for cats and dogs in under-served communities in Baltimore City.

Description

CCC is a community outreach initiative, modeled as close as possible to The HSUS Pets for Life community outreach program, which is designed to extend animal welfare resources and information to pet owners who have never received services or have received services without long-lasting impact. CCC is centered in communities that have the least access to services and information -- the truly under-served.

CCC encourages approaching people with respect and accepting that most people love their pets, regardless of socioeconomic status or variations in culture. Through this non-judgmental method, we help elevate the human-animal bond and foster healthy relationships between people and their pets. By improving the relationship between a person and his or her pet, we help to improve the quality of life for both by increasing the chances of the pet staying in the home permanently. This approach is effective because it embraces the human component of the companion animal equation, meeting people where they are and establishing trust, creating a ripple effect in the community for long-term impact.
