The entire AWA enforcement infrastructure — inspections, long-standing policies, fines and public accountability — is in shambles. And gleaning what is happening is no small task given the USDA's buried data and the anonymity granted too much of the industry. USDA inspectors are the first line of defense for animals covered by the modest requirements of the AWA. The agency must restore their authority and resume publishing un-redacted records to regain public trust.

Most of us know deep down there is more to life, and more to our dogs – I mean have you seen how they look at you sometimes! They 'know' a lot more than we often realize, they are also very sensitive to our busy world and the energies in it. Caroline's work invites us to leave our old paradigms ways of training or living with the dog as a thinking being and move into our hearts, seeing dogs as a true feeling being, acting and being motivated to behave solely through their emotions and their hearts magnetic influence.

Today Cindie is joined by Michael Morefield of the Arizona Animal Welfare League & SPCA. Founded in 1971, AAWL strives to be the community's leading source for pet adoptions, affordable veterinary services, volunteer opportunities, humane education and expertise in animal welfare.

AAWL is a registered 501c3 and receives its funding through donations and grants. AAWL rescues more than 4,000 dogs and cats each year through rescue group and shelter partnerships, owner surrender programs, and a foster department that takes in over 1,500 puppies and kittens each year.

In their constant fight against puppy mills, they replaced a puppy mill mall store 8 years ago and have done over 8,000 adoptions from that location, showcasing rescues and animal welfare to a new audience. They are constantly innovating and creating programs to best help animals and the community.

Whether that is a slumber party program, pop up adoption events, creating a coffee that pays for animal vaccines, or wacky marketing efforts, they work every day to end pet homelessness across Arizona.
