Mission Statement of SPAAN

Our mission is to help eradicate animal neglect and abuse by raising awareness about the devastating effects on pets everywhere. We believe that animals, as well as all living things, deserve to be treated with compassion. We also feel that if a person willingly chooses to take an animal into his/her home, it must first be decided that the necessary funds, time, and dedication are available for the pet to live healthily.

Welcome

Hi all!

This blog will substitute the typical website normally set up for groups and organizations. I think it will be a great way to share information and discuss different ideas we have to help our group along.

Let me start with this disclaimer: though I am considering making this an actual school organization, at this point in time it is not. All facts, statistics, opinions, etc. in this blog are real, but anything that may discuss group events, fundraisers, or meeting times is NOT REAL. I repeat, do not show up for any of these events (in the case that any get posted) because they are FALSE, FAKE, ERRONEOUS, etc, etc, etc!!!

With that said, allow me to introducing myself and our new group. I am Devan Parker and I am a junior at West Chester. Since I was young, I have been incredibly fond of all animals with an incredible inclination towards dogs. I have two of them: two beautifully sculpted labrador retrievers. I also have a cat named Annie.
I have created SPAAN for a school project (Activism and Advocacy...one of the greatest classes I have ever taken) that requires us to create or join a campaign that we may (or may not) have a particular interest in. I have chosen to focus on abolishing animal abuse and neglect in and around West Chester (for the purpose of a college group) but in reality, I would love to see this problem end everywhere.

So far, this organization is a group of one, but I am hoping a few friends are willing to join the cause, just for the sake of making my project look a little more feasible.

Follow me if you please!
Devan
