Voice for Animals, Inc.
Until they speak to everyone as clearly as we hear them through our hearts, there is a great and urgent need for you to join with us in becoming a Voice for Animals
Mission
The more animals who are spayed and neutered, the fewer who will be euthanized in shelters, become strays, or die lonely, painful deaths. Trap, neuter, and return is now the preferred way of dealing with ferals and we employ this method because we believe it is the most humane. When one teaches by example she never knows how many people she will influence and the animals this will ultimately benefit. Our wider mission is to one day have a shelter/sanctuary where dogs can come from the South and farm animals and horses can find a safe home. Added to that is our goal to put more humane education into schools and on television for people to access. Ultimately, we always endeavor to educate by our collective and individual words and deeds.
Notes from the nonprofit
Voice for Animals is spending much of its energy and money on humane education in classrooms in both New Hampshire and Maine. Additionally we are working to get towns to deal with their cat situations and some money is spend on spay/neuter and other medical expenses.

Voice for Animals' Education and Activism Programs
We help with medical bills, as funds allow and we are often a referral service for other agencies and veterinarians. We have helped groups outside our area who are concerned about animals become nonprofits We educate through our newsletter "The Voice," we have begun putting the magazine Kind News into more and more elementary classrooms in the Seacoast area and are looking to find ways to provide similar information to middle and high school students. Our goal in all of this is to teach students numerous ways in which they can be kind to animals throughout their lives. Additionally, we are joining with the Humane Society of the United States working in New Hampshire as Voice for Animals of Maine and New Hampshire Against Puppy Mills to end the sale of puppy mill animals in pet stores throughout the state. (It has already been achieved in Maine.)
Spay/Neuter of Owned Animals
Spaying and Neutering owned animals who received little or no medical attention because of out right neglect, lack of education, and/or poverty. We have begun using Kind News in 4 school districts in Maine and 4 school districts in New Hampshire. Also, Voice for Animals has an off shoot called Voice for Animals of Maine and New Hampshire Against Puppy Mills which focuses on New Hampshire because nothing had been done to make pet shops stop from selling puppy mill animals. Already we have gotten a pet shop in the Portsmouth, New area to stop selling these animals. Additionally we still have the long-term goal of having a sanctuary/rescue for farm and companion animals.
Education
Through our newsletter, speakers, interviews, providing education materials to area schools and the way we live our lives our goal is the educate the public on the humane treatment of and compassion towards animals
