Inside This Issue
From Our CEO
As you’ll read, in February, the Animal Rescue Foundation became Joybound People & Pets. While our name has changed, our mission and vision have not. In fact, as Joybound, we are better equipped than ever to work toward a future where every dog and cat has a safe, healthy, loving home and every human has access to the unconditional love that only a pet can bring.
The Joybound “joy bond” isn’t just between people and their pets; it connects all of us who know it and share it. That’s what our new name is all about: healthier, happier lives for pets, the people who love them, and the compassionate communities we create together. I couldn’t be prouder to share with you everything we’re up to.
Susan Lee Vick
Chief Executive Officer
