COMPANION ANIMAL RESOURCES

For many pet welfare related quesions, start with AWIC's Companion Animal Page. I assembled the initial version of this page of links for The Animal Welfare Information Center(AWIC) of the National Agricultural Library and AWIC staff are still adding to it. There are over 100 links and various topics including Birds This was meant to help answer many of the questions AWIC gets on pet welfare, either by the FAQs or by referring to other web sites.

General (mostly dogs and cats):

• Taming it Down: Arks Animal Tracks page for pets
• ASPCA's Ani-Med^TM Pet Care Information Tips
• American Humane Association's Pet Behavior page
• Dumb Friends League(was Denver Dumb Friends League) Animal Advice & Information Page and Behavior Helpline info

 Professional Organizations:

• American Dog Trainers Network- includes resources, articles related to dog behavior and training plus a FREE canine resource and referral hotline
• Animal Behaviorists Certified by the Animal Behavior Society- a list of animal behaviorists that are determined to be highly qualified in behavioral consulting.
• The Anthrozoology Institute
• The Delta Society-dedicated to training animals for therapy and more
