GENERAL SUPPORT AND RESOURCES FOR PET AND GREYHOUND OWNERS
Responsible Pet Owners Alliance
Responsible Pet Owners Alliance's, "the reasonable voice regarding animal issues", purpose is to make
a lasting contribution to the quality of life for animals and people as animals are a public health and safety issue.
Animal bites, rabies, and other zoonotic diseases threaten the safety of everyone when animals aren’t properly
maintained and enclosed. We strive to change the “attitudes” of pet owners – addressing animal problems with
a positive message, education, and assistance. Responsibly caring for animals involves educating their owners
and instilling realistic expectations of companion animal behavior and of the commitments involved in pet ownership.
RPOA is a non-profit corporation.

Prayers For Pets
Prayers For Pets is a small (but growing)
group of people who love our pets, believe in God and believe in the power of
prayer. Formed in 1997 through a mutual concern for the steady flow
of beloved pets who are sick, injured, lost or in any other kind of trouble.
Though it began with a group of Greyhound owners, our prayers are
not limited to Greyhounds, dogs, or even to animals.
Their focus is pets and animals simply because we saw an
unfilled need. Prayers For Pets gladly prays regularly for
any situation that is brought to the attention of the group whether animal-related or
not.
