Amy’s Purpose is an education 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to coyote and predator awareness and promoting safety information to help protect your beloved pets. Its mission comprises community-based education outreach programs; local student scholarship veterinary assistance scholarships to help rectify current emergency veterinarian care crisis; and offer individuals pet loss grief counseling. We are working on establishing a streamed speaker’s series to address the dangers of wildlife, stray domestic animals, and even humans. Featured guests would include officials from California Department of Fish and Wildlife; published authors of books on predators; company representatives of pet safety aids; veterinarians and other animal healthcare workers; pet owners to talk about their own experiences; and more. To combat the current animal healthcare workers shortage crises, Amy’s Purpose has partnered with PaCE, a Partnership and Community Education program at the College of the Desert that provides professional development and workforce training for a variety of positions including veterinary assistants. Our goal is to provide scholarships to PaCE students committed to working with local veterinary clinics. The 150-hour course costs $3,195 and is open to all ages. So far, the scholarship effort has been highly successful. To learn more, please go to our tab entitled Vet Crisis/Scholarship Program. We also would like to offer monthly grief group counseling (inhouse and zoom), for those who have lost a beloved pet. We also want to provide social media and website alerts on sightings and attacks, and to give pet owners a place to share their stories. The team at Amy’s Purpose believes in acting with urgency to raise public awareness about some of the most pressing issues facing pet safety. Please join us by supporting our efforts to make a measurable difference in the lives of your pets. We do not advocate harming any wild animal. BE AWARE – NO FEAR!
