Working Together to Bring About an End to the Suffering of Valley Animals
The Central Valley Coalition for Animals is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was formed in January 2002 to serve as a community collaboration of animal rescue and shelter groups in the Central Valley. The Coalition provides support services to animal rescue groups and shelters, including pro bono legal services, education and training programs, networking, joint fundraising and volunteer coordination. The Coalition also promotes the welfare of all animals through humane education, recognition of animal advocates, and special campaigns. In April of 2002 the Coalition’s initial Advisory Board, composed of representatives from the rescue and shelter groups in Fresno and Madera Counties, met to develop the Homeless Pet Crisis Project Plan. This plan included the evaluation of the pet overpopulation problem in the Central Valley, and since that time the Coalition’s activities have been designed to implement that plan and bring about an end to homeless pets. Since its inception, the Coalition has been engaged in the following activities:
- Tracking the number of animals being handled by Valley shelter and rescue groups.
- Helping to develop cooperative spay/neuter programs.
- Increasing adoptions by coordinating events like the Super Adoption
- Expanding media coverage of animal issues by co-sponsoring the production of a local Animal Directory given free to all media organizations
- "Recognizing local individuals who make a difference in the lives of Valley animals through the annual "Compassion In Action" Award.

Spay/Neuter Now!
Lost An Animal Companion?
Spay/Neuter Now!
Every year, more than 80,000 dogs and cats, puppies and kittens are killed in valley shelters because there are not enough homes for these beautiful, loving animals. The primary cause of the valley's dog and cat overpopulation crisis is intentional and unintentional breeding. If you are a responsible pet guardian, your dog or cat is spayed or neutered.

These are the faces of the Central Valley's homeless animals -- Two out of three die.
Saving one won't change the world but it will change the world for the one you save.
During 2008, the Central Valley destroyed over 54,000 beautiful dogs and cats. If you lined them up head to tail, they would start in Kingsburg and go all the way to downtown Fresno. Every citizen is responsible for this community tragedy. Be an advocate of the solution: spay/neuter and adopt.
Java meets Blaze. Michelle Shanley of Tulare County Animal Shelter helped to introduce Blaze (left) to Stefanie Krause-Cota's companion Java. Blaze was one of the adorable dogs looking for a new family at Super Adoption 2008 and found his forever home with Stefanie. Stefanie has adopted all three of her family's wonderful dogs from valley shelters.
