SitStaySpeakOut fights for dogs, cats and animals in poor conditions, such as puppy mills. We amplify and support media initiatives that build awareness of animal abuse and encourage people to put an end to it. The organization was born in 2016, and is an approved 501(c)3 charitable organization. All donations are tax deductible.
We believe that over the last couple of decades, our society has edged toward a tipping point. Every time a prospective pet owner turns to a rescue organization or humane society, we challenge the idea of animals as a commodity. And it’s happening more and more often, thanks to the amazing advocacy and animal care provided by those organizations.
Now we see an opportunity to bring awareness to the masses — to meet them where they are when consuming media. By supporting video projects that speak to people emotionally and intellectually, we can catalyze change that endures. We can make this world a better place for animals, and for all of us.
Director Pete Schuermann has been working for over 5 years with the assistance of SitStaySpeakOut.org in creating a documentary feature film that seeks to be the definitive look at the dog breeding industry in the US. This film, previously titled A Voice for Lil Olive, is being redeveloped to follow recent trends and changes within the breeding environment. To learn more about the film and how you may be able to help please contact us at info@sitstayspeakout.org And follow this site. We will share relevant information on this project as it develops.
