You have found the Progress Through Photography Blog – an animal homelessness blog from the Phoenix Metro area. Our mission is to use the power of photography to end animal homelessness.
Our focus is on the underlying, structural and systemic reasons that drive and force people to surrender pets and pets to become homeless. Addressing these “big picture ” drivers will ultimately end animal homelessness.
The Big Picture – the systemic drivers of animal homelessness consist of:
Commerce: The existence of for profit breeding.
Consumerist Behavior: Impulsive Decision making when ‘acquiring’ pets
Costs: High Cost of Medical Care
Capacity: Shortage of Foster Parents
Control of reproduction: Spaying and Neutering to prevent increase in population
Cohesive Families: Families are torn apart by landlords who do not allow pets in rental housing
Civic Engagement: Need for improved education and enhanced animal protection / abuse laws.
Check out the PTP Academy to learn what you can do to end animal homelessness.
