Animal Welfare

Posted on January 12, 2018 by Jenny Proebstle

The Animal Welfare Huddle is committed to the well being and humane treatment of animals. We believe all living creatures should be treated with compassion as a great benefit to the animal and to the person. The WISE Animal Welfare Huddle supports the legislative agenda of the Humane Society and Maryland Votes for Animals. If you would like to join our huddle, please email MarylandWISEwomen@gmail.com.
