Who we are
The Conscious Pet Owner is a 501-C3 non-profit based out of northern Georgia. Our mission is help others nurture animals by providing knowledge based husbandry and care, while also building a meaningful connection with that animal as the sentient living being they are with compassion. The number one cause of abuse in animals is not a lack of compassion, its a lack of information. Our team has decades of experience in all aspects of animal husbandry such as veterinary medicine, animal breeding, training and rescue. We are dedicated to providing support and education to those wanting to take on responsibility for another living being in hopes to decrease the need for animal rescues, and the prevalence of husbandry based medical conditions in the future. We hope to be able to educate owners on not just the how, but the whys of animals care. Animals have evolved for thousands if not millions of years to behave a certain way, and need certain things. These needs and behaviors maintain weather they are in your living room or the jungles of South America. Our hope is by helping owners understand these behaviors, and the whys that go into their companions' care we may lower the rate of animals in need when owners realize these needs retroactively. We recognize and own this is a lofty goal, that will take a culture shift, not just increased education. Because of this we also offer support to rescues, sanctuaries, and animals in need by offering expert advance, resources, and supplies when the needs arise.
