The Inner Pup

Genie and Lindsay Goldring were not comfortable with the trends they saw — too many animals in shelters or on the streets. They couldn’t wrap their heads around the challenges shelters faced and realized shelters could only do so much. Shouldn’t the solution for animals begin with people? In 2015 they founded The Inner Pup (TIP) with a plan for on-the-streets outreach and humane education in neighborhoods with little or no access to pet resources. These areas have a high number of animal control visits, dog fighting, abuse, and animal surrender is common. The flagship programs, Heartworm & Flea Prevention Clinics and Humane Education, are thriving and changing the community from the inside out, person to person, one pet at a time.
