The Everyday Love of Animals Sparks Kindness
The love of animals sparks kindness in communities across the country, and the More Than a Pet campaign is dedicated to shining a spotlight on these everyday heroes. By acknowledging the good deeds and selfless acts of individuals like Moore, we can inspire others to make a difference in their own communities.

The Power of Community
Everyone can be a hero for animals in their local communities by taking small actions. By offering to transport a friend or neighbor to a veterinary appointment, buying an extra bag of pet food, or fostering a pet in need, we can create a ripple effect of kindness that can have a lasting impact.
We believe that kindness is a choice, and that every small act can add up to make a big difference. — Kitty Block, founder of the More Than a Pet campaign
The numbers are staggering. In a nationwide poll, 43% of pet owners have faced financial barriers in their efforts to meet their pets’ needs, and 91% of pet owners are willing to make personal sacrifices to care for their pets. With 89% of Americans agreeing that no one should have to give up a pet due to financial hardship, we have a clear mandate to take action.
Creating a Humane and Compassionate World
By supporting local communities and providing resources for pet care, we can create a more humane and compassionate world for everyone. The More Than a Pet campaign is dedicated to bridging systemic gaps in resources, and we are proud to have served over 570,000 pets and their families through our programs. Key Highlights:
- More Than 570,000 pets have benefited from our programs
- Partnerships with Smalls, Tractive, and Hartz have helped us amplify our reach
- Support from Jackson Galaxy and NBA All-Star LaMelo Ball has added to our impact
By working together, community by community, we can create a world where no one has to sacrifice their pet due to financial hardship. The More Than a Pet campaign is committed to making a difference, one small act of kindness at a time.
