information on how to accomplish this for the betterment of our lives, and our towns.
IA-RDO works with a variety of organizations to provide educational materials when requested, and we have "no
favorites". We believe that every individual or organization we work with has valid, credible information,
and we refuse to be partial-preferring instead to get the most factual information available, regardless of its
source, to the requesting individual or organization in as timely a manner as possible.
Our goal is to help unite all who seek responsible ownership as a standard in our lives and for our dogs.

many of these initiatives are part of a radical "animal rights" agenda backed by well-funded groups working
to ultimately ban all pet ownership.
