“Co-founder Genie Goldring, the beating heart of TIP, has always amazed us. Her tireless efforts to help the community don’t just start and end with TIP, but with her constant advocacy to ensure every last community member (human or pet!) can live in safe and healthy conditions. We’re honored to work with her each and every day.” - From the TIP Family.
And from Genie herself, “Animal welfare begins with people. And sometimes the best way to help an animal is simply to help the person who loves them. This is so much of what The Inner Pup is about.”
