🐾 More from our World Animal Day celebration! 🐾

On Sunday, we shared our special World Animal Day video featuring Pennsylvania legislators and the animals they love. Today, we’re continuing the celebration by sharing each of their photos individually!

We weren’t able to tag everyone featured in the video, so we wanted to make sure each participating legislator — and, of course, their adorable animal companions — got their moment to shine.

Thank you to all of the legislators who joined us in celebrating the incredible bond we share with animals and the importance of building a more humane Pennsylvania for all.

Be sure to check out Sunday’s video to see everyone together!

Several years ago, Humane Action Pennsylvania received a microgrant from Awesome Pittsburgh to support our HAP Hive program, helping us create more pollinator-friendly spaces and engage our community in protecting the small but mighty animals we all depend on. 🐝🌼

Last week, Janay Coleman, HAP’s Community & Business Engagement Consultant, joined Awesome Pittsburgh to celebrate alongside fellow past awardees and learn more about the many creative, community-driven projects Awesome Pittsburgh has helped bring to life over the years.

We’re grateful to have been part of that history—and grateful for organizations like Awesome Pittsburgh that believe a relatively small investment can help a great idea grow into something meaningful. 💚

Thank you, Awesome Pittsburgh, for supporting HAP Hive and so many other projects making our region a better place!

🌎🧤 What a great morning in Mount Washington!

Thank you so much to everyone who joined Humane Action Pennsylvania for this past weekend’s plogging event. With your help, we cleaned up 2 TVs, a bunch of tires, and about 10 full bags of trash from the neighborhood.

Every piece of litter removed helps make our community cleaner and safer for people, pets, and wildlife.

And a special shoutout goes to Kathryn, who wins “best trash found” for discovering the furry boots featured in one of these photos. 😂🥾

We’re so grateful to everyone who came out, pitched in, and made a real difference. Small actions add up, and together, we had a big impact! 💚

Last night, we held our quarterly Volunteer Meeting! 💚🐾

It was wonderful to connect with some of the dedicated people who give their time, energy, and voices to help us build a more compassionate Pennsylvania for all animals.

We shared updates on our current advocacy efforts, upcoming events and initiatives, and the many ways our volunteers can get involved in the months ahead. There’s a lot happening at HAP, and none of it would be possible without the people who show up alongside us.

Thank you to everyone who joined us last night—and to all of our volunteers for being such an important part of this work! 🐝🌱🐾

Interested in volunteering with HAP? We’d love to have you join us! Email our director of operations at [email protected]

We’re so grateful to Awesome Pittsburgh for 15 years of investing in ideas that make our region a better place! 💛

Humane Action Pennsylvania is proud to be one of the 180+ projects supported through an Awesome Pittsburgh $1,000 microgrant — funding that helped us turn an idea into meaningful action for animals, people, and our community.

Thank you to Mayor Corey O’Connor and his team for sitting down with us to talk about the impact of community-powered funding, and congratulations to Awesome Pittsburgh on 15 incredible years! 🎉

Here’s to many more awesome ideas becoming reality. 🐾🌱💛

A few photos from this year’s Kennedy-Lawrence Dinner! It was lovely to see Pittsburgh Mayor Corey O’Connor and run into our friends at Fifth Influence, including Lenore Wetzel.

We also appreciated the excellent vegan options, from dinner through dessert. Thoughtful plant-based choices help make events more welcoming, and we were glad to see them on the menu! 🌱

Connections and community like this help HAP to continue our work on behalf of all animals!

Our Philadelphia Program Manager, Jackie, had a great time representing Humane Action Pennsylvania at the ! 🌱🐾

It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with the Philadelphia community, meet new people, and share more about HAP’s work to advance protections for animals across Pennsylvania.

We’re excited to keep building relationships throughout Philly and growing our community of people who care about creating a more humane future for all animals. 💚
