Hi, I’m Steven Monahan, Founder-Executive Director of Green Pets America Charities. 

OUR MISSION

Green Pets America Charities was founded in 2007.  After surviving a terminal illness the year before, my life views dramatically shifted.  I left the corporate world where I was a fortune 500 executive and decided to start a non profit community based animal pet food pantry. We named it Meals Fur Pets. A few years later we expanded and started a death row shelter group as well.  Having survived death I was drawn to help death row dogs receive the mercy of a second chance at life as well.

In addition to a food pantry and animal rescue group we  have honored our local working Police K9s by providing a fenced safe rest area at the Woodstock police station for a K9 outdoor “Break Room”.  With a large fenced space to relax the K-9’s no longer have to sit in a police cruiser for an extended time period while their handler completes arrest paperwork at the police station. Our police K9’s are on the job protecting us 24/7 and Green Pets America believes we all should love and celebrate these working officers, with the dignity, honor, and respect they deserve.

Green Pets America Today

Today, beyond implementing immediate lifesaving strategies and programs,  our focus is on uplifting animal welfare and animal sheltering from its unconscious past and leading it forward as an expression of societies enlightened 21st century love of its companion animals; as family members and sentient beings.  Our primary focus now is to dramatically change the culture of animal sheltering in America.  To that end we have developed a vision for a joining of municipal sheltering with the consumer pet industry. To spread our concept of a modern and compassionate no kill sheltering vision for this 21st Century we have published three animal welfare books: Rescue Renew Rehome, Art of the Black Dog.Project Black Dog Adoption. 

In 2015 Steven wrote his first animal welfare book: RESCUE RENEW REHOME. The book lays out his  vision for 21st century Celebration Villages across America. They will bring forth a new enlightened, compassion based thinking for animal welfare in America.

The book has received numerous 5-star reviews for its message of integrating pet retail with pet adoption to end pet homelessness in America.

Many animal welfare organizations across America are working tirelessly to save  shelter animals. And as this life saving mission is being addressed daily,  Green Pets America and others are also working on planning the future of sheltering as well. In this article we want to share with you our vision for changing the failed industrial era animal sheltering model, replacing it with a new, from the ground up sheltering paradigm being demanded by an awakened and educated animal loving society.

Our Vision

 

Celebration Village

Each multi acre, multi task, multi million dollar investment community animal center, will be developed and funded by the local government it resides within. Each community center will include a no kill adoption center and animal sanctuary. Each Celebration Village will be anchored by a national pet store, along with a myriad of retail pet boutiques. Additionally on the multi acre community destination site there will be a state of the art veterinary facility, pet hotel, pet grooming store,  pet friendly restaurants, and a multi acre indoor and outdoor pet event facility.

Think Disney, think Celebration, think a bonded community of pet lovers spending the day together. A celebration of life.

Best Friends animal society is without a doubt the foremost non profit animal welfare group in America. They have a program to end homelessness for animals by 2025. Here is an excerpt of their strategy on the future of animal sheltering in America. No one organization can change a broken system. Working together however animal welfare organizations across the U.S. will get it done. The tide has shifted, people have awakened, and a new sheltering paradigm will be in place by 2025 in America.

Here is an excerpt from the Best Friends website.

” Best Friends has been promoting for several years in conversations with other leaders in the movement and with our 2025 National Steering Committee partners begins with an understanding that animals don’t belong in shelters (as they are currently configured) in the first place. Consequently, any brick-and-mortar facility intended to provide services to community pets and their people should be designed from the start with that in mind or repurposed with that as a priority.

Our placeholder name for the envisioned operation is a community animal resource center. It will prioritize allocation of work space away from impoundment and toward community services that help residents keep their pets in their homes and keep transitioning homeless pets out of the shelter and in foster care.

Pet wellness and low-cost spay/neuter services are must-haves, as well as volunteer-powered community cat programs. Staff will be trained in community relations to bring pet support services to low-income communities. Facilities will have space dedicated to family-friendly activities such as training classes, and staff will organize pet-centric community activities such as hikes, dog agility teams and children’s engagement programs. What temporary sheltering is needed will be designed to reduce the stress of resident pets and boost adoptions.

This is not going to happen overnight, and it may sound like “pie in the sky” but many of the elements of a community approach to animal care and protection are already here, as part of the national campaign to achieve no-kill nationwide by 2025. In our vision of the future, a highly engaged and technology-networked animal-loving community will be the guarantor of animal health and safety — and we will all be better for it.
