Every year this program engages and recognizes students who want to advocate for shelter animals. We are thrilled to announce 21 National Mutt-i-grees Student Ambassadors will lead the way across the nation in raising awareness. Spanning the country from New York to Los Angeles from seven to fourteen years of age, these students will take action to engage their community on the importance of rescue and what it means not only to animals, but to people as well. 

They will demonstrate the significance of the human animal bond to cultivate empathy. We are inspired by these young people coming forth to take action in making this world a better place for homeless pets and educating the public on the importance of shelter adoption. It proves to students that at any age you can make positive change happen. The Ambassadors continue to amaze us with their ideas, leadership, and commitment. We proudly support our Ambassador Team on their Mission for Mutt-i-grees and look forward to all of the great things they will accomplish. Please follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to watch these kids take action!
