Our work is not done alone. OAA advocates for animals by effecting systemic change and working for the humane treatment of all animals in communities across the state through education, outreach, and campaigns.
Fundamental change can be accomplished through the collaborative efforts of diverse stakeholders who come together to work on innovative solutions.

OAA is building a statewide network of partners including social workers, veterinarians, prosecutors, attorneys, law enforcement, counselors, teachers, and policymakers, local, state, and national animal welfare organizations, as well as grassroots and grasstop organizations and members. OAA provides:
- An on-line clearinghouse of training, information, and resources on critical issues impacting animals and humans
- Regional and statewide training and conferences that will bring diverse stakeholders together to collaboratively work on solutions to shared challenges
- Policy summits to strategically identify the root causes of abuse and develop campaigns that will address both short- and long-term solutions
- Statewide surveys of advocates and partners to assess public trends on animal welfare
- Profiles of partners with an array of resources serving animals in communities across Ohio
