This month, Ohio Animal Advocates is highlighting a book that is perfect to acknowledge Wellness Month which is observed every August. Wellness is important for all creatures, and author Temple Grandin delves into this and more in Animals Make Us Human: Creating the Best Life for Animals. This book is written for high school/college readers and older as it deals with more complex and potentially heavy topics.

The 2026 grant cycle at Ohio Animal Foundation kicked off on May 1st. They are accepting applications for their small grant program throughout the month of May. The typical grant range is $250-$500.
