Our Tenets
1. Have each other’s 6; leave no one behind.
2. All humans are animals; therefore, treat all animals with respect and dignity, regardless of bipedalism.
3. Be yourself while also being compassionate and tolerant to all members and patrons.
4. Hold yourself accountable for your own actions; own up to your mistakes and help resolve them.
5. Ensure a safe and tranquil environment for all.
6. Trust is earned, not immediately given.
7. Morals and beliefs may not infringe on the rights of others.
We are not an animal haven or shelter.
