HAP has worked with numerous cities, boroughs, townships, and all manner of municipalities over the years to express our shared commitment to animal and environmental protections. What follows is a collection of our proclamations and resolutions all with a shared goal of furthering our missing, and making the greater Pittsburgh region more compassionate and humane.
