At Cool Cat, we believe in re-investing in our community. Each quarter, a portion of our fees is donated to a different animal advocate or nonprofit. Now, that's something to howl about! (Dog People, you didn't think we'd leave you out, did you?) This quarter, we've chosen to partner with Saving Paws Rehab, an emergency medical fund for Apache Junction's city-run shelter.

animal cruelty investigations training for police
We offer free briefing training for all law enforcement agencies in Arizona! This includes basic coverage of ARS 13-2910 (the state animal crimes statute), along with canine interaction and safety tactics. Our flash course is great for patrol officers, detectives, and especially FTO teams!

She has trained law enforcement personnel across the US as a contract instructor with the University of Missouri Law Enforcement Training Institute's National Animal Cruelty Investigations School, and has completed AZ POST General Instructor certification.
