Oceanites is the only NGO championing science-based conservation for the 53 signatory countries of the Antarctic Treaty system and international awareness of climate change through the lens of Antarctic penguins. Our institutional memory, scientific expertise, and unique ability to translate complicated science into easily digested take-home messages uniquely position us to positively shape public awareness of climate change. The message Oceanites and its principals take forward is that our future depends on whether we, like penguins, will adapt and still have a decent home, food to eat, and good health, and continue to produce children for generations to come.

Kiski Valley Cat and Kitten Rescue is dedicated to the prevention of cruelty and neglect towards cats by providing shelter to homeless cats until they can find them permanent homes of their own. Necessary veterinary treatment, including spaying, neutering, Distemper, and Rabies vaccinations are obtained for them. Euthanasia is not considered unless a cat is gravely ill and it needs to be done to prevent or end the cat's suffering.

They are a nonprofit, no-kill shelter dedicated to rescuing retrievers in need.

Second Chance Animal Sanctuaries, a grassroots endeavor created in 2001, grew out of the need to influence local public attitude toward domestic animals and to find an alternative to the high euthanasia rate that currently existed in our area. Our goal is to provide a humane, lifetime care sanctuary for the care and rehabilitation of abandoned and at-risk animals. We currently provide outreach education programs and networks for animal fostering and adoptions. Our vision is, through example, advocacy and outreach, to make a real difference in not only the animals we help but in future treatment and respect for all life, great and small.We opened our sanctuary in September, 2016 and focus primarily on stray and abandoned dogs and cats. We serve Tioga and Potter Counties in Pennsylvania.

THEIR MISSION: Founded in Baltimore, a campaign created in response to the alarming incidence of animal abuse in the U.S. Show Your Soft Side is a public service campaign that was created to change the mindset of young people who all-too-often view the maiming and torturing of defenseless cats and dogs as a sign of “toughness” or “manhood.” The campaign’s message that compassion towards animals is a sign of strength, not weakness, is one that, overnight, struck a nerve with old and young alike.
