Our Mission: To improve the quality of life of stray animals in Suzhou   Secondary Goals: Prevention: Preventing the occurrence of “short term pets” that are left behind when students leaveEducation: Educating students on what to do when they encounter stray animalsLong term care: Making sure stray animals are cared for in the long term.Our Story:The Animal Welfare Club started its life as a Wechat group named "Puppy Kitten" in 2015. After rescuing three puppies from the cold outside her classroom and finding them good homes, IBSS Professor Ellen Touchstone and other professors and students noticed that a lot more could be done to help the stray dogs and cats around the university. Life for these animals is very difficult, especially in extreme weather or times when food is short, and the Puppy Kitten team helped take care of cold and sick animals and feed the hungry. We aim to continue their amazing work and go beyond to help animals all over Suzhou.
