Resource Acknowledgement
The following resource was originally developed for The Open Sanctuary Project as part of Dr. Emily Tronetti’s dissertation project in pursuance of her Doctor of Education (EdD) through Antioch University and the Institute for Humane Education. Emily specializes in adult humane education and applied animal behavior, and is passionate about helping advocates and organizations cultivate compassionate coexistence through teaching about and supporting the agency and wellbeing of other animals. We are so grateful for her collaborative efforts and contributions to The Open Sanctuary Project.

Enter either your organization’s name or your name and email below to download a free Consent Handout that you can print and share! You can even provide the handout to visitors and encourage them to go home and practice consent-based interactions with their companion animalsAnimals who spend regular time with humans in their home and life. Typically cats and dogs are considered companion animals, though many species of animals could also be companion animals.. Then, you could ask visitors to report back (such as via social media) on how it went and what they learned. This can help visitors take what they learn at the sanctuary and integrate it into their daily lives.
