Mission, Vision & Values

• Covenant Rescue Advocacy exists to illuminate the benefits of animal rescue by living it out as an integrated part of our lifestyle in order to show respect for God's earth and creation.
• Our goal is to model and encourage the reality of living with, fostering, adopting, and otherwise caring for animals as a form of respect toward that creation.
• While we believe that animals are not equal to or above humans, we believe that we are called to respect all creatures to the best of our ability by addressing the issues of humane treatment, animal overpopulation, and animal rehabilitation so that animals can fulfill their purpose on the earth, which includes their use in companionship, therapy and education.

"Then God said to Noah...I now establish My covenant with you and your descendants after you and with every living creature that was with you--the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you-- with every living creature on earth." (Genesis 9:8-10, NIV )
