Our Work Family Promise is a nonprofit organization committed to helping low-income families achieve lasting independence. The problem of poverty is complex.

Our strategy is to focus our efforts on five programs that work together in a holistic, integrated approach. Because the five programs support one another, each of them is far more effective than it could be alone.

For nearly 30 years we were located in a practice 1 mile east of our current location, and after many expansions, moved to our new facility. We have now passed our 35th anniversary, and our practice philosophy has not changed. Our decisions have always been based on the best care and treatments for your pets entrusted to us.

Angels for Animals


Angels for Animals was seeded as a dream in the minds of Polly Wardle and Diane Less Baird. It took root on top the backs of horses, a mutual love of the two co-founders. With the help of a lawyer, Angels then officially sprouted and was incorporated in 1990. From the fertile thoughts of such a mission, education was chosen as the nurturing trunk from which all would branch off and bud. By educating the public and pet owners on responsible guardianship and the ???importance??? of spaying and neutering, these two women could change the perception of animals as property to companions and reduce the senseless number killed because of overpopulation.

Kitten Krazy, Inc.

Kitten Krazy, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located on private property in Brunswick Hills, Ohio and operated by an all volunteer staff.
