"Greater Palm Springs Animal Allies is transforming what animal welfare looks like in the Coachella Valley. From lifesaving adoptions at the Palm Springs Animal Shelter, to urgent wildlife rescue at the Desert Wildlife Center, to affordable veterinary care at the new Desert Community Animal Center. We’re building a regional safety net for animals and the people who love them. This isn’t just about animals, it’s about community, compassion, and innovative solutions. We’re excited to share how we're making that vision real and how you can be part of it."
— Dan Rossi, Executive Director, Greater Palm Springs Animal Allies
We’re proud to close out our 2025 Signature Speaker Series with such a powerful topic and passionate group of changemakers. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn, connect, and support a cause that touches lives across our region.
We look forward to seeing you there!
