Herman Bennett Foundation

The Herman Bennett Foundation was founded in 1996 by Herman Bennett, a long-time resident of Camarillo, CA. Herman Bennett had a tremendous fondness for animals, especially cats. Disturbed by the suffering of so many animals, Mr. Bennett wanted to establish a legacy that would "make a difference" - thus, the Herman Bennett Foundation. The Foundation is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to providing educational programs that will promote responsible animal care and diminish the number of homeless animals and the number of animals that are euthanized each year.  Website

National Canine Research Council

The National Canine Research Council has as its mission to publish accurate, documented, reliable research to promote a better understanding of the human-canine bond. Two decades of intensive research, during which the NCRC has developed the most complete body of data available on incidents of canine aggression, have taken us beyond the limitations of epidemiological studies that focus on the dog and the single vector of breed. Our historical approach has yielded an understanding of the relational dynamics between dogs and people that no single-vector approach can replicate, and of the responsibilities of owners and professionals – all the people directly associated with the human-canine bond – to the community, and to the dogs.
