The Pegasus Foundation improves the welfare of wild and domestic animals in the United States, the Caribbean, Kenya, and on Native American lands by reducing animal suffering and overpopulation, and by protecting wildlife habitats.

The Caring Fields Animal Sanctuary was established as an affiliate of The Pegasus Foundation in 2004. The sanctuary, located on 23 acres in the countryside of Palm City, Florida, houses non-profit organizations that provide assistance to neglected or abused horses and cats. The sanctuary also includes an education center, which reached a total of 3,000 children and adults during the last six months of 2006.

The Pegasus Foundation’s Caribbean Animal Welfare Initiative supports animal welfare programs throughout The Bahamas and the Caribbean with training, resources and funding. The Caribbean Animal Welfare Initiative addresses a wide range of animal welfare issues, including dog and cat population control; reduction of free-roaming animals through education, legislation, and sterilization; animal cruelty and its links to crimes including interpersonal violence; and incorporation of animal welfare issues into disaster planning. Since 1997, the Pegasus Foundation has supported animal welfare programs on islands in The Bahamas and the Caribbean. The Foundation’s Caribbean Animal Welfare Initiative, launched in 2002, has three primary goals:
1) Provide resources, training and support to animal welfare organizations;
2) Provide a communications network – especially during disasters; and
3) Develop support for animal welfare from the tourism industry through the Caribbean Animal Tourism Support project.
