What We Do
The Animal Institute is a 100%-volunteer 501(c)3 charitable nonprofit animal protection organization. We address challenges and need gaps that other animal welfare organizations and government agencies do not. Some of our programs are local to specific communities at the grassroots level, while others address unfilled needs for large geographic areas.
Wildlife Clinic
Our wildlife rehabilitation experts are licensed by the Department of Natural Resources to save lives and provide care to wild animals in need.
Education & Community Outreach
We are committed to providing first-class educational opportunities and resources, to ensure that people understand and treasure the animals in their lives.
Technology Solutions
In partnership with the Georgia Tech College of Computing, we create revolutionary tools for animal protection and digital destinations for learning about animals.
Why We Created the Animal Institute
With more than a dozen years each of active animal rescue experience, Joanne and Chris Benson recognized that there were many animal protection needs which were not being met - or even addressed - by the existing nonprofit organizations and government agencies. They founded the Animal Institute to address unmet needs pertaining to companion animals, farm animals, and wildlife.
While some programs are local and grassroots in nature, others take advantage of Chris Benson's expertise in technology, software development, and artificial intelligence - and are scaled to provide essential services to large geographic areas and populations.
Every dollar donated - and volunteer hour served - goes directly to implementing animal protection solutions, since the Animal Institute is a 100%-volunteer 501(c)3 charitable nonprofit animal protection organization. By design, there is no bureaucracy to support, and no jobs to fund. We are entirely focused on empowering our wonderful volunteers who do amazing things for the animals they love.
