Membership
Join a Verified Global Network for Animal Welfare
Membership connects pet owners, professionals, and organizations into one coordinated, accountable network — with a role defined for every kind of participant.
Who membership is for
Every Participant Has a Defined Role
WPA membership is not a single tier — it's a structure built around the different people and organizations that make animal welfare work: individuals who care for animals directly, professionals who provide treatment, and institutions that fund or coordinate programs at scale.
Each membership type comes with its own verification requirements, responsibilities, and access — so that pet owners, veterinarians, clinics, shelters, NGOs, volunteers, donors, and corporate partners can all participate meaningfully, without diluting the standards each program depends on.
