The ALDF’s Pro Bono Program (PBP) leads the nation’s largest Pro Bono Network for animal protection. Working to expand the practice and understanding of animal law in the legal community, the Pro Bono Program partners with law professionals and pro bono coordinators across the country to support ALDF litigation, legislative, criminal justice, regulatory, education, and operational projects.
The Pro Bono Program also provides Pro Bono Network members with the opportunity to provide volunteer legal support on community legal assistance requests. Examples of these requests include animal-friendly organizations needing contract, employment, or real estate guidance, and community members seeking guidance on matters involving animal law, including animal custody disputes, dangerous dog designations, landlord/tenant matters, service animal issues, animal advocate guidance, animals harmed by neighbors, and more.
As an attorney member, you’ll receive these membership benefits:
- ALDF’s newsletter: The Animals’ Advocate

- Email updates on cases, news, events, and education and employment opportunities
- ALDF folder, pen, sticker & more
