  • Safe Spot Skate Spot Program, which seeks to create safe and legal havens for skaters across the country through the Rob Dyrdek Foundation.  Its main goal is to t assist municipalities municipalities with the design, development and construction of skate plazas that maintain the integrity of terrain occurring naturally in urban environments, and where the sport of skateboarding in its purest form is encouraged rather than discouraged.
  • Provide communities with safe, and legal skate plazas to skate • Increase and encourage the active engagement of people in the sport of skateboarding • Promote healthy and sustainable communities through exercise via skateboarding • Design, develop and construct Skate Plazas in municipalities throughout the world

  • The Sk8 4 Life Program seeks to create and maintain healthy and sustainable communities by providing youth with free skateboards to both exercise and stay physically and mentally fit.
  • Skateboard Giveaway- The Rob Dyrdek Foundation has partnered with Skate Pass to provide schools and 501(c) 3 organizations whose targeted demographic has a need for and the ability to distribute free skateboards. (i.e. Boys and Girls Club, Elementary and Middle Schools)
  • HOW TO GET INVOLVED These are many of the same tactics that have worked to get skate parks built across the US. The important thing to remember: you don’t want a skate park, you want a Skate Plaza. Stick to your guns, and remember to educate as many people as possible about the Skate Plaza concept. 1. Organize a group of skaters—the larger the better. 2. Talk to your local skate shop and see if they’ll help you organize and have meetings in their shop. If you’re under 18, you’ll probably need an adult to help. Good sources are a local skate shop owner or a parent. 3. Start a petition. It’s always good to hit your city with big numbers to let them know there’s a huge demand that’s not being met. Take petition forms to your local skate shops and ask the managers if you can leave them for people to sign. Pick them up in about two or three weeks
  • Take petitions to your schools. Take them to local skate parks and skate spots. There’s a good chance that most skaters already see the need for a Skate Plaza. If they don’t, you can explain it this way: “Want a Love Park here?” That should get their attention and explain the idea. Have your friends and family help you by taking the petitions to work.

  • Here are some other signs and symptoms that we see in many of the cases we investigate: Tick or flea infestations. Such a condition, if left untreated by a veterinarian, can lead to an animal's death. Wounds on the body. Patches of missing hair. Extremely thin, starving animals. Limping. An owner striking or otherwise physically abusing an animal. Dogs who are repeatedly left alone without food and water, often chained up in a yard. Dogs who have been hit by cars-or are showing any of the signs listed above-and have not been taken to a veterinarian. Dogs who are kept outside without shelter in extreme weather conditions. Animals who cower in fear or act aggressively when approached by their owners.
  • If you aren't sure where to report cruelty, please visit our Report Animal Cruelty section.
  • Without phone calls from concerned citizens who report cruelty in their neighborhoods, we wouldn't know about most instances of animal abuse. It all comes from the public, it all starts with YOU—that's why it's so important to keep your eyes and ears open.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  •  If you have pets, be sure to always show them the love and good care they deserve. But it's more than just food, water, and adequate shelter. If you think your animal is sick, bring him to the veterinarian. Be responsible and have your animals spayed or neutered. And give your pets lots of hugs!
  • If a parent isn't treating the family's pets right, we tell the kids that their dog or cat would really appreciate fresh water every day or some daily playtime. If the animal has been left outside without shelter, we'll say, 'You have a nice house, and if you get cold, you can put a coat on. But your dog can't do that.' Children understand that animals are living creatures who have the ability to feel pain, joy and sadness.
  • Support your local shelter or animal rescue organization. It's a great way to make a difference. Some of our ASPCA volunteers foster animals who have been abused in their former homes, giving these dogs and cats the chance they deserve to have a good life.
  • Get to know the animals in your neighborhood and invite your friends and neighbors to do the same. Together you can keep an eye out for any suspicious behaviors—abuse and neglect of companion animals, the mistreatment of local wildlife, dogs left in hot cars and other signs of abuse.
