The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), established by the United Nations, aim to address global challenges such as poverty, hunger, health, and environmental sustainability. While not directly focused on animals, several SDGs indirectly contribute to the welfare of dogs and other animals. For instance, SDG 2: Zero Hunger promotes food security, which can extend to reducing food waste—some of which can be repurposed to feed stray or shelter dogs. SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being includes animal health as part of a "One Health" approach, recognizing that human and animal health are interconnected. Additionally, SDG 15: Life on Land emphasizes biodiversity and the humane treatment of all living creatures, encouraging responsible pet ownership and protection of stray animals. Initiatives aligned with these goals can support feeding programs for stray dogs, promote adoption, and improve veterinary care, creating a more compassionate and sustainable world for both humans and animals.
