Formulated in 1990 by Penelope Smith, founding pioneer Animal
Communication Specialist,

Our motivation is compassion for all beings and a desire to help
all species understand each other better, particularly to help restore
the lost human ability to freely and directly communicate with other
species.
We honor those that come to us for help, not judging, condemning,
or invalidating them for their mistakes or misunderstanding but
honoring their desire for change and harmony.
We know that to keep this work as pure and harmonious as possible
requires that we continually grow spiritually. We realize that
telepathic communication can be clouded or overlaid by our own
unfulfilled emotions, critical judgments, or lack of love for self and
others. We walk in humility, willing to recognize and clear up our own
errors in understanding others’ communication (human and non-human
alike).
We cultivate knowledge and understanding of the dynamics of human,
non-human, and interspecies behavior and relationships, to increase
the good results of our work. We get whatever education and/or
personal help we need to do our work effectively, with compassion,
respect, joy, and harmony.
We seek to draw out the best in everyone and increase understanding
toward mutual resolution of problems. We go only where we are asked to
help, so that others are receptive and we truly can help. We respect
the feelings and ideas of others and work for interspecies
understanding, not pitting one side against another but walking with
compassion for all. We acknowledge the things that we cannot change
and continue where our work can be most effective.
We respect the privacy of people and animal companions we work
with, and honor their desire for confidentiality.
While doing our best to help, we allow others their own dignity and
help them to help their animal companions. We cultivate understanding
and ability in others, rather than dependence on our ability. We offer
people ways to be involved in understanding and growth with their
fellow beings of other species.
We acknowledge our limitations, seeking help from other
professionals as needed. It is not our job to name and treat diseases,
and we refer people to veterinarians for diagnosis of physical
illness. We may relay animals’ ideas, feelings, pains, symptoms, as
they describe them or as we feel or perceive them, and this may be
helpful to veterinary health professionals. We may also assist through
handling of stresses, counseling, and other gentle healing methods. We
let clients decide for themselves how to work with healing their
animal companions’ distress, disease, or injury, given all the
information available.
The goal of any consultation, lecture, workshop, or interspecies
experience is more communication, balance, compassion, understanding,
and communion among all beings. We follow our heart, honoring the
spirit and life of all beings as One.
