Who We Are

Our Purpose
Giving primarily in Connecticut, the Allan Louis Loeb Foundation promotes the wellbeing—and the kind and humane treatment—of domestic animals and wildlife.
 
Our Beginning
Throughout his lifetime, Allan Louis Loeb’s deep love for animals was his North Star, guiding him to become a key figure in numerous local, state, and national civic organizations dedicated to the benefit of animals.
 
In 1996, when Allan died suddenly at the age of 80, his older brother, Lawrence Loeb (1911-2001), established the Loeb Foundation to honor Allan’s lifelong commitment to animal welfare.
