Carter Dillard—the co-founder of Four Feet Forward, a collective of attorneys, accountants, graphic designers, communication specialists who offer their services, pro bono, to help grassroots animal advocacy organizations—recounts the circumstances that spurred him, his sister, Courtney Dillard, and their friend, Adam Sugalski, to create FFF in 2003. As part of recalling Four Feet’s history, he addresses how the founders arrived at 
the name, and discusses, in some detail, the organization’s logo. Dillard also observes how FFF has evolved in its decade-plus existence, and how things have changed regarding the services that client organizations are seeking. He also outlines how the process works for organizations who request help, explaining what happens from the initial contact via the website, through the completion of the project with assistance from a Four Feet Forward consultant. Dillard cites a few examples of projects that seemed distinctive in one way or another, including noting that while their mission leans toward helping new and/or grassroots organizations, Four Feet Forward has in some instances assisted larger, nationally-known operations.
