These too are small but reputable community shelters and sanctuaries all over the USA that you may not know about. Some of these websites listed are Animal Welfare Agencies that list multiple shelters and sanctuaries for their states. Many go through Petfinder. Take a look and see if you'd like to help some of these shelters or even just one. All these animals deserve a loving home and a second chance. It's a shame I need 2 pages. Let's make a wish come true...



			Laura is one lucky chicken. A driver spotted her on an Alabama road used by trucks headed to a nearby slaughterhouse, where she would have been strung up by her legs and killed after a terrible life on a factory farm. Thanks to the driver's quick thinking—and help from PETA—Laura is now in a loving, permanent home where she enjoys the feeling of grass under her feet and the warmth of the sun on her back. Most chickens will never be as fortunate as Laura. Each year in North America, more than 9 billion individual chickens are slaughtered for chicken salad sandwiches and buckets of wings. During the Super Bowl alone, 1.2 billion chickens' wings are eaten, meaning that 600 million birds are killed. Birds like Laura account for more than 97 percent of all animals bred on, confined to, and killed on factory farms and in slaughterhouses. And because these birds are not protected by any federal law, factory farm workers maim, torment, and slaughter them in the most painful ways. Won't you please support PETA's lifesaving efforts for animals who aren't as lucky as Laura by making a generous contribution right now? No one would tolerate an industry in which billions of dogs and cats were kept crammed together in filthy barns, were beaten by workers with sticks and even crowbars, and then had their throats cut and their fur scalded off. So why do some people think it's OK when this happens to birds? PETA is determined to work hard to end the horrendous abuse of chickens and other animals on factory farms and in slaughterhouses. By working nonstop to bring vital reforms to restaurants and grocery-store chains and their suppliers, PETA has helped reduce the suffering of millions of individual animals. Our lifesaving efforts have already helped countless chickens, turkeys, pigs, lambs, and cows unlucky enough to be thought of as a product instead of as a living being with real feelings. But while we're making tremendous progress, most "Lauras" raised for food will never be able to escape the factory farm or slaughterhouse. These billions of animals need PETA and our compassionate members, like you, to help reduce their misery, take away their pain, and make their fear fade away. By making a gift online right now , you'll help strengthen our efforts to help chickens, pigs, and all animals. Together, we can stop some of the worst abuses in the industry and make life much, much better for factory-farmed animals. Kind regards, Ingrid E. Newkirk President P.S. Some people may not find chickens like Laura as cute and cuddly as the animals we call our companions. But just like cats and dogs, these are wonderful beings who deserve to live free from abuse. I know that you feel the same way. That's why I hope you will help us lessen the suffering of chickens and all animals by making a special online donation to PETA today.

About Us In Portland Oregon

Born Again Pit Bull Rescue (BAPBR) was founded in 2007 by Angela Adams. We have since grown from a small independent private rescue to a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization in 2011. We are located in Portland, Oregon and we work with the public in finding homes for Pit Bulls that have been abandoned, abused, neglected, or fallen victim to other situations in their lives. BAPBR strives to educate the public about this breeds true nature and encourages responsible ownership by offering training resource and health care advice in hopes to decrease the number of Pit Bulls that are given up each year.

BAPBR’s mission is to rescue pit bulls from local area shelters, rehabilitate, re-home(find qualified homes for these great dogs), and repair the reputation of the American Pit Bull Terrier, along with promoting responsible pit bull ownership. BAPBR is also passionate about setting pit bulls and their owners up for success through education, awareness and advocacy. We also combat pet overpopulation and fight unfair legislation’s.

The Pet Food Bank... These Folks Could Use Some Help...

The Pet Food Bank is a non-profit program.
It collects and distributes donated pet food and supplies to animal rescue organizations. In 1993, Renee Carleton started volunteering for Friends For Pets Foundation (Weimaraner Rescue). She helped transport dogs and do home visits for potential adoptive families. She quickly learned of the difficulties an animal rescue faced. Besides the daily care of the animals, the incoming donations didn’t always cover vet bills and food. Last week alone, TPFB received over 80,000 lbs. of pet food.

The Wish List.......

Plastic garbage bags, especially large
Paper towels and toilet paper in bulk
Brooms/buckets/brushes/cleansing supplies
Doghouses, Dog runs
Stainless steel dog bowls
Leashes, large dog collars
Large dog toys, rawhide bones, biscuits
Old sheets, pillowcases, towels, blankets and washable rugs

Food is not the only items she was collecting. Many of the rescues need crates, collars, leashes, and medical supplies. Renee found sources to donate these items. That source also brought in supplies for guinea pigs, hamsters, bunnies, birds, turtles, and reptiles. Renee contacted local schools to donate these items for the classroom pets. At last count, TPFB was supplying three local school districts.

Mission Statement: Animal Rescue Corps’ mission is to end animal suffering through direct and compassionate action, and to inspire the highest ethical standards of humanity towards animals.

Purpose:

Animal Rescue Corps (ARC) is a nonprofit animal protection organization that takes direct action in three ways. First, we conduct rescues of animals who fall victim to abuse and natural disaster. Second, we create public awareness of animal suffering. Third, we offer training and assessments for animal shelters, professionals and volunteers. We work closely with government institutions, law enforcement agencies, other animal protection organizations, and communities to improve and strengthen relationships between humans and animals.

Animal Rescue Corps seeks to inspire a fundamental idea: that our responsibility to animals is vital, and all lives have value. This ideal benefits us all in many ways — our physical safety, our economic systems, our mental health, our emotional well-being and our environment.

Nash County Animal Shelter North Carolina

The reality is that the Nash County Animal Shelter is EXTREMELY small. Only 16 dog kennels and only a few cat cages. Sad to say, they still also use the gas chamber. Currently 39% of the pets are PTS by humane injection, including babies under 4 months and pregnant animals. We wish for it to be 100% but more than that, we don't want any adoptable animal killed by any method.

This is a website that is one person making a difference. Animals Need Help. Profits Go To ASPCA.

On Christmas eve I was talking to him about other ways that we could help abused animals, PETA and the ASPCA he suggested we create a blog and use it to educate people about animal abuse. We also added links to a few pet supply companies that we are affiliates of and make a small percentage from every sale made through our site. We will donate 100% of the profits we make from this blog to the ASPCA or a local animal shelter. Please help us to prevent animal cruelty, animal testing and animal neglect by spreading the word and shopping with the wonderful pet supply sponsors on our site.

About Us

The Monmouth County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was founded in 1945 to care for the community’s homeless, neglected and abused animals. We are a private, not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization led by a volunteer board of trustees. We are an independent organization not affiliated with, and receiving no funding from, the ASPCA, HSUS or Associated Humane Societies.

Our Mission is to protect and advocate for all animals. We are dedicated to enforcing animal cruelty laws; providing a safe haven for homeless, abused and abandoned pets while they await adoption; reducing pet over-population through spay/neutering; and cultivating their humane treatment through education and service as a valuable community resource.

Finding the perfect pet takes time. The process usually takes at least an hour, so please plan accordingly. All adoption paperwork must be submitted to the front desk one hour before closing. You can save some time by completing an Adoption Survey in advance and bringing it with you. Thank you! Did you adopt recently? Here is a digital copy of our Adoption Kit.

We would love to be able to help as many dogs as we can without compromising their health and recovery, but we need your help to be able to accomplish this. If you would like to help S.A.F.E. in our efforts to rescue, shelter and care for these pets, please donate today. safeanimalrescue@yahoo.com

Who We Are

A National Voice for Greyhounds

Formed in March of 2001, GREY2K USA is a national non-profit organization dedicated to passing stronger greyhound protection laws and ending the cruelty of dog racing. To this end, we work nationwide to fight for greyhounds in state legislatures, at the ballot box, and in the courts.

Ending the Cruelty of Dog Racing

Greyhound racing is cruel and inhumane, and should be prohibited. GREY2K USA was the first organization to successfully outlaw dog racing using the ballot initiative process. In November 2008, the citizens of Massachusetts chose compassion over cruelty and voted 56%-44% to close down Raynham and Wonderland Greyhound Parks. Since our formation, twenty-five dog tracks have closed for live racing all across the country, and the number of states with dog racing has been cut in half. As long as dog racing exists, greyhounds will be overbred and discarded by racetracks. Around the country, and in fact, around the world, concerned animal lovers are working to rescue greyhounds from the perils of racing life.

GREY2K USA offers direct connections to rescue groups and also provides general adoption information. There are many greyhounds waiting to be adopted worldwide. Whether you live in a racing state or not, many dogs are waiting for loving homes.

I don't want your money, just your attention.

Are you rich? Me neither. However, both of us wish we could give more to help the animals. While the economy is still shaky, here are a few ways you can support AAVS without opening that checkbook:

Goodsearch & Goodshop
Powered by Yahoo!, GoodSearch collects advertiser-derived revenue from internet searches, enabling users to generate donations for AAVS by entering search terms as usual. Goodshop is a portal to all your favorite online retailers, which have agreed to donate a percentage of sales to benefit AAVS, with no additional cost to shoppers. I have the GoodToolbar installed on my web browser—it automatically identifies participating sites and shows the percentage of donations from your purchase!

Pure Citizen
Pure Citizen is a 'flash sale' site offering generous discounts of 30-90% off products from companies committed to making the world a better place. In addition to supporting companies with a conscience, purchasers have the option to save a little less and donate the difference to a featured non-profit. For the remainder of August, Pure Citizen is promoting the Leaping Bunny Program as a preferred cause for shoppers to support.

eBAY GIVING WORKS
You can support AAVS by selling and shopping on eBay. Through eBay Giving Works, sellers may designate a percentage of their listing's final sale price—between 10% and 100%—to benefit AAVS. Likewise, buyers can search out items that will generate donations for AAVS. Visit our eBay Giving Works Page for more information and to view current items for sale.

V-DAC Car Donation
How about donating an old Honda for Humane Science Education? Or a Saturn for the Sanctuary Fund? Through AAVS's partnership with V-DAC, you can donate any type of vehicle— car, truck, motorcycle, RV, boat, airplane, heavy equipment—from anywhere in the US, whether running or not. That clunker in the driveway can help the animals and also provide a tax benefit for you!

Combined Federal Campaign
The Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) is the world's largest, annual workplace charity campaign, raising millions of dollars from civilian, postal, and military donors for hundreds of charitable causes. We greatly appreciates the generous support of Federal employees across the country and internationally, so please remember AAVS (CFC ID 10965) when completing your pledge forms for the 2011 Campaign!

Of course, we'll happily accept good old-fashioned checks and credit cards, too. But it's nice to have other options when money is tight. Thank you for your support!

For the animals,

Chris Derer
Director of Development & Member Services

PS. Your generous gift to AAVS can be doubled! Ask your employer or human resources department if a matching gift program is available.

" Where Love is Recycled "

Not a day goes by that we don't hear, " I couldn't work at an animal shelter, I love animals to much". To new employees of an animal shelter that may seem as a insult, as though they don't love animals. In reality they are actually paying you a compliment. Caring for animals is a definite quality to have when working at a shelter. But so is patience, people skills, multi tasking and most of all putting the animals first. At the Jasper County Animal Rescue League and Humane Society
staff, volunteers and board members all come together to make the shelter a better place for the sake of the animals.

About Arizona Animal Welfare League and SPCA

The mission of the Arizona Animal Welfare League & SPCA is to end the unnecessary euthanasia of dogs and cats in our community.

Founded in 1971, The Arizona Animal Welfare League and SPCA is the state's oldest and largest no-kill shelter. Our shelter facilities provide a temporary home for nearly 2,600 dogs and cats every year, offering medical and behavioral treatment for those in need.

Our priority is to take in adoptable animals from other shelters where they might be euthanized and to care for them until each is adopted into a loving, lifetime home. We will accept owned animals by appointment only, if we have available space, and only if we think we are able to meet that individual animal's physical and emotional needs. Please understand that the AAWL / SPCA cannot accept every animal brought to our shelter immediately.

Lange Foundation is dedicated to saving impounded companion animals, and preparing them for a journey to a new safe, loving world. We have also initiated an ongoing sterilization program, to dramatically reduce the number of unwanted pets born in Los Angeles County.

The dogs we rescue come to us in all shapes, colors, sizes and ages. Some are victims of abuse or neglect; others starving strays; some are purebred and some are obedience trained. Our hearts go out to many who need surgery, spending their last few days of life in excruciating pain. These dogs, cats and horses already rescued but overlooked or so neglected and abused that they are beyond rehabilitation, have a permanent home here, where they are loved and spoiled by our great staff and volunteers. The animals that live here have two things in common. First, they have survived difficult living conditions or debilitating medical conditions, or both. Second, and more importantly, they need your help to ensure that they can continue to live happy, healthy lives. Help us create a better future: Your ongoing support can help us continue our work to save these wonderful animals. There are many ways to help: make a donation, contribute “in kind”, become a sponsor, or visit the dogs, horses and resident cat.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

House Foreclosures...No Paws Left Behind Can Help...

Our Passion, Our Love, Our Mission

No Paws Left Behind, Inc. is a focus driven not for profit organization, designed to bring awareness to all communities the silent victims of foreclosure who have no voice or rights to implement change. As a united front, we will restore moral obligations toward all pets that have the potential to be, or have been, left behind to suffer needlessly.

Who Are We and How Did We Get Here?

No Paws Left Behind, Inc. is a non profit organization dedicated to bringing awareness and finding solutions to the growing phenomena of fore closure pets. This trend is increasing in numbers with no immediate end in sight and it is these helpless victims of the mortgage crisis that suffer in silence. No Paws Left Behind, Inc. is here to be their voice. Foreclosure pets who were once a vital part of a happy family suddenly find themselves alone, helpless, and in many cases, starving due to foreclosure. Children have a lot to say about their pets, and enforcing the decision to leave the pets behind can traumatize children and influence the way they look at the world around them. You don't want to raise heartless adults, do you? We are here to help keep you and your family together.

A little short on cash for that pet deposit?? Don't panic and drop us an email. Maybe we can help out.

Welcome to Pals for Pooches In Texas

What We Do

"Our mission is to aid all dogs rescued by making certain they receive the medical treatment needed and adopting them into the loving homes they deserve." Pals for Pooches was started to address a desperate need in our community for providing shelter to abandoned and lost animals.

We are a non-profit organization based in the Humble, Texas area dedicated to the rehabilitation of abused, lost and neglected canines. We do not have a facility in which to house dogs, so all rescued dogs are fostered in their rescuers' homes. We exist solely upon the support of you, the public. Without your help and donations, we would cease to exist. We extend our heartfelt thanks for your past support and a plea for future support.

Hart... Homeless Animal Rescue Team...

HART is a no-kill animal rescue/support group, incorporated in 1990, that takes in and re-homes stray, abused and unwanted dogs and cats. Whether the animal is a give-up or a stray, HART works with local veterinarians, trainers, foster homes, and kennels to provide temporary care for the pet until s/he is placed in a loving, carefully-screened forever home.

North Shore Animal League...

You can Sponsor a Dog or Cat… Unfortunately, some of the dogs that come into the League's care suffer from injuries or chronic illnesses, while others have been badly abused and neglected. As a result, they need specialized medical treatment, behavioral training and extra love and nurturing before they can find their own permanent homes. These dogs would likely be considered lost causes at other shelters and destroyed as a result. Here at the League, we allow all of our pets as much time as they need to find a special owner who can care for them, and once they are placed in their forever home, we continue to provide all the support and medical care they need to allow them to live as happily and comfortably as possible.To uphold this commitment, we need your help. Learn more about some of the dogs in our Sponsorship Program and make a difference in the life of pet that truly needs you.

It is startling to see the difference that a well-built doghouse can make in these animals' lives. We fill our doghouses with warm, fluffy straw bedding—the dogs go inside immediately to curl up and can't believe their luck. They smile! Their tails thump, life comes into them, and their world doesn't seem quite so hopeless anymore. We also give them tangle-free lightweight line to replace the heavy chains that weigh them down, and we provide them with a toy, a nutritious meal to winter-proof them that day, clean water (often we break the ice or have to provide a bucket or bowl), and a few minutes of the love and attention that mean the world to these social souls.

Please know that any gift you can give, no matter its size, will be put to work immediately toward this vital program. Life is always hard for an unloved and ignored backyard dog—many people treat these animals as little more than a living burglar alarm on a chain. But this time of year can be particularly lonely, beyond miserable, and even deadly. Right now, these animals are facing another long, bitter winter with nowhere to go to get out of the stinging cold and the wet. By giving one of our doghouses to one or more of these dear individuals, you will immediately help reduce the suffering of a dog in need—and it will likely be the first "home" that he or she has ever had. Won't you please become a PETA "Angel for Animals" doghouse sponsor today?

URGENT NEED FOR DOG CRATES/IGLOOS/AND MORE

UNCHAIN DOGS | Pennsylvania Coalition Against Tethering

About: Kathleen Slagle

Kathleen Slagle has been a Dogs Deserve Better area representative of Delaware Water Gap in Pennsylvania for 5 years. As an area representative Slagle has been instrumental in recruiting volunteers, re-homing dogs and educating people on chained dogs. In 2009, she started the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Tethering, a group dedicated to educating the public and promoting legislation to end the widely tolerated practice of chaining dogs for life. Slagle has been the instrumental behind anti-tethering legislation since the 2005-2006 Legislation Session, the creation of unchainpadogs.com and the current anti-tethering legislation.

Who says tethering dogs is inhumane?

In addition to The Humane Society of the United States and numerous animal experts, the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued a statement in the July 2, 1996, Federal Register against tethering: "Our experience in enforcing the Animal Welfare Act has led us to conclude that continuous confinement of dogs by a tether is inhumane. A tether significantly restricts a dog's movement. A tether can also become tangled around or hooked on the dog's shelter structure or other objects, further restricting the dog's movement and potentially causing injury."

A Double Whammy for Animal Shelters: Oregon and California.

Struggling families are relinquishing more dogs and cats to shelters.

The economic downturn is having ripple effects in nearly every part of American life, but the impact on animal shelters has been especially acute. Struggling families are relinquishing more dogs and cats to shelters, as they find they can no longer afford the costs of pet care, or they are evicted from their homes and cannot find pet-friendly housing. At the same time, charitable giving is on the decline, so both public and private shelters have less funding. It’s a double whammy for animal shelters—greater demand but fewer resources.

Puppyinshelter

Stray animals will be left to the mercy of the streets, and without animal control services, they will continue to breed and overpopulate. As their numbers grow, disease will become rampant and pose a very real threat to animal health and human health. It’s not just a quality of life issue for citizens, but a critical service in a nation that cares about animal welfare—a nation where we want to see pets cared for and adopted, not suffering and dying on our streets.

STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY

Last Chance for Animals (LCA) recognizes that animals have the ability to experience pain, and as such they deserve certain basic rights protecting them from pain caused by humans. LCA believes that non-human animals should not be subjected to suffering and exploitation by humans because alternatives exist for nearly every traditional "usage" of animals. LCA opposes the use of animals for scientific curiosity, entertainment, clothing, and food. LCA recognizes the use of non-human animals in medical experimentation as both immoral and of questionable scientific validity due to the tremendous biological difference between species. LCA's work advocates conscious and informed lifestyle decisions, and the organization is committed to disseminating truthful information about societal animal abuse to improve the treatment of animals.

Foster Or Help Folks With Fostered Animal Care

Foster care is an opportunity to care for an animal that isn't yet ready for adoption.
It is an alternative for those who cannot make a long-term commitment,
but would still like to help homeless pets in need. Fostering a pet is an extremely rewarding
experience. North Shore Animal League America provides all medical care at our medical
center at no cost, plus basic needs for your foster care pet including food, bowls, crate, litter and more.

The Animal League regularly rescues animals in need from shelters that would be euthanized due to illness, space, age and behavior. As a foster parent you would become part of a bigger picture at the Animal League. Not only would you be helping the foster animal in need, but you are also helping us make room to save another animal in need.

	Kittens and puppies that are too young for adoption.
	Orphaned kittens or puppies in need of 'round the clock care.
	Cats and dogs nursing litters that need a peaceful home to grow in.
	Cats and dogs recovering from surgery, illness, or injury that needs a comfortable and loving place to heal.
	Senior pets or those with special needs that need a home to live out the rest of their days in peace and comfort.

All kinds! We can match the perfect foster care pet to your individual needs. Whether you work or stay at home, have a small amount of time or want to make a full-time commitment, we have a pet you can help. Fostering is an opportunity to make a difference in an animal's life. We are looking for caring, compassionate individuals, 21 years of age or older, who live within 50 miles of the Animal League and are willing to donate a portion of their lives to helping animals.

Simply fill out and submit an application online and a foster care representative will contact you to review the application and answer any questions that you may have.Click for foster care application

Best friends Animal Society...

Animal cruelty is a cause that we are personally very passionate about. We have always adopted rescued dogs and our families have donated both our time and money to rescue and animal rights organizations. Animal cruelty can be broken into two main categories: active and passive. Active cruelty is deliberately causing harm to an animal. It can encompass everything from direct violence towards a pet to using animals for scientific testing. It can mean hunting them for sport, skinning them for their fur or raising them to fight each other for profit. The list of crimes against animals is disgusting and the criminals, sociopaths. Passive abuse could be defined as animal neglect or abandonment, which actually tops the list of crimes against animals. Examples are starvation, dehydration, parasite infestations, inadequate shelter and failure to seek veterinary care. These crimes against animals are just as unconscionable as active violence. There is so much abuse and so many animals that need to be rescued and adopted. Your help can make a difference!

Grant Sources for Animal Shelters and Pets in Need

Three Grant Sources for Spay Neuter at Your Animal Shelter or Rescue

Animal shelters and rescues can find many grants online to help fund spay neuter clinics. Here are three of them:

The DJ & T Foundation awards two types of grants:

Clinic Grant: Granted to 501 (c) 3 organizations that operate low-cost spay/neuter clinics or are planning to open one. Funds are also granted to 501 (c) 3 organizations that operate a low-cost mobile spay/neuter clinic or are planning to start one. Spay / Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP) Grant: Granted to 501 (c) 3 organizations with established public outreach programs for socialized companion animals with homes or that are planning to establish such a program. SNAP grants cannot be used to spay/neuter foster animals, ferals, strays, animals held by adoption/rescue organizations, shelters or sanctuaries.

Humane Alliance in Asheville North Carolina has developed a successful model for setting up spay neuter clinics. This site shows you step by step how to participate in this program and obtain funding for setting up a clinic. You can also find resources concerning veterinarian training. The program is explained in this press release:

PetSmart Charities® and the ASPCA® have announced that they each will pledge 2.6 million to Humane Alliance in 2011 as part of a five-year commitment totaling $5.2 million to increase affordable spay/neuter services across the United States and prevent the births of millions of pets for whom there are no homes.

This funding will help 80 low-cost, high-quality, high-volume spay/neuter clinics to open across the U.S. Combined with the nearly 70 Humane Alliance clinics already open, the clinics will provide up to 800,000 sustainable spay/neuter surgical slots, preventing an estimated 11 million births through 2013.

The ASPCA also offers grants directly to shelters and rescues for spay neuter programs. Read the criteria, which include a letter of inquiry. This grant is limited to no more than $3,000 and the website says: Due to budgetary constraints, we are no longer accepting grant requests for the above purposes from the following states: Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.

To find local or regional grant sources, do a search on “spay neuter grant sources your area” or “spay neuter grants your area” etc. Many community foundations offer funding in their own region.

	They Gave Their Best for Our Country - Now Is Your Chance to Give Something Back Explosions wreak havoc with the human body. A missing hand. Lost legs. Traumatic brain injury. This is the terrible price many of our military men and women pay in Iraq, Afghanistan and other perilous areas of the world. And when they return from battle, their bodies need mending, and their minds and spirits cry out for healing. For some, an essential part of that healing comes in the form of a gentle, loving golden retriever named Lacey. Along with her handler, Thea Wasche, Lacey brings the power of American Humane Association’s Animal-Assisted Therapy Program to these brave service men and women. With your generous support, we can train moe animal-assisted therapy teams to bring comfort and companionship to our military heroes.

Angel's For Animals...

Every day, PETA’s Community Animal Project (CAP) field workers hit the streets, delivering sturdy, hand-built doghouses filled with straw to dogs chained up outside, plucking terrified cats from high up in trees, whisking confused dogs from rush-hour traffic, and working with local law enforcement to ensure that companion animals are cared for properly and rescued from abusive situations. PETA’s mobile spay/neuter clinic, Spay and Neuter Immediately, Please (SNIP), travels to low-income neighborhoods and performs about 25 low- or no-cost sterilization surgeries a day, preventing thousands of unwanted animals from being born—only to suffer on the streets or be euthanized in shelters.

Get Active for Animals!

Dogs and cats may tug at our heartstrings, but despite all the love they give us, an estimated 4 to 6 million must be euthanized annually in the United States because there aren’t enough loving homes for them. Abandoned animals often become victims of road traffic, disease, starvation, or cruel people. Sometimes they are stolen by laboratory dealers or used as bait by dog fighters. Tragically, while millions of animals are killed for want of a good home, breeders churn out millions of animals each year. You can help keep dogs and cats from suffering from homelessness by promoting spaying and neutering.
