Moopaw

Challenged by one of the toughest economies in years to maintain our commitment to save the lives of at-risk animals, we asked for your support and you made the difference.

Our goal is to reduce the number of animals entering community shelters and increase the number of animals who leave shelters alive.

We are proud to report that, in spite of the recession, your donations increased adoptions by as much as 12% throughout the ASPCA's partner communities.

The ASPCA® continues to advance our crusade to end animal cruelty.

Thanks to your support, we carried our commitment of preventing animal cruelty to new heights in 2009. Your unwavering dedication to fight cruelty allowed us to present testimony for 20 court cases, conduct 75 anti-cruelty workshops, consult on 320 cruelty cases and distribute more than $200,000 in emergency and disaster grants. Because of you, we are able to fight against abuse, wherever it may be!

We are their voice®—animals across the country depend on us—and we’ve spent the past year living up to our promise to save more animals than ever before.

Our 2009 successes demonstrate how you helped the ASPCA make enormous strides toward our goals of preventing animal cruelty and finding forever homes for America's adoptable pets. Thank you for making 2009 an exceptional year for the ASPCA and the animals we serve.

ASPCA
For over 140 years the ASPCA has worked tirelessly to end animal cruelty. From education and care to adoption and rescue, the ASPCA is making a life changing difference for animals across America.
We need you on our side! You don’t have to be a cop, a lawyer or a judge to fight animal cruelty. All you need is the courage to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Belleglen Sanctuary

Due to the economy being so bad donations have been way down and have been continuing to go down more and more. Due to this we have not been even coming close to raising enough money to feed and care for all of the kitties that reside at Belleglen Sanctuary.

International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW)

From the outset, the founders of the International Fund for Animal Welfare, or IFAW, rejected the notion that the interests of humans and animals were separate. Instead they embraced the understanding that the fate and future of harp seals-and all other animals on Earth-are inextricably linked to our own. Please donate to save both.

Pet-Abuse

Unfortunately, there is no quick fix for animal abuse, but there are so many things we can all do to help. None of them will make animal abuse disappear tomorrow, but every little bit helps lower the risk further down the road.
And you don't have to be an animal "fanatic" to do it. You don't have to be a member of every animal rights organization on earth. There are so many things "regular"people can to do to have an impact...
Take care of the animals you have, and encourage others to do the same...
