Help bring rescue and hope to suffering animals nationwide!

Sunday, Jun 21st, 2015 | By Dr. Marty Becker

In just the past ten years, the American Humane Association’s Red Star program has rescued, sheltered and cared for some 80,000 animals.

They have fought to eradicate the gas chamber in animal shelters across the nation. They recently led the successful effort to pass a national law mandating that military working dogs be returned to U.S. soil and given the opportunity to be reuinted with their handlers through adoption when their tours of duty are finished.

And right now, they’re involved in the rescue and rehabilitation of 85 small Beagle mixes, many pregnant, saved from a single home. When animal workers arrived at the home, they found dogs in horrible condition, some dead. The AHA’s Red Star rescue team loaded up its 50-foot truck and headed for the scene, where they are now providing 24-hour-care to the dogs.

They’re almost there… they need to raise $160,000 to qualify for the $150,000 grant, and they just need another $22,000! Can you help bring this home, my friends?

Just click here to give — even a small amount will be turned into double the impact thanks to this generous matching grant!

On behalf the animals, I thank you for donating and sharing this message.

Below you’ll see a slideshow of some of the many animals who have found their salvation with the help of the AHA Red Star Rescue Team. Let’s help it grow!

Give now!
