HURRICANE SANDY RELIEF

Donations received for the animals suffering after Hurricane Sandy go to animal rescue groups on the ground in areas like New York and New Jersey, where the superstorm had a devastating impact. These organizations include Animal Care & Control of NYC, North Shore Animal League America, the ASPCA, and the Humane Society of the United States. So far, over $7,000 has been distributed amongst these organizations to help with medical expenses for injured animals, boarding and food, as well as associated costs to reunite lost pets with their guardians.

BAKERSFIELD HOARDER RESCUE

February 2012 – Donations received for the Bakersfield Hoarder Rescue will pay for the continued boarding of the remaining dogs still waiting to be adopted at the Kern County Fairgrounds. The funds will also support the animal rescue organizations that have already stepped up to provide shelter, food and care for many of the dogs and cats until they find their forever homes. In January, 180 dogs, seven cats, and one pig were rescued from an animal rescuer turned animal hoarder. Global Animal Foundation has pledged $2,000 to board the remaining 35 dogs and keep them out of the Kern Country Animal Shelter in order to give them a better chance to be adopted without the threat of euthanasia.
