It won't be long before much of the country is buried under a blanket
of white. This is the time of year when
negligent animal care can turn into serious, life-threatening emergencies—especially for cats and dogs kept outdoors.
When local governments are faced with having to seize a large number of
animals, including those neglected or abandoned during the winter months,
they often turn to the ASPCA for assistance. Through grants and in-person
staff deployments, the ASPCA helps sheriff's offices, shelters and
animal control agencies carry out these critical rescue missions—
but we need your help to do it.
Agencies around the country rely on the ASPCA's help and expertise.
We expect these requests to skyrocket as the mercury dips, and as we know
all too well, winter rescues present unique challenges that can cause
expenses to soar.
Thanks to your compassion and generosity, we are able to be there for abandoned and abused animals.
As you budget your holiday spending and pick out the perfect gifts for everyone on your list, remember the animals who are out in the cold. Please give today to save at-risk cats and dogs this winter and all year long.
