Spay/Neuter and Vaccinate a Street Dog in India
Animal suffering is a problem around the world, and just ten dollars U.S. will go a long way towards improving one dog's quality of life, and also help make sure that future generations of dogs are wanted and cared for. Visakha Society For Protection and Care of Animals (VSPCA) works to reduce the overpopulation of street dogs in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh through its Animal Birth Control (ABC) program. VSPCA is a growing and struggling operation that also provides emergency animal care and shelter. No other similar services for injured street animals exist in the area. A donation of just $10 will spay or neuter and vaccinate one of these roaming street dogs against rabies, helping improve and perhaps even save its life.

Spay/Neuter Four American Pets at a Free Clinic
In the United States, more than 3 million pets are euthanized each year. Spaying or neutering companion animals makes sure the all-too-numerous population of unwanted kittens and puppies doesn't grow, and gives dogs and cats already in shelters the best chance for adoption; but for people already struggling to make ends meet, the cost of spaying or neutering pets may pose a significant obstacle for owners. Your gift of $28 funds surgical supplies and anesthesia for the spay or neuter surgery for four companion animals at a free clinic.

Care for a Street Animal in India
Despite some of the strictest animal welfare laws in the world, India teems with abandoned, neglected, and abused animals. Baby monkeys are taken from their mothers to be trained as street performers, then abandoned; cows and water buffalo are used for milk and labor, but turned loose or sent to slaughter once their useful life has passed. And the population of dogs and cats loose on the streets leads to the spread of animal diseases such as rabies. The Visakha Society For Protection and Care of Animals is helping hundreds of stray and abandoned creatures, and you can help. Provide food, shelter, and medical care for a cat ($15), a dog ($20), a monkey ($28), or a cow or water buffalo ($35), for an entire month.

Care for Two Rescued Rabbits
Every spring in the U.S., thousands of bunnies are purchased as live toys for children. Exuberant children and ground-loving, easily frightened rabbits are not a good mix, however. Once the child loses interest and the rabbit grows into adolescence -- including natural behaviors such as chewing, spraying, or digging -- many rabbits are destined to be abandoned on the side of a road. The Rabbit Sanctuary, Inc. exists to rescue and care for these rabbits, as well as ones rescued from laboratories and commercial breeders. $10 will help give two rescued rabbits a "Home for Life."

Help Raise an Orphaned Moose
A baby moose and its mother have a strong bond, roaming through the forests as a solitary pair until the next calf is born. Because the moose's range covers almost all of Canada and extends down into the northern United States, there are thousands of deadly encounters between moose and cars each year, in addition to natural disasters such as fires or floods. $28 helps the Northern Lights Wildlife Shelter in British Columbia care for a rescued moose for one week, while $110 funds one month of care.

Help Raise an Orphaned Bear Cub
Baby bears are intensely dependent on their mothers. All too often, the mothers are killed by poachers, automobiles, or natural disasters, leaving the orphaned cubs before they are prepared to fend for themselves. $15 helps the Northern Lights Wildlife Shelter in British Columbia care for a rescued bear cub for one week, while $60 funds one month of care.

Help a Cat Get to the Vet
You've been helping stray cats in need in your own community for ages now, but you still have more love to give for cats in places where rescue efforts and veterinary services are few and far between. We have a way to help!

Feed an Orphaned Baby Elephant
Africa's poaching epidemic affects more than just the animals killed for their tusks and other parts -- it also creates elephant orphans. Intensely dependent on their mothers and herds, and with a very long childhood ahead of them, orphaned elephants are unlikely to survive without a little bit of help. $42 funds a month of age-appropriate food or milk for a baby elephant through International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW).

Help Protect Baby Sea Turtles
Along the eastern coast of India, increasing development, pollution, and poaching have driven the local sea turtles towards extinction. $35 funds a week's salary and expenses for a sea turtle ranger patrolling the beaches along the Bay of Bengal. Rangers drive away predators from turtle mating and nesting sites, rescue baby turtles from plastic bags, dogs, cats, crows, and poachers; and educate local communities and fishermen about the importance of protecting these fragile and important creatures.

Protect African Animals from Poachers
Despite laws ensuring their protection, many species of African wildlife are still being hunted illegally. Under-equipped and under-staffed African wildlife law enforcement agencies are often outmaneuvered by sophisticated crime syndicates operating freely across national borders. Non-governmental organizations, like the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), are stepping in to help bridge that gap. $42 funds one week's salary for an anti-poaching ranger in Africa, helping reduce illegal trade of animals on a continent-wide basis.

Feed a Rescued Infant Chimpanzee for a Week
Each year in Africa, thousands of chimpanzees are killed by poachers for the illegal "bush meat" trade, leaving orphaned baby chimps behind. Sold as a roadside attraction or as a pet, some are lucky enough to be rescued and find a safe haven at the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary in the Uganda, which attempts to prepare the chimps for release into the wild. $21.00 provides a week's worth of nutritious foods for an infant chimp.

Protect Baby Turtles in Mexico
Turtles are known for their hard shells, yet baby turtles are extremely vulnerable to harm. Dogs, raccoons, and other scavengers kill many baby turtles, both before hatching and in the moments between hatching and crawling to the ocean. La Tortuga Feliz ("Happy Turtle" in Spanish) is a turtle sanctuary in Juluchuca, Guerrero, Mexico, that locates turtle nesting sites, protects them until they hatch, and helps guide them to the water free from harm. $20 helps 100 baby turtles in Mexico hatch and make it safely to a new life in the ocean.

Protect American Wolves
Once common throughout North America, wolves have recently been reintroduced to areas where humans and livestock also live. While wolf predation on livestock accounts for less than 1% of livestock losses each year, when wolves do prey on livestock it can mean certain death for a wolf – or even an entire pack. Defenders of Wildlife is leading efforts to reduce livestock losses, foster goodwill among the ranching community and save the lives of countless wild wolves. You can help, starting at just $16.00.

Hide, Perch & Go Habitats for Shelter Cats
Shelter life can be scary for cats. The transition from home to shelter (or shelter to home) brings many changes in sights, smells and surroundings, often leaving cats fearful and stressed. $15.00 funds three specialized "Hide, Perch & Go" boxes for shelters, in which cats can hide or perch to view their surroundings. Shelters say the cats who are lucky enough to have a Hide, Perch & Go box are friendlier and more likely to be adopted -- and the box even converts to a carrier for the journey to the cat's adoptive home.

Care for a Shelter Animal with Special Needs
Shelters and sanctuaries that serve special-needs animals have a rewarding, yet difficult, role. Their residents include dogs who need wheeled harnesses in order to move around, blind horses, cats with feline leukemia, and so many others. The beautiful thing about animals with special needs is that they do not know they are disabled. With some extra attention and, in some cases, thoughtful devices, they can live as fully as any other animal. $15 funds a week of care for a special-needs animal.
