National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day

Adoption is the answer!

Tuesday, April 30th is National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day. Celebrate all week with us! It is estimated that each year 6.5 million animals enter U.S. shelters. That’s a lot of important reasons to take action today! Below are just a few ways you can make a difference in the life of a homeless pet.

Increase Your Impact

Flights to Freedom flies animals from overpopulated shelters to no-kill shelters, giving them a chance at being adopted into a forever home. Last year, together we helped fly 7,177 pets to freedom through this program: 5,419 dogs, 756 cats, and 2 pot-bellied pigs!

Give a Gift

We’ve created two opportunities for you to directly and positively affect the lives of vulnerable shelter animals! You can feed orphaned infant kittens and puppies by providing specialized formula and bottle kits to shelters. The Flights to Freedom Comfort Packs helps ease the stress of pets on their journey to their forever home.

Show You Care

Proclaim it loud and clear! You can help spread the word about the importance of animal adoption with one of our exclusive Adopt Don’t Shop items or explore one of our other product collections perfect for Fur Moms and Fur Dads. Find your favorite! Feel good and do good. Last year, shopping in The Animal Rescue Site store raised funding for the value of more than 61.2 million bowls of food for shelter animals.

Let’s reduce misery for bullocks, ponies, and horses during the Chinchali Fair

Animal Rahat

There’s still time to relieve suffering during the Chinchali Fair!

In just a few days, thousands of bullocks, ponies, and horses will be forced on a grueling, days-long trek to the Chinchali Fair—an annual festival in India. Some of them will be forced to run for more than 200 miles, hauling carts jam-packed with families and their possessions. Along the way, some will collapse from exhaustion, while others will become injured as their wagons hit ruts or are run off the road. Most will endure dehydration and despair.

Animal Rahat is preparing to provide these animals with food, water, and vital veterinary care—and it needs your support to come to the aid of as many individuals as possible.

Please donate today to help Animal Rahat reach more animals in need during this year’s fair.

For 15 years, Animal Rahat has been working to provide animals forced to pull carts to the fair with the basic care and sustenance that they need. These animals absolutely rely on Animal Rahat for everything from food and water to emergency medical treatment for problems such as lameness, exhaustion, untreated wounds, and debilitating infections.

The team informs animals’ owners about effective long-term care, which benefits them long after the fair is over. The team will also once again enlist the help of police officers to confiscate torture devices, including whips, pointed sticks, wire nose rings, and yoke spikes.

Many animals are no longer forced to make the trip, because Animal Rahat has persuaded many villagers from all around the region to rest their animals and instead take buses—which the group provides or subsidizes! The team is working hard to make these vehicles the primary means of transportation to the festival.

Your generous support will change the lives of so many animals put at risk during this annual celebration.

Thanks to kind people like you, Animal Rahat is changing minds and improving animals’ lives.

Very truly yours,

Ingrid E. Newkirk
Founder

If you see an animal left in the bitter cold hitting much of the country, please contact law enforcement immediately. They will not survive.
