Today, 600 Million Stray Dogs Need Your Help
Today is International Homeless Animals' Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness of the millions of dogs and cats around the world living without a home.
The world's 600 million stray dogs and 87 million stray cats give birth to more than 1 billion homeless puppies and kittens every year.
Every homeless animal has a different story.
Today, we'd like to introduce you to a few of our Pilot Pups whose journeys began without a home.
1.Crystal
Crystal was living in an abandoned area with her two puppies when we found her.
One of her puppies had died, and she was struggling to keep the other two alive.
At first, she growled as we approached, determined to protect the only family she had left.
After earning her trust with food and water, we brought them to safety, where they finally received the care they desperately needed.
2.Ali
When we found Ali, she had recently given birth.
Her puppies were gone, and she was left to fend for herself while underweight and exhausted.
We could not reunite Ali with her puppies, but we could give her something she had not known for a long time: safety, nourishment, and a place where she no longer had to struggle to survive.
Today, Ali is one of more than 200 Pilot Pups who received a trial Spay and Neuter Cookie before being adopted into a loving home.
3.Buttercup
Buttercup was living on the streets with infected wounds and a painful injury to her face.
After we rescued her, she received the medical care her injuries had gone without.
She no longer spends her days living with untreated pain while searching for her next meal.
4.Edith
Edith wandered beneath the scorching sun, looking for food, water, and somewhere to escape the heat.
She was hesitant when our team first approached her.
Hunger eventually overcame fear, and that first meal became the beginning of a new life away from the streets.
Crystal, Ali, Buttercup, and Edith were rescued. Countless others never will be unless we stop the cycle that keeps producing more homeless animals.
One of the best ways to mark International Homeless Animals’ Day is by supporting our mission to end the #1 cause of suffering and death for dogs and cats — overpopulation — by developing a permanent-lasting birth control Cookie that will only need to be eaten one time, and it will, in effect, spay or neuter — without surgery.
Together, we can create a world where no dog or cat is born into suffering, where every animal gets the love, safety, and family they deserve.
Thank you so much for being a part of this life-saving mission!
