Dear Friend,

Today is World Spay Day—but for the staff who operate PETA's fleet of mobile clinics, every day is "spay day"!

Each week, our team of animal-care professionals performs life-changing spay and neuter surgeries on hundreds of dogs and cats—at little to no cost to their guardians.

This vital program doesn't come cheap: Supplies needed by each of our mobile clinics can run as much as $15,000 a month. Today, while you have a special chance to double your impact for dogs like ones you may share your home with, we need your help.

Your gift between now and midnight tonight will be matched by a committed PETA donor, up to our $5,000 goal! Please give right now—even just $3—and help us reach even more animals like Coco.

Earlier this month, PETA fieldworkers spayed Coco, transporting her round-trip from her home in rural North Carolina for her appointment. In addition to ensuring that the beloved, young pit bull wouldn't be adding to the region's homeless-animal crisis, our team treated a minor infection that had left her skin raw and painful to the touch.

But if our team had never met her, Coco's story may not have had a happy ending. A single dog like her (and her offspring) can be responsible for the birth of more than 67,000 puppies in just six years, most of whom would likely be abandoned to suffer on the streets, be exploited by cruel people as living burglar alarms, or be surrendered to already-overburdened animal shelters.

It's hard to imagine dogs like ones you may know and love suffering in these ways. With every sterilization surgery that our clinics perform, we do more to stem the tide of the crisis and help animals. But right now, we need your support to keep this work going.

Will you help us reach our $5,000 World Spay Day goal by making a special gift today? It will be matched until midnight tonight, so there's no time to waste! Even as little as $3 will help.

Spaying and neutering is the single most effective way to prevent millions of dogs and cats from enduring misery, neglect, abuse, and abandonment on the streets.

That's why, since they began operating, PETA's state-of-the-art mobile clinics have performed low-cost and free spay/neuter surgeries on more than 175,000 dogs, cats, and other animals, including many who would have been turned away by other clinics because their guardians couldn't afford the procedure. Our clinics aren't just performing surgeries—they're changing and saving lives.

We count on the generosity of supporters like you to keep this critically important program up and running, and today, you have a special opportunity to make your gift do even more for dogs just like those you may share your home with.

Please donate now so that your gift can be matched to help PETA provide more animals like Coco with the care that they desperately need.
