The holiday season–a time of hope, joy and celebration–is almost over. But thousands of dogs, cats and other animals nationwide are still wondering if they will ever find a safe, loving place to call home—or if they’ve just been forgotten this year.

They’re desperately reaching out to you. Will you answer the call this time by making a gift before the year ends?

Your end-of-year gift can help bring comfort to so many animals and will support them as they heal and look for loving homes. This past year alone, support from people like you helped us assist thousands of helpless animals through natural disasters, cruelty and other heartbreaking situations.

But so many are still waiting patiently for help. That’s why we’re urging you to be one of 15,000 donors to make a gift before midnight on December 31.

Too many innocent animals went this holiday season without the love and comfort of a home. They are waiting on us for rescue, care and new beginnings—and you still have one last chance to help make their second chances possible before the year ends. Your final gift before December 31 can help them close out the year with a warm bed, plenty of food and a chance to start over.

If you can, give just one more gift as you wrap up your holiday season—give vulnerable animals nationwide the second chances they deserve at lives free from neglect, uncertainty and abuse. Let them know you care, and that their journeys toward happily-ever-after are finally beginning.
