Dear Friend,

During this time of disruptions and uncertainty, many humans are self-isolating at home to prevent the spread of coronavirus. But neglected dogs like Boss—whether they're confined to cramped pens or on heavy chains in lonely backyards—are already experiencing misery and monotony, suffering in isolation outside without adequate shelter and watching as life passes them by.

 
 

Boss's plastic "house" offered him no protection from snow, rain, or extreme temperatures.

Animals need us more than ever during the COVID-19 pandemic, and our vital work to help them isn't slowing down. Our fieldworkers are still doing all that they can to make "backyard dogs" like Boss a little more comfortable by providing sturdy doghouses, fresh food and water, and much-needed affection—which is sometimes the only kindness these wonderful dogs have ever known. Our mobile clinics are stemming the tide of unwanted puppies and kittens by performing life-changing spay/neuter surgeries for free or at low cost to their impoverished owners, and we're jumping into action 24 hours a day, seven days a week when we hear of any animal who needs emergency assistance.

PETA's crucial campaigns to end the suffering of all species can come with a high price tag, and we know that many of our supporters may be concerned about the future. Any amount you can give today—even if it's just $5—will help us make an impact for dogs like Boss and countless others who still need our help. Will you donate whatever you can right now?

Thank you once again for your dedication.

Kind regards,

Daphna Nachminovitch
Senior Vice President of Cruelty Investigations
PETA
