Yesterday we reached out to you about Beatrice, a 3-year-old dog who was rescued after being abandoned in an apartment and left to starve. We also shared our urgent $75,000 goal for The Beatrice Fund, a lifesaving fund created to support more animals like her who are in desperate need of rescue and care.

Tomorrow is the last day to reach our ambitious goal, and we need your help, John. Can we count on your support to help us reach our goal? Please, rush your donation to The Beatrice Fund today.

When Beatrice first arrived at the ASPCA, her body was in “survival metabolism” – she was literally wasting away as her body used its own tissue for nutrition. Dr. Laura Niestat, an ASPCA Forensic Veterinarian, placed Beatrice on a specialized re-feeding diet and vitamin therapy to slowly reintroduce food to her body. After two months in our care, Beatrice gained over 53% of her body weight.

“This was a lot,” Dr. Niestat said. “Often, emaciated dogs gain about 30% to 35% of their intake weight before reaching an ideal body condition. Even after gaining 16 pounds, Beatrice still had a few more to go.”

Our medical and behavior experts continued to work on Beatrice’s health, and 8 weeks later, Beatrice was able to go to a foster home to continue her recovery. Beatrice’s inspiring recovery and path toward healing is a direct result of the dedication and generosity of animal lovers like you.

When you make a lifesaving gift to The Beatrice Fund, you’re helping us reach even more animals in need and helping to give them the care and treatments they need to survive.

There’s still time to help, but our fundraising deadline is less than 48 hours away, so please, act now. Help us give more animals in need the second chances they deserve by making an urgent gift to The Beatrice Fund today.
