BREAKING: THREE DOGS FOUND DEAD BY PETA FIELDWORKERS

Dear Friend,

The bloated, stiff bodies of two young pit bulls were still tangled in their
tethers when a PETA fieldworker first discovered them.

Although their owner had died a few days prior, her daughter claimed to have
checked on the pair earlier that day. Yet both dogs remained outside—tangled and
unable to reach water or shade as the sweltering temperatures climbed into the
triple digits. Their frantic cries for help were ignored, and they likely desperately gasped
for air before finally succumbing to heatstroke.

Every day of extreme heat means a new struggle to survive for a dog chained
outside, vulnerable to an agonizing death. We need your help to reach as many of these animals as we can before it's too
late.

Please, make an urgently needed gift today and give an immediate boost to our
work for animals.

Donate even as little as $5 right now and v-dog will chip in 5 pounds of dog
food to help feed some of the many dogs our team assists every day.

Sadly, this isn't the first time this summer that PETA fieldworkers have seen
just how deadly extreme heat can be. Three days earlier, while giving fresh
water and flea-preventive medication to a dog at another property, a fieldworker
noticed a foul stench coming from the doghouse of a female pit bull.

The door to the doghouse was nailed over with a plank of wood. While the owner's
bedridden wife told us that she didn't know why the doghouse had been boarded
shut, our fieldworker made a horrifying discovery inside it: the decomposing
remains of a dog liquefying and covered with maggots.

Our fieldworkers quickly contacted local sheriff's officials after finding these
three victims of neglect and summer heat, and today, we're urging leaders of
that rural county to enact an emergency ordinance prohibiting unattended
chaining of dogs.

For the many dogs PETA helps throughout impoverished areas of Virginia and North
Carolina, we need to do more as soon as possible. Hurricane season is just getting started, and already our fieldworkers are on
the ground helping dogs left to languish after Hurricane Isaias and a deadly
tornado tore through the region.

Donate today—your gift can provide the help that a neglected dog needs to
survive the deadliest weeks of summer. And right now, every gift—even as little as $5—will be matched with 5 pounds of
food for dogs in need from v-dog.

There's no substitute for a loving, indoor home—particularly during the
dangerous heat and powerful storms of summer. But when we can't persuade owners
to let "backyard dogs" indoors as a member of the family, our team does all that
we can to make their lives a bit less miserable.

That's why every single day, PETA fieldworkers are on the road, providing water,
medical attention, lightweight tie-outs, and sturdy PETA-built doghouses to help
neglected dogs find some protection from nature's worst. It's often the only
kindness and respect that many of these animals will ever know.

Please don't wait for the next preventable tragedy to strike—not while more dogs
are in danger.

Donate right now—your gift can provide the help that a neglected dog needs to
survive.
