Dear Friend, When temperatures rise, my canine companion, Forrest, is able to cool off in a comfortable, air-conditioned home, and he gets all the water, food, attention, and comfort that he needs on hot summer days. But the neglected "backyard dogs" PETA helps don't have access to air conditioning. They might not have any care or shelter at all—or even a patch of shade where they can seek relief from the scorching heat and blazing sun. Extreme temperatures aren't just uncomfortable for these dogs—they can often be deadly. That's why I build sturdy PETA doghouse—to help dozens of dogs survive dangerous heat and summer thunderstorms. Will you help sponsor more doghouses for lonely "backyard dogs" by making a gift today? For just a little while, PETA's friends at v-dog are matching every sponsorship gift with a donation of 5 pounds of vegan dog food that we'll distribute to dogs in need. It's devastating to see the conditions that so many dogs are forced to live in. They're chained or penned in full sunlight or in inches of mud, without fresh food or even clean water to drink. When owners can't be persuaded to allow their dogs indoors and local officials won't enforce the meager provisions of the law, PETA does everything in our power to make suffering dogs more comfortable—whether it's providing sturdy doghouses, offering a bowl of water, administering treatment for parasites, or giving dogs the affection that they often go without. In some cases, we're even able to persuade owners to let us have neglected dogs for a chance at a good life. Friend, the number of dogs we can reach depends on how much support we get from friends like you. And right now, it looks like there may not be enough funds to build all the doghouses that we need this summer. Please sponsor a doghouse today so that we can provide many more dogs with shelter and care. Thank you so much for your support. Sincerely, |
