Dear Friend,
A PETA Present is a powerful way for you to help animals, because it supports work that changes lives, such as Crystal's on a dangerously cold day last winter.
PETA's Community Animal Project fieldworkers were delivering straw, doghouses, and other supplies to dozens of chained "backyard dogs" as they do every week of the year. Then they spotted a young dog wandering alone in a mobile-home park.
She was wearing a collar—likely put on her when she was just a pup—that had become deeply embedded in her neck, leaving her with a painful wound that reeked of infection. PETA's team quickly tracked down her negligent owners who, after a firm conversation about cruelty-to-animals laws, surrendered the suffering dog to us. Our fieldworkers rushed her to an emergency veterinary clinic, where after two delicate surgeries, Crystal was finally safe.
Today, she's a treasured part of a loving family, and the many hardships that she endured before we rescued her haven't dulled her spectacular shine.
When you buy a PETA Present, we'll send your loved one an e-card as a thank-you for helping animals, and as always, we'll put your gift to work right away to help make the holidays a little brighter for animals who need us most.
Happy holidays!
