Dear John,

We fell just short of hitting our membership goal by the January 31 deadline — so we are giving you one more chance to be the difference for animals who are desperately waiting for second chances.

We know how much you care about animals, and your support helps to ensure that we can continue to fight back against cruelty and reach our annual goals for animals most in need. That's why we set an ambitious goal of 7,000 members — and as of midnight, we are agonizingly close. We've extended our deadline by one more day, and we need friends like you, now more than ever, to join us and become a member to protect animals most in need.

We're counting on you to renew your commitment right now, and help us continue and expand our efforts to:

Reach More Animals Nationwide by assisting local animal welfare organizations, rescue groups and shelters through grant funding, disaster and emergency relief and response, and sharing our best practices in veterinary and behavioral fields.

Increase Protections for Animals Under the Law by finding opportunities to press for meaningful policies in local, state and federal governments that ensure animals live good lives.

Finding More Homes for Animals in Need through our innovative rehabilitation program for fearful dogs, and through our relocation program that transports animals to partner shelters nationwide.

Having compassionate people like you by our side this year is critical — and every membership gift will help us reach our goals. Please join a community of fellow animal lovers and become an ASPCA member with a last-chance gift today. Your 2023 membership will help us reach so many vulnerable animals and give them the second chances and loving homes they deserve.
