An international day of Giving
12.02.2025
Giving Tuesday is a day to highlight the importance of giving back to your favorite charity. This single day is what defines the next year in our ability to grow and continue to care for almost 2,000 animals a year. Every dollar donated from now until the end of the year will be matched $1:$1 up to $45,000!
Our Goal: Rescue 500 more animals in 2026!
2,000 animals total - we need your help!
During peak season, we receive up to 50 calls per day from concerned individuals who find animals in urgent need of help. And during our busiest seasons, we’re already operating at full capacity. That means some animals—desperate, injured, and without options—are turned away. We can’t let that continue. That’s why our goal in 2026 is to increase our reach and rescue 2,000 animals—a 33% increase over this year. But we can’t do it without you.
Each individual rescued animal costs $165. The animals absolutely need us; the people who find the animals need us - and we need your help to make this goal possible. In order to rescue 500 more animals in 2026, we need to raise $82,500 to make our goal rescue 500 more animals, 2,000 animals total, possible.
Will you help us rescue 500 more injured and orphaned wild animals in 2026 by helping us raise $82,500 this Giving Tuesday?
