Direct Intervention

Support Our Disaster Relief Fund

For over 70 years, we have been moving the world to respond to disasters, rescue animals from exploitative systems, and support sanctuaries caring for rescued animals.

We continue to identify opportunities for us, our partners, or our supporters to take direct action for individual animals in need whenever possible.

Animals in Disasters

Our Fund builds on our legacy of rescuing and protecting animals affected by disasters through support for partner organizations on the ground providing critical aid to animals following disaster events.

Partner Sanctuaries

We continue to transform the lives of animals by partnering with sanctuaries that offer safe and loving homes for animals. By joining forces, we can tackle the broken systems responsible for the exploitation of animals.
