The ASPCA expresses gratitude to supporters for their contributions on Giving Day, highlighting the impact of their donations on various animal rescue efforts. These include assisting dogfighting victims, helping shy cats find homes, aiding animals affected by wildfires in California, and supporting equine adoptions. The organization also celebrates legislative victories, such as the Pets in Housing Act of 2024 in D.C., which promotes housing stability for pet owners and removes barriers to pet ownership in rental housing.
One success story involves Maeve, a dog found abandoned with severe burns who made a full recovery and found a loving home. The ASPCA also facilitated over 2,600 equine adoptions, including Chief and King, who found new homes through the Equine Adoption and Transition Center. Additionally, the organization collaborated with the Oktibbeha County Humane Society to open the OCHS Animal Support Center in Mississippi, providing sheltering and veterinary care services to vulnerable animals in the state.
Through partnerships with local shelters and law enforcement agencies, the ASPCA has rescued nearly 350 dogfighting victims across multiple states and continues to work towards reaching more animals in need. The organization’s efforts have made a significant impact on the lives of dogs, cats, horses, and other animals they serve, thanks to the generosity and support of their dedicated community of animal lovers.
