It’s Be Kind to Animals Week!
It’s Be Kind to Animals Week, and a great time to share your love of animals with the kids in your life. Here are a few of our top ideas:
Volunteer Together
Sure, many shelters require volunteers to be 18 to handle animals—but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing kids can do to help! Kids can hold a bake sale for a local shelter, help with web design or do even more—check out the stories of ASPCA Kids of the Year Olivia Boulet and Mimi Ausland for ideas. Call your favorite shelter to ask what your kids can do.
Get Crafty
If you’ve got a future artist on your hands, consider getting messy in the craft room for shelter animals. What can you do? For starters, you can make cat toys for homeless kitties in your area. Check out this page for instructions. (Hint: You’ll need some old socks.)
Get ‘Em Involved in Pet Care
Whether you decide your 12-year-old is ready for his own guinea pig or you want your 14-year-old to feed the dog dinner each day, getting your kids involved in caring for your pets will help them build a lasting love for animals. Where to start? Check out our guide to how much pet care kids can likely handle. Then send them to ASPCAKids.org’s Pet Care section.

Our Symbolic Gifts program allows you to choose an action that will benefit animals in need.

Congratulations to the 2012 $100K Challenge Contestants!
 |
|
Ed Sayres, ASPCA President & CEO
|
It’s been an exciting week at the ASPCA, since we just announced the 50 finalists of the 2012 ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge. These 50 groups, all animal welfare organizations, now move on to the next round of our competition. Every contestant is ultimately a winner because every group will be working to save more animals’ lives. Those competitors who have the biggest increases in lives saved over the same time period last year—as well as those that do the best job of engaging their communities—will be eligible to share in the more than $500,000 in prize grants we are awarding for their life-saving work.
Shelters in every region of the country are entered in the challenge, and they need your support. Wouldn’t it be nice if the shelter where you adopted your dog and cat won lots of money to save more pets like yours? Even if you won’t be able to adopt a dog or cat this year, you can help by promoting your favorite shelter through social media during the competition or by telling your friends to consider adopting their next pet from that shelter. I hope you all will pick a shelter to support. You can find out more at www.aspca.org/100K.
Good luck to all of the 2012 $100K Challenge contestants!

This Earth Day—Help Lighten Their Carbon Paw Print!
This Sunday, more than one billion people will be celebrating Earth Day and taking a pledge to live green. But what does that mean for our pets? Actually…quite a bit. Many pet parents don’t realize just how much of an impact their companions make on our planet—but just think of all the cat litter! Throw the planet a bone and check out our top ways you can help lighten their carbon paw print.
Cutting Back is Going Green
There are plenty of small ways to cut back on energy and materials. Cut down on paper products—clean up pet messes with rags or recycled paper towels.
The Power of Poop
Scoop dog poop with biodegradable bags or those recycled from the grocery store. If you use kitty litter, opt for brands that are made of plant-based materials like wheat or from recycled newspapers or wood chips.
Don’t Shop, Adopt
When searching for your next pet, opt to adopt. There countless numbers of homeless pets looking for a loving home. You'll save money, resources—and a life.
Spring Cleaning
It’s time for spring cleaning, but before throwing your dusty treasures away, call your local shelter—they may need old towels, bedding, leashes and pet toys.
Save Lives and Trees
Each year, members like you help us save those animals most in need, but did you know when you give online, you are also lowering your carbon footprint? Your online donation today will save lives and trees.
For a full list of ways you can help our environment, check out Go Green for Your Pets.

ASPCA Mega Match-a-thon: Thousands of Lives Saved
|
|
Ed Sayres, ASPCA President & CEO
|
On any given Friday afternoon across America, most of us are likely to utter a variation of the same phrase: “Have a great weekend!” A good weekend may be one in which we are able to relax, but I believe that a truly great weekend is one in which something meaningful is accomplished. By that standard, thousands of Americans started April with an amazing weekend during which they saved thousands of animals during the ASPCA’s first-ever Mega Match-a-thon.
Animal shelters and rescue organizations recognize that weekends are of prime importance for the adoptable animals in their care, as potential adopters are more likely to look for companion animals to adopt on days when they do not have to work. Some creative people who work on the ASPCA’s Community Outreach team spend a lot of time brainstorming ways to create excitement around animal adoption events. This year, they proposed and implemented a dramatic idea: concurrent Mega Match-a-thon events to be held throughout the country, which would be subsidized by the ASPCA to support high-volume community adoption events.
The ASPCA granted nearly $500,000 to be shared among 53 animal welfare organizations. Each grant recipient had made a thoughtful proposal detailing how it would use the funds we provided to create successful weekend adoption events. The Mega Match-a-thon weekend was a huge success—and 6,144 animals found loving homes.
Happy stories poured into us throughout the weekend adoption event:
- Riverside County Department of Animal Services in Riverside, California, adopted out 400 animals over the weekend;
- Staff and volunteers at Bangor Humane Society in Bangor, Maine, closed up early and went home after running out of animals;
- The Humane Society for Southwest Washington in Vancouver, Washington, broke its own record for the most adoptions (44) in a single day within the first two hours of its event;
- Rubbles, a 12-year-old blind Shih Tzu, was adopted from the Humane Society of Greater Miami in Miami, Florida, by a local soldier, and as soon as Rubbles got to his new home, his proud dad shared photos of Rubbles finding his way to the kitchen; and
- Wisconsin Humane Society spent a lot of time preparing for its 24-hour adoption event, including posting a Paw-jama Puppy Parade on its website; their hard work paid off with 156 animals adopted during the event.
While the immediate and wonderful result of the Mega Match-a-thon events held throughout the country was the thousands of lives saved, the excitement these events elicited in their communities will hopefully lead to an enduring legacy of more people saving lives by adopting homeless animals in their local shelters.

Spring Cleaning? Don't Toss Those Towels!
Hey folks, anyone else in the mood for a little spring cleaning? There’s something so refreshing about emptying out the closets—but before you toss your dusty treasures, give your local shelter a call. It likely could use old towels, bedding, plastic bags, office supplies…and much more!
What better feeling than knowing a homeless pet is snuggled up on that old comforter you no longer use or that your old printer is now helping to make adoption flyers? Plus, items don't need to be in tip-top shape—just clean!
For more easy ways to make a difference, visit our Top Ten Ways to Help Your Local Shelter. And thanks in advance for putting smiles on furry faces!

Yippity-Yap—It’s National Mutt Day!
Today is going to the dogs—and for good reason. It’s National Mutt Day! That’s right, a whole day dedicated to embracing, saving and celebrating mixed-breed dogs. We can’t think of a more deserving crew.
With the desire for designer dogs still going strong, one-of-a-kind pups are often left with the short end of the stick. What gives? Mixed breed dogs rock!
They can be well-behaved and loyal family members; they’re just as talented as their purebred counterparts; and do we really need to point out how ridiculously cute they are?
If you’re the proud pet parent of a mixed breed, we hope you’re celebrating National Mutt Day by spending time with your furry companion! And if you’re thinking about adding a new pet to the family, please consider giving a mixed breed a chance.
Thanks to all for making pet adoption your first option!

Ed’s Corner: Giving Thanks
|
Ed Sayres, ASPCA President & CEO |
This past Thanksgiving, I had so much to be thankful for. Of course, I am thankful for my family, including my dog, Jezebel, and my cat, Mr. B, and friends. I am thankful to enjoy good health. I am thankful to be surrounded every day by people who are dedicated to saving animals.
Even on bad days, I try to focus on all the things to be thankful for. Unfortunately, when your mission is to protect animals from cruelty, you often see images you wish you could erase from your mind forever. I know that most of you experience the same heartbreak when you hear about cruelty against animals. We have to steel ourselves against those images so that we can continue to fight on behalf of the animals.
Recently, the ASPCA held its annual Humane Awards Luncheon. One of my favorite award recipients was Mittens who won Cat-of-the-Year.
Mittens is a beautiful and sweet tabby who lives in Baltimore. In January of this year, Mittens was the victim of unspeakable cruelty—two teenage boys trapped Mittens while she was nursing her kittens, doused her in lighter fluid and struck a match. Mittens was able to escape the trap. Even though she must have been in excruciating pain (she had third and fourth degree burns covering 70 percent of her body), she returned to nurse her kittens.
Mittens was rescued by local police and was taken to the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter where she recovered from the loss of her ears and severe burns. Throughout her treatment, Mittens continued to nurse her kittens. Mittens’ story has resulted in new laws being passed in Maryland that protect animals. How can you not be thankful for animals like Mittens?
Thank you to each and every one of you who loves animals and who works to make the world a better place for them—whether that is rescuing a homeless animal, volunteering at a shelter, writing your elected officials to support animal-friendly legislation, or simply spreading the word about how important animals are to you. Wishing you all a happy holiday season!

ASPCA Gives Thanks to Response Partners for Helping Animal Victims
We couldn’t have done it without them. This week the ASPCA honored eight animal welfare groups that went above and beyond to save the animal victims of cruelty or natural disasters. In recognition of their efforts, each received a $10,000 grant.
“We wanted to thank the agencies that helped us do our life-saving work, especially those in the communities affected by devastating disasters this year,” says Jessica Rushin, Partnerships Manager for the ASPCA Field Investigations and Response Team.
Among the 173 animal welfare and rescue groups in the ASPCA’s Response Partnership network, the following groups were acknowledged for their outstanding efforts in 2011:
- Columbia-Greene Humane Society in Hudson, NY;
- Dumb Friends League in Denver, CO;
- St. Hubert's Animal Welfare Center in Madison, NJ;
- Washington Animal Rescue League in Washington, DC;
- Spay and Neuter Kansas City in Kansas City, MO;
- Wayside Waifs in Kansas City, MO;
- Charleston Animal Society in North Charleston, SC; and
- Humane Society of Broward County in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
“These organizations really stepped up to the plate and did an exceptional job by dedicating resources, time and personnel to help us in the field,” says Rushin. “We are grateful for their assistance and look forward to saving countless more animals in the new year.”

Final Day: ASPCA Provides Critical Transport for Ohio Pups
The ASPCA Animal Relocation Team hit the road this week to help dogs in South Carolina get a second chance at shelters in Ohio, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Kristen Limbert, ASPCA Animal Relocation Manager, shares her notes on the operation.
I can’t believe it’s over. It’s only been two full days and one overnight, but I’d grown so attached to these dogs it feels like longer. They were all such sweet dogs, and it was a pleasure to ride with them along this journey and see it through to the end.
We arrived at Animal Humane Society in Golden Valley, Minnesota, at 2:30 P.M. and quickly began unloading the last 20 South Carolina dogs. The dogs came a long way—1,400 miles of travel from A Second Chance Animal Shelter in Manning, the only home some of them have ever known.
Some were nervous unloading, while others took this all in stride. They’ll have lots of time to get settled here while the staff and volunteers of Animal Humane Society get to know them. After a short time, they’ll be placed up for adoption—and having come to know them over the last two days, I have no doubt that they will each find a perfect family of their own. Welcome to Minnesota, Thelma, Louise, Moses, Miles, Martin, Isis, Heath, Jasmine, Mulan, Java, Zane, Jessie, Roxci, Axel, Ebony, Emily, Erin, Cleetus, Scoop and Hunter.
The Takeaway
These last two days are a perfect example of the ASPCA’s Animal Relocation Initiative in action. Our goal is to help bring the supply of wonderful, highly adoptable shelter dogs to areas where they are in high demand and stand a better chance of finding a home.
There’s nothing wrong with these dogs. They are not broken, they are not sick, they are not mean. They are simply the unlucky ones, lost or bred and thrown away in areas where there is little demand for them, and in shelters often so overcrowded that there is no way for them to get noticed. A Second Chance Animal Shelter gave these dogs just that: a second chance. As of today, 41 dogs are getting yet one more, and we like to think that third time’s the charm.
Good luck in your new lives, my furry friends!

Day Three: ASPCA Provides Critical Transport for Ohio Pups
The ASPCA Animal Relocation Team hit the road this week to help dogs in South Carolina get a second chance at shelters in Ohio, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Kristen Limbert, ASPCA Animal Relocation Manager, shares her notes on the operation.
What a night! It's been a while since I've driven anywhere straight through the night, but it was important to keep going to minimize the time the dogs had to stay on the truck. Overall the ride was peaceful and didn't seem as long as it actually was, maybe because I didn’t actually do any of the driving.
We arrived at Bay Area Humane Society in Green Bay, Wisconsin, early this morning, and the staff was ready to help us unload their new residents: Benji, Wrangler, Glory, Freddie, Scooby, Sweetie, Blythe, Sachi, Dallas, Sweet Pea and Libby.
The whole gang did very well overnight. For the most part, they rested quietly, waking only when we opened the doors to check on them and fill their water bowls every few hours.
I think they're all about ready to be done with the ride, and for these 11 the journey is over (until their adoption, of course). The remaining 20 still have another 283 miles to travel before we reach their destination in Minnesota, but I think we all agree that 1,400 miles isn't too far to travel to get a chance at a new life. So many dogs never get the opportunity.
The Minnesota 20 have been fed a light breakfast, got some pats and scratches, and are settled in for the last leg of their trip. Golden Valley, MN, here we come.

Day Two: ASPCA Provides Critical Transport for Ohio Pups
The ASPCA Animal Relocation Team hit the road this week to help dogs in South Carolina get a second chance at shelters in Ohio, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Kristen Limbert, ASPCA Animal Relocation Manager, shares her notes on the operation.
Greetings from Ohio! It took us nearly 11 hours to reach the Capital Area Humane Society, with two stops along the way to check on our passengers. Save for some minor motion sickness, everyone is doing great—those tails are still wagging!
We arrived last evening and were greeted by a small but dedicated crew who had stayed late to welcome their new guests: Sugar, Bonnie, Clyde, Kristy, Sukie, Flower, Kaylie, Phineas, Rosie and Belle. They are all so cute, but I think Rosie is my favorite of this group—I'm a sucker for a dog with an underbite. Capital Area Humane Society has a great adoption program, so we have no doubt they'll be able to find great families.
The staff helped us get the remaining dogs fed, watered and walked before getting back on the road—it's a long way to our next stop in Wisconsin. The plan is to drive through the night and arrive at the Bay Area Humane Society in Green Bay by morning. There, the next 11 dogs will take their first step off the truck and on to their new lives!
Stay tuned for a message from our next stop, in Wisconsin.

ASPCA Provides Critical Transport: Notes from the Field
The ASPCA Animal Relocation Team hit the road this week to help dogs in South Carolina get a second chance at shelters in Ohio, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Kristen Limbert, ASPCA Animal Relocation Manager, shares her notes on the operation.
This morning we arrived at A Second Chance Animal Shelter (ASCAS) in Manning, South Carolina. After meeting with the staff, we carefully secured 41 dogs in our transport vehicle and set off on our journey to give these homeless pups a second chance.
Call to Action
The plan actually began a few months ago when the ASPCA Animal Relocation Team was asked to assist ASCAS. The organization was desperate to transport a few of their long-term shelter residents to other areas of the country where they would have a better chance at adoption.
ASCAS’ office manager told us these were great dogs, but some had been at the shelter for years. In Manning, the supply of dogs far exceeds the demand—there just aren’t enough homes for them all.
After months of planning, our team found three rescue organizations that could accept the Manning dogs. Our only task now: to get them there.
And We’re Off!
Saying goodbye is always bittersweet. As sad as it was for the dedicated staff at ASCAS to say goodbye, they knew this transfer would give the animals a new chance at the life they deserve.
We are transporting both puppies and adults, with breeds ranging in size from Chihuahua mix to Rottweiler. Did we mention the hounds? Well, we’ve got lots of them. And I can tell already that they are all sweet, lovable pups. Despite the stress of being walked from the only home many of them had ever known onto a big trailer, they kept tails wagging—I even got a few slobbery kisses.
Our journey will cover about 1,400 miles and take us to the following shelters, without which none of this would be possible:
Capital Area Humane Society, Hilliard, OH
Bay Area Humane Society, Green Bay, WI
Animal Humane Society, Golden Valley, MN
A special thanks as well to Sumter Disaster Animal Response Team out of Bushnell, Florida, for providing the transport rig, and drivers Daniel Hickey and Don Nuckels. We couldn't do this without your help!
Stay tuned for a message from our next stop, in Ohio. We’ll be sure to share some photos with you, too!

Ed's Corner: Team ASPCA Makes Great Strides for Animals
In his song “Savin’ Up” Bruce Springsteen sings, “You better start savin’ up for the things that money can’t buy.” The Boss has a point.
I thought about Springsteen’s message last weekend when I was in Los Angeles attending the Rock ’N’ Roll Half-Marathon in Los Angeles benefitting the ASPCA. Approximately 8,000 runners participated, many of whom were there to support causes important to them. They did not just give up a Sunday to run. Instead, most of them had trained for months or longer in order to promote their causes, improve their health, lose weight or simply to prove that they could do it. None of these outcomes could have been bought, which made them more special.
I was there to cheer the hundreds of people who comprised Team ASPCA, a group running to benefit animals. Going into the race, some of our runners were nervous because they had never run such a long distance. In fact, some members of Team ASPCA had never been runners at all before they committed themselves to training for this race. But these same people who had shared their concerns with me before the race crossed the finish line with huge smiles because they had not only achieved a tremendous personal accomplishment, they had also promoted a cause in which they believe.
As part of the ASPCA’s involvement in the half-marathon, we distributed $280,000 in grants to Los Angeles-area animal shelters and rescue groups. Some of the fans who cheered on Team ASPCA from the sidelines (or the nearby Bark Park) were homeless dogs from Bark Avenue Foundation. Rock star Bret Michaels, an animal lover who was performing at the event, met some of the dogs up for adoption and even named one “Little Bret”.
I’ve never run a marathon, so I didn’t know what to expect at the event. I came away inspired by the participants. If you think that you might like to participate in a Team ASPCA event, please go to www.jointeamaspca.org for more information.
