A Bear Hug For You!

Rescue an Animal in Need

I’ve made a gift in your honor to support PETA’s wonderful team of animal rescuers. These fieldworkers are on call 24/7, quickly responding to emergencies when animal lives are on the line. They’ve helped save thousands of companion animals from cruelty, neglect, and horrific abuse!

Take a look at some of the animals PETA fieldworkers have helped.

Dorothy was Rescued!

I’ve made a gift to PETA in your honor. The abuse that animals suffer at human hands is heartbreaking. But thanks to the efforts of PETA—and our generous Investigations & Rescue Fund donors—countless animals have been saved from lives of misery, neglect, and suffering. This e-card features Dorothy!

When PETA staffers first saw Dorothy at a rural county fair, they noticed that she had an injured wing with the bone exposed. They scooped her up and took her to a PETA mobile clinic for treatment.

PETA helped Dorothy secure a permanent home at Bleatniks Barnyard sanctuary in North Carolina, where she quickly found her place in the pecking order—at the top. She keeps all the other chickens in check, is vocal about her salad preferences (yes to grated carrots, no to green apples), and chats every afternoon with Mr. Blonde, a guinea hen. At night, she walks up a ramp to tuck herself into her very own little bed.

Fifi was Rescued!

I’ve made a gift to PETA in your honor. The abuse that animals suffer at human hands is heartbreaking. But thanks to the efforts of PETA—and our generous Investigations & Rescue Fund donors—countless animals have been saved from lives of misery, neglect, and suffering. This e-card features Fifi!

Fifi’s first 30 years of life were spent at a roadside zoo in Pennsylvania, where the Syrian brown bear was forced to stand on her hind legs and perform tricks to entertain visitors for years. When the zoo finally closed down in 1995, she and three other bears were simply warehoused in cramped cages. Two decades later, PETA learned of their plight and arranged for them to be retired to The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Colorado. Fifi was severely underweight and suffering from painful arthritis in her rear legs. Her coat was thin and unkempt, and her eyes were sunken. But after just a few months, she was a different bear—today, her legs are stronger, her eyes are bright, and her coat has become thick and shiny.

Marshall was Rescued!

I’ve made a gift to PETA in your honor. The abuse that animals suffer at human hands is heartbreaking. But thanks to the efforts of PETA—and our generous Investigations & Rescue Fund donors—countless animals have been saved from lives of misery, neglect, and suffering. This e-card features Marshall!

While a gas station is a great place to fuel up, it’s not a great place for a cat to live. But that’s where Marshall had been hanging out for months, dodging cars and begging for handouts, when a PETA fieldworker spotted him.

With a little coaxing, she was able to persuade him to hop into her van and take a road trip back to PETA’s animal shelter in Virginia, where he was neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before being put up for adoption. In his new home, he loves “borrowing” his human sister’s toys and snuggling and watching TV with her at night.

Fritz was Rescued!

I’ve made a gift to PETA in your honor. The abuse that animals suffer at human hands is heartbreaking. But thanks to the efforts of PETA—and our generous Investigations & Rescue Fund donors—countless animals have been saved from lives of misery, neglect, and suffering. This e-card features Fritz!

A PETA fieldworker discovered Fritz confined to a crate without any food or water. The emaciated, matted little dog reeked of urine, an indication that he probably spent most, if not all, of his time inside the crate. After some discussion, his owner agreed to allow PETA to find him a new home.

After PETA provided Fritz with grooming, nutritious food, and treatment for parasites, he turned into a vibrant pup. His adopter says that his exuberance is irresistible to everyone he meets and that he carefully selects a souvenir leaf or stick during each walk to take back home with him.

Sunder was Rescued!

I’ve made a gift to PETA in your honor. The abuse that animals suffer at human hands is heartbreaking. But thanks to the efforts of PETA—and our generous Investigations & Rescue Fund donors—countless animals have been saved from lives of misery, neglect, and suffering. This e-card features Sunder!

For almost seven years, young elephant Sunder was held captive in a dark, cramped shed at a temple in India by a rich and powerful politician who flouted both the law and an order by the government to free him. He was beaten, and he sustained a severe leg injury from continuous chaining. After a hard-fought effort by PETA India—which went all the way to the Indian Supreme Court—he was finally freed. Now he lives in a beautiful 122-acre forested park, where he’s able to roam, wade in ponds, and socialize with 13 other elephant friends, including the lovely Lakshmi, who instantly stole his heart.

Toby was Rescued!

I’ve made a gift to PETA in your honor. The abuse that animals suffer at human hands is heartbreaking. But thanks to the efforts of PETA—and our generous Investigations & Rescue Fund donors—countless animals have been saved from lives of misery, neglect, and suffering. This e-card features Toby!

When a PETA fieldworker discovered Toby, the tiny horse was standing all alone in a muddy pen littered with trash and manure—and no food, water, or shelter. After his owner agreed to relinquish him, a veterinary exam revealed that Toby had an eye infection and a neurological disability caused by blunt-force trauma. When he was well enough, he traveled to his new home in New Mexico, where he set about charming the other residents, including geese, goats, and a pig. When he’s extra-happy, he drops to his knees, rolls onto his back, and kicks his hooves in the air in an equine version of a touchdown celebration.
