The Greater Good Foundation (which runs the Animal Rescue Site) has made it possible for us to provide families with relief packages to get back on their feet. Other agencies are helping people too, but none are helping animals. By caring about people and animals alike, we send a powerful message to the communities, governments and aid agencies that animals matter too! Hey thanks! We will not feel abandoned by the outside world with your help. We have also been distributing over 450 bags of special animal feed which improves the animals' chances of survival under these extremely stressful conditions. Gee, haven't eaten anything in so long, I wonder if they have something for me too ... Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!

Caring about animals that have no nationality gives us great hope that compassion will flow whereever it is needed, beyond artificial borders.

Dear friends,

A big thank you to all who donated to help with our ongoing disaster relief efforts. VSPCA is continuing our vitally needed flood disaster relief program (for more info please see our last email report). Current efforts include providing assistance to 14 villages still reeling from the floods. People and animals are homeless and living on the roadsides.

The Greater Good Foundation (which runs the Animal Rescue Site) has made it possible for us to provide families with relief packages to get back on their feet. Other agencies are helping people too, but none are helping animals. By caring about people and animals alike, we send a powerful message to the communities, governments and aid agencies that animals matter too!

Hey thanks! We will not feel abandoned by the outside world with your help.
