One of my favorite things about the holiday season is the chance to reflect on what I’m most grateful for. And this year, amid so much uncertainty, I’m grateful for one constant: your dedicated support. Through your generosity, you’ve shown your commitment to helping neglected and abused animals.
And today, I’m writing to tell you about a special opportunity to save three times as many lives…
Through our Home for the Holidays Matching Gift Opportunity, your gift today will have three times the impact for animals in desperate need. Thanks to this matching gift opportunity, your holiday gift will triple in impact. The Atlanta Humane Society’s President’s Circle will match all gifts received — up to $50,000 — between now and December 31.
That means every dollar you share today will go three times as far to rescue animals from cruelty and neglect.
This matching gift opportunity couldn’t have come at a more urgent time. Despite this already challenging year, there are still so many animals in need. We urgently need your help to care for as many animals as we can. Your gift of any size will make a big difference for animals who desperately need help. Please make your gift by December 31.
Your generosity will help animals like Charla… When Charla was first taken in as a stray by a kind family, they had no idea she was pregnant… or would give birth to nine puppies. Quickly overwhelmed, the family brought Charla and her pups to a local shelter — one of our transfer partners. The small shelter took care of them but the family of 10 was a lot for them to handle too, and they reached out to other shelters for help. Charla and all 9 of her pups were transferred to the Atlanta Humane Society so the family could stay together until the puppies were old enough to be adopted into loving homes. With our average cost of $264 for every animal in our care from intake through adoption, we were looking at expenses of $2640 to save Charla and her family.
Thanks to your support, Atlanta Humane can give Charla and her puppies, and other animals like them, second chances at life… and the opportunity to have homes for the holidays. It’s so hard to think about what might have happened to these sweet pups if we weren’t here to care for them. Through your caring generosity, you can let animals like Charla and her puppies know they’re not alone — and not forgotten. We will be there for every animal who needs us — but we can’t do it without you.
Please help other animals find a loving home for the holidays with your gift today!
Through the Atlanta Humane Society’s Home for the Holidays Matching Gift Opportunity, your most generous gift today will triple in impact to rescue and care for even more animals who are in desperate need. Remember, the deadline for this opportunity to triple your impact is December 31. I hope animals in need, like Charla and her pups, can count on you to rush your best gift today.
With gratitude,
Cal Morgan
