Save A Pet In Time For Christmas ~ from IFAW

I have received this e-mail from Fred O'Regan, International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW)


I urgently need your help to save abandoned family pets struggling to survive at a garbage dump on the island of Cozumel in Mexico.

These desperate cats and dogs - many of them kittens and puppies in sickly conditions that would break your heart - paw through towering piles of rotting trash looking for scraps to eat. At dusk, they must fight off vultures for the same food.

During this special time of year, please consider making a special Christmas donation to give Cozumel's suffering pets a second chance.

For a gift of just £25, you can help treat one dog or cat for mange and eye infections...rid them of worms and parasites...even help them eventually find a loving home.

Simply put, you can save the life of one of these poor animals.

One young, fawn-colored dog sits patiently at the entrance of the dump. Day after day, he waits for his owners to take him home. But he will never see his family again. Because like so many other Cozumel dogs over the age of two, he was most likely tossed aside for a new puppy.

That's why my wish this Christmas is to raise as many funds as I can to provide veterinary care for animals in need around the world...and to spay and neuter homeless cats and dogs to stop this cycle of suffering.

Any amount you can afford to give right now
will help us collect and treat these animals - heal their infestations, save them from deadly tick-borne disease, provide spay and neuter surgeries to reduce homelessness - and find as many as we can loving homes through our partners at the Humane Society of Cozumel.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,


Fred O'Regan
IFAW CEO

P.S. I'm committed to providing these animals with veterinary care, basic comfort and to rehoming as many as possible. Please reach into your caring heart and send a Christmas donation to help save the lives of the dump dogs and cats and other animals suffering from cruelty.
