> A message from Ben > Progress meter last updated 08.20.08. THANK YOU for your contributions and continued support!
How are you? My name is Ben, I'm a Siberian Husky, and I'm about four years old. A year and a half ago I was severely burned in a fire. I was covered in third degree burns, and unfortunately, my face caught most of the flames. As a result, I wasn't able to open my eyes for several weeks. Fortunately, a loving couple found me and put me in touch with Animals Benefit Club (ABC!).
The nice people here feed us, make sure we get medicine when we need it, and they play with us and love us until we get to go to our new forever homes. The problem is that ABC is struggling right now and we desperately need funds. Many wonderful people have contributed over the last 26 years to help so many animals like me, but we need money to keep our doors open. If you could please help us with any donation you can spare, my friends and I would really appreciate it.
There are many ways to make a tax deductible donation:
>
Paypal - click the "make a donation" button to the left
> Any Wells Fargo branch, ABC account #3752822472
> Mail - send a check to PO Box 26627, Phoenix AZ 85068
Hugs, kisses, and thanks for reading,
Ben

> SUMMER IS COMING - make sure you and your pets are prepared for the hot weather!
Summer is approaching, and the warmer weather is already here in the valley. When the temperature is above 85 degrees, leave your animals at home instead of taking them for a car ride. On a hot day, even with the car windows open, the temperature inside can reach 215 degrees within 10 minutes. Within those short moments your pet can suffer irreparable brain damage - and even die from heat stroke.
Watch out for hot sidewalks, and even swimming pools too. You can check out more of our tips for the hot summer months HERE.
