My name is Snowflake. I was living in horrible conditions outside downtown Phoenix with my brothers, Nicholas and Midnight, and my mother Noel. We were so scared. With no place safe to sleep, no food, and near freezing temps, we were unsure if we were going to survive. We tried not to lose hope and snuggled close together to keep each other warm. As the days passed we would hunt for food in nearby trash cans. It was all we had to survive. Many times it made us sick.

Then one day volunteers from ABC arrived and rescued us! They wrapped us in soft blankets and held us close in their arms – we purred for probably the first time ever. They brought us to their shelter and we now have a safe place to live, wonderful food, even cat trees, toys and a litter box. We are so happy and so WARM! Plus, we have as much good food and fresh water as we want and the staff and volunteers are so nice. We found out there are many dogs and cats like us at the shelter. ABC rescues abandoned, homeless animals and rehabilitates them so they can find their forever homes. We also found out that it is run by volunteers and all donations go to animal care and support!

There are so many homeless cats and dogs, it’s truly heartbreaking. I shudder to think what would have happened to us if ABC had not come to our rescue. I hope you can find it in your heart to make a donation and continue to help animals like me. I managed to slip a donation return envelope in the letter for your convenience! Remember, ABC is a 501c3 charitable organization so your donation is one hundred percent tax deductible.

Thank you for listening and have a wonderful Holiday season!

Love,
Snowflake

The past year has been full of challenges and for most of us, home has become the place where we feel safe and protected. So many of the animals at Animals Benefit Club had no home and were struggling to survive on the streets. Now rescued, we provide these cats & dogs with a safe and loving environment in order to help them heal.

Moby & Roscoe provide comfort to one another and this unlikely pair can often be found curled up in a big ball on their bed! Moby was abandoned in an apartment when his owner moved and Roscoe had a broken leg and was on the euthanasia list at MCACC. Both are the sweetest, most gentle boys you would ever want to meet and while they love to play with other dogs, they truly have a bond that is unique and special.

Onyx was found outside a recovery house for substance abusers. We like to think he was a therapy cat for the residents. He had been attacked by another cat and an ABC volunteer requested our help. We treated his injuries as well as a serious urinary tract infection. Now he is king of the castle in our cattery! Of all the animals we have rescued off the street, he is truly one special boy: sweet, affectionate, and so grateful.

Beautiful Charlotte was rescued from a shoe box outside a school. She was starving and had ear mites but thanks to the dedicated care she received from the ABC staff she is now a beautiful, healthy cat!

Precious Snoopy was owned by a homeless person who could no longer care for her. She was then given to someone who released her back on to the street, alone and with no hope. Fortunately, ABC tracked her down and rescued her after she was nearly hit by a car. Snoopy loves people and enjoys playtime with her doggie friends.

Squirrel was pregnant when we rescued her and she gratefully had her three kittens in a safe, comfortable environment at ABC. This easy-going mama is now looking for a lifelong friend and a place to call home.

Emily was left to die after being abandoned in the yard of a vacant house. She had serious trust issues with everyone who tried to befriend her. It wasn’t until she became very ill with an intestinal disorder and required surgery and extensive rehabilitation that she began to trust people. She now enjoys playing ball and allows people to give her all the love she has been deprived of. She is a completely different dog – just more evidence that every life is worth saving!

We wish you and your loved ones comfort and joy this holiday season and throughout the coming year. Your support helps provide care to our rescue animals while on their journey to a forever home. Every gift helps. Please consider a tax-deductible donation today.

Gratefully, the Rescue Animals at ABC

A Second Chance

Our names are Buddy and Bella. We’re all smiles now that we’re safe and loved but that wasn’t always the case. We were surviving on a construction site in Mesa during the middle of the summer. We lived off of scraps and handouts from the workers. They tried their best to help us, but we were frightened. Luckily, volunteers from Animals Benefit Club rescued us. We both received much needed medical care from the vet, including surgery to repair Bella’s hernia. Now at ABC, we get daily meals, a cozy bed, and play time outside, which we love!

Through no fault of our own we ended up homeless, but because of ABC we’ve been given a second chance. Their Street Rescue Program helps to reduce the pet overpopulation and alleviate the suffering of homeless animals like us.

Phoebe was found roaming the streets without a collar or tags. She may be pint-sized, but she has a big heart and loves people and other dogs, especially her best friend Annie. Annie was rescued by an ABC volunteer from behind a shopping mall where she had been eating trash to survive.

Nugget (available soon) is the most extraordinary cat. He was found waiting for food in a feral cat community. He was so friendly and outgoing it was obvious he wasn’t feral, so a caretaker rescued him. Despite the severe, painful inflammation of his mouth and gums and extensive extractions, his sweet personality never wavered, not even when he was given his pain meds!

Emma was found wandering around rural Camp Verde. Now that she’s safe at ABC she loves to run around and play with her friends. This youthful, energetic girl needs a home with an active family and a tall fence.

Strawberry (adopted!) was born at ABC after her mom was rescued from the streets. Thankfully this helped prevent Strawberry and her three siblings from having babies of their own and contributing to the pet overpopulation.

Gemma was abandoned in a box along with her medical records. We can’t figure out why, because she is super affectionate and quite the social butterfly!

It was your support that provided us with food, shelter, and medical care (and lots of love!) when we needed it the most. Please make a tax-deductible gift today and help ABC continue to give a second chance to more animals just like us!
