We're Making a Difference (thanks to you!)

In the past year we've funded a number of projects that created a significant benefit in the lives of animals, including:

~ Providing funding for the care and feeding of fourteen sea lions rescued and rehabilitated by the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach.

~ Supporting Wetlands & Wildlife Care Center's Pelican Recovery Project by contributing to a generous matching grant.

~ Putting the spotlight on Big Black Shelter Dogs through our "Out of the Cage - Into Your Heart" yellow bandana campaign.  We're working with shelters in San Clemente, Ontario, Newport Beach, North San Diego County, and San Bernardino.

~ Funding a project to tint windows at the Newport Beach Animal Shelter, expanding space in the cattery enabling Newport Animal Control to rescue and care for up to 20 more homeless adoptable cats.

~ Providing an opportunity for kids (and adults) to create frozen treats for the animals living at Wolves-N-Wildlife.  These "popsicles" included meat treats for Raja the Tiger and Sarah the Wolf and fresh berries for Buddha the Bear.  A big treat on a hot summer day!

~ Providing funding for Wonders of Wildlife so this creative, hands-on program can continue educating children by bringing wildlife into the classroom.  Lizards, iguanas, bugs, small mammals -- all representatives of the wildlife that surrounds us.

~ Our Tiger Dreamz' Pet Blankets, Fair Trade Arts & Crafts and other unique animal related merchandise are always welcome additions to any silent auction, raffle or fundraising event. This past year we were happy to donate to these valuable organizations: Newport Beach Animal Shelter, The Shambala Preserve, Santa Ana Zoo, Best Friends Society, Wetlands & Wildlife Care Center, Wolves-N-Wildlife, The Greyhound Gang, Orange County SPCA, Almost Home For Hounds, Wonders of Wildlife, Costa Mesa Bark Park, Irvine Animal Shelter, Canine Companions For Independence.

~ Contributing to the San Diego Zoo's Project Elephant Footprint campaign to protect and study Africa's largest remaining elephant population, California Condor Species Recovery efforts of the Ventana Wildlife Society, and Mountain Lion conservation efforts of the Mountain Lion Foundation.
