You're Making a Difference

Thanks to your contributions and purchases, year we've funded a number of projects in the past year that created a significant benefit in the lives of animals, including:

~ Contributing to the National Audubon Society's efforts to rescue wildlife affected by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

~ Funding a school bus to bring local students to the Santa Ana Zoo and a Zoomobile to bring their education program to schools, and purchasing two field microscopes for their education department.

~ Providing funding for the care and feeding of sea lions rescued and rehabilitated by the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach, and for pelican rescue by the Wetlands & Wildlife Care Center.

~ Sponsoring an Anatolian Shepherd Dog through the Cheetah Conservation Fund's highly successful Livestock Guarding Dog program.  These special dogs are given to Namibian farmers to protect their livestock from cheetahs and other predators.  As a result the farmer's no longer need to kill cheetahs to protect their livestock and their livelihood.

~ Providing support for shelter animals through donations to the Newport Beach Animal Shelter and the Millan Foundation.

~ 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.

~ Providing hay for big cat den boxes at the Roar Foundation's Shambala Preserve.

~ Contributing to the California Condor Species Recovery efforts of the Ventana Wildlife Society, and caring for rescued bobcats at the California Wildlife Center.
