Abandoned Pets Need Help...

[Suzana Van Oort - Sugito]

The Philippines' flood has left family pets alone and isolated, without food for over a week. IFAW is helping stranded pets as quickly as we can,
but we need your help right now.

Dear [[First Name]],

Time is running out for so many family pets stranded and isolated after Typhoon Ketsana caused some of the worst flooding in Philippines' history.

IFAW's specially-trained Rapid Water Rescue Team is braving hazardous debris, electric and telephone wires, and toxic water to reach animals separated from their families by the flood waters.

Family pets that were safe and warm in their homes just over one week ago, are now stranded on rooftops and on the islands of flood debris that have collected in the streets. They have little or no access to food or clean water.

IFAW's brave rescuers have already helped many of these struggling animals, but so many more are still waiting.

Please say you'll help by giving a donation now.

We've committed $50,000 (US) to the rescue mission, and need to raise that amount as quickly as possible.

Your gift will help us save animals stranded when the floodwaters quickly rose up, help pay for food and medicine for sick and injured animals, and help us continue to provide safety and shelter for rescued animals until they can be reunited with their families. All donations received will be used to enable IFAW to achieve its mission of helping animals, and will be used immediately and where they are needed most.

An unprecedented number of natural disasters have struck the Asia Pacific region in the last week - earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons. IFAW is also reaching out to help animals in Samoa, Indonesia, and Tonga. So if there was ever a time to give, the time is now.

Please make your life-saving donation today.
