A winter polar vortex — WORSE THAN
LAST YEAR'S! — plunged south, driving bitterly cold arctic air into the Deep
South ... Mississippi included. Home of Hope Animal Sanctuary.
Last winter, you'll recall we faced burst pipes
and water hoses that froze solid in a matter of hours. Hope Animal Sanctuary
staff raced back and forth, back and forth, hauling water and heavy hay bales
from the main building to each enclosure and paddock over treacherous, slippery
ground. It was an endless loving circuit — made many times daily — to feed and
keep the animals warm.
The subzero cold was especially hard on our older animals, crippled by the pain of arthritis.
Imagine the relief and comfort of a heated
bed on a subzero night!
Your emergency donation now provides that relief. And with even more funds, we’ll be able to install heating in every building. That is a miracle almost too great to ask for.
But for now, focusing on our most critical needs, please give a gift of: fresh hay, clear and unfrozen water, and warm beds for our fragile older animals.
Please help us keep the animals safe and warm.
P.S. The cold-weather resources made possible by your emergency winter donation will also ease a critical load on Hope Animal Sanctuary staff — freeing up precious time to respond to dire rescue calls like Leonard's. Maybe you remember him...
... In the grip of last year’s polar vortex, Mississippi wind chills plummeted to a deadly 10 degrees below zero. The call to help Leonard came in long after dark, but we couldn’t wait for morning. Chained without shelter, the little crippled dog was dragging his broken body around in a desperate attempt to stay alive, using only his front legs!
He's safe and warm now, so please: For the love of dear, abandoned friends like Leonard, make your emergency winter donation now. Thank you so very much.

If you remember anything of the suffering
and pain that abused and abandoned animals here faced last year, you’ll see
immediately why we
need your help now...

Now — UNTHINKABLY — we've been HIT AGAIN
with another arctic blast... and more are predicted this winter! With every
lifesaving penny already spoken for at IDA's Hope Animal Sanctuary, your
generosity is the only salvation on the horizon.
- Your tax-deductible donation helps us provide
enough hay for food, and so our dogs and cats can huddle up and keep warm when
the next cold front hits.
- You'll cover the cost of bowl warmers in every
enclosure and paddock so our dogs, cats, pigs and horses can have a steady
supply of unfrozen water.
- You'll fund the purchase of heated therapeutic dog beds for our elderly friends at Hope Sanctuary to ease their aches and pains.
