THE ASPCA NEEDS YOU NOW!

I Ask You: Who would harm a defenseless animal? Unfortunately it happens all too often.

Through enforcement and education efforts, your financial support will help us protect animals like Brutus from all types of cruelty.

By the time a neighbor called the ASPCA about Brutus, the dog was nearly dead. Empowered by law to investigate cases of cruelty and seize abused animals, ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement agents entered the backyard. Brutus was too weak to bark or even stand up. In the place of a collar was a 5 pound chain that was so tight it had embedded into his neck, resulting into a gaping wound nearly to the bone. He was so emaciated that you could count every single rib on his weak, dehydrated body. Brutus's story is sadly not unique or unlike the multitude of others that the ASPCA team witnesses day in and day out, and it could have ended in tragedy. Brutus' story had a good ending, THANKS TO EACH OF YOU! He now has a new lease on life. ASPCA's highly skilled veterinarians performed several major surgeries required to heal the tremendous damage inflicted on Brutus, and while he went through rehabilitation for his injuries, the ASPCA certified behaviorists spent time showering Brutus with the love, affection and socialization skills he had lived without for so many years. Today, Brutus is back to his handsome, happy self. After years of abuse, Brutus' future looks bright -- filled with hope for love and affection from a new home, a testament to the power of second chances.
