The Founder’s Society is comprised of compassionate, generous animal advocates who are responsible for creating a lasting impact by making leadership gifts. The generous amount of giving from this group has allowed us to achieve the following:

Care for emaciated lions in Sudan
Opportunities to enter conflict zones across the Middle East to save dozens of animals in need
Reach our 2019 goal of vaccinating 100,000 strays
Complete our largest Moon Bear rescue in Vietnam
And so much more!
