The Founder's society
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 Asiatic Black Bear rescue in Vietnam
- And so much more!
