I am a big supporter of animal rights and one of my favorite charities is Peta. Every year, they raise money to help build doghouses for poor neglected dogs left outside. Here is more information about the program.

Peta:

With winter setting in, countless backyard dogs will soon be struggling to survive long days and nights outside in the freezing cold. Some die from exposure because of lack of basic shelter, but most somehow pull through, suffering terribly from the cold and damp conditions of winter.

But, with your help, PETA can build and deliver hundreds of sturdy, warm doghouses filled with straw for these lonely dogs whose guardians won’t relinquish them or let them go inside. Your sponsorship today can not only help dogs make it through this winter’s worst weather but also help provide comfort through wind, rain, and summer heat for years to come.

By becoming a PETA “Angel for Animals” doghouse sponsor, you can help alleviate the suffering of outdoor dogs who spend their lonely lives trapped at the end of a chain, with no real shelter from freezing temperatures, snow, sleet, and other weather extremes. Here’s how you can help these dogs:

• Your “Angel for Animals” sponsorship gift of $265 can provide one doghouse filled with straw to a needy dog.
• Your “Angel for Animals” sponsorship gift of $1,325 can shelter five dogs in PETA doghouses filled with straw.
• Your “Angel for Animals” sponsorship gift of $2,650 can give a needed home and straw to 10 backyard dogs.

Please make as generous a sponsorship gift as you can. Help us provide as many sorely neglected dogs as possible with shelter and a warm spot to curl up in!

It is in tough times like these that unloved animals need you the most. We will fight as hard as we possibly can to ensure that animals are not mistreated, forgotten, or ignored.
