Calling all Dog Lovers!
Puerto Rico
has been hit hard with Hurricane Irma, and now Hurricane Maria. The
island of 3.4 million people is without electricity, water, fuel and
looters have taken over.
Wild at Heart Foundation has arrived in Puerto Rico to help the hundreds of abandoned street dogs caught in the storm. These dogs are terrified and in desperate need of veterinary attention, food and water.
Puerto Rico has an increasing number of stray dogs, or “satos” as the locals call them, roaming the island. It's a culmination of the economic crisis, lack of spaying and neutering dogs, and an absence of government help. The fact of a category 4 hurricane, the first of its kind to hit the island in 85 years does not help this already existing problem.
The Wild at Heart Foundation desperately needs YOU at this difficult time. Please visit www.wildatheartfoundation.org to see how you can donate!

Working with Cool Earth
The past few months we have been working with the incredible charity Cool Earth.
Cool Earth works alongside indigenous villages to halt rainforest destruction.
Half of the world’s rainforest has been
destroyed in the last 40 years. And, contrary to the headlines,
rainforest continues to be lost at a faster rate than ever.
However, it's not too late. Cool Earth believes the rainforest can be saved. We just need a new approach. That's why their mission is to put indigenous people back in control of their forest.
Local people stand to lose the most from deforestation but the most
to gain from its protection. As such, they are the forest’s best
possible custodians. That’s why all Cool Earth partnerships are
community-owned and led – an approach that research is continually
proving to be the most effective way to keep rainforest standing.
By developing local livelihoods, they hope to end the cycle of deforestation entrenching villages into further poverty. Creating strong, self-determining communities – not dependency.
They are also the only charity that works solely where the threat to the forest is greatest, on the frontline of deforestation. And each of their partnerships forms a shield to make the neighbouring forest inaccessible to loggers – saving millions of acres of further forest.
With your support, Cool Earth can put in place the simple steps that change the fate of at-risk rainforest and the lives of our indigenous partners.
Take a look at their website to find out how you can help.
