Animals3’s "Spotlight On" campaign presents a new and different animal, every month of the year, that has suffered from unconscionable abuse, traumatic injury or life-threatening illness. These twelve monthly fundraising campaigns must achieve their funding goals in just 30 days before Animals3 moves on to the next tragic animal story. These monthly Spotlight On stories are meant to acquaint Animals3's friends and donors with animal events and to direct their contributions to those specific animals.
Each campaign is tied to the specific story in that animal's life that required emergency care. All funds raised for that animal will be paid directly to the care-giver veterinarian to cover the costs of emergency and medical surgical care. Excess funds donated will be deposited into The Animals3 Fund for Spotlight On Campaign for future disbursement to veterinarians and other care-givers in qualifying cases.
This Month's Spotlight
Epic is one of four Arabian stallions featured in this month's spotlight story. He was among 49 horses seized from a breeder due to extreme neglect. The small rescue organization that has taken charge of these four stallions is pleading for help.
Animals Abused & Abandoned asks your help in making sure Epic and the other three stallions get the nutritious food, medications, and veterinary care necessary to their rehabilitation. Read the rest of this month's spotlight story here and make a donation to help them.
