2018 is quickly coming to a close and the new year is almost upon us.

We hope that you will consider making one last generous gift to In Defense of Animals during the last few remaining hours of 2018.

Please take a moment to consider some of the great things we have accomplished together this year…for the animals!

… The happy barks from Judy and close to 300 other dogs as they joyfully play on green grass for the very first time since being rescued from the horrors of the dog meat trade...

… The sound of soft footsteps walking along a path of tribute bricks in our newly renovated state-of-the-art rescue facility built thanks to generous gifts from kind IDA supporters like YOU; where abused and neglected animals of the Deep South will find comfort and care for many years to come...

... The scratch of a pen as voters cast their ballots for humane laws like Prop 12 which bans the extreme confinement of baby calves, hens and other factory farm prisoners as well as the passage of long-awaited bans of fur sales in the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco...

Only hours remain until our Holiday Matching Challenge is over.

Even if you’ve already given, please don't stop! Tell a friend, make a small additional gift, text your friends, call your family. Tell them about the important work we do. The work that you support. Bring just one extra person into the In Defense of Animals family. Please share our 2018 Victories & Highlights video with everyone in your world and be the change you want to see for animals today!

How badly we want to reach every animal we possibly can!

Please tell us that we can count on your help now, so this urgent work can continue without pause.

For 2019, we would also like to introduce our mission and life-saving work to as many new people as possible and we need your help. Please consider hosting an "IDA House Party." You can contact our new Advancement Manager, Michele Lyn Forsythe-Manso at (415) 448-0048 ext. 233 and she will coordinate with you.

It's a chance to ring in the New Year on the right foot.

Thank you for being as generous as possible in these final moments. Thank you for continuing to fight the good fight.
