With all of the love and joy brought into the lives of others by the many inspiring rescues of Hope Animal Sanctuary, we often wonder exactly that. When formerly abused and neglected animals forever change the lives for the better of everyone they touch, then do they become both ‘saved’ and ‘savior’? One thing we do know for certain, is that without your help, we would never have the funds to save as many as we do.

Who saves whom? The work we do is hard. Every day we bear witness to animals cast aside like yesterday’s garbage, these animals who have suffered unimaginable abuse and neglect and yet, by some random stroke of luck, have found their way to our doors. Every day our hearts are shattered by the terrible horrors we witness. And yet, it is the boundless generosity and compassion of our supporters that allows us to turn those tales of tragedy into heartwarming miracles that strengthen our resolve and repair our broken hearts.

While you may never know all of the lives you touch (humans and other animals) when you make a donation to help In Defense of Animals’ Hope Animal Sanctuary in Mississippi, you can be assured that for a once unwanted dog like Dally and his two year journey towards a one-of-a-kind home, the support you send means everything.

It’s been said that, “Saving one dog (or cat, or any animal for that matter) will not change the world, but surely for that one dog, the world will change forever.”

If you have not already done so, please – now if you can – help change the world for another helpless and abused animal through your donation to In Defense of Animals and the work of our Hope Animal Sanctuary today.
