Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals
Mission: Mission American Red Lion provides funds and supplies to the credible, boots on the ground local shelters, hospitals, and people who are rescuing animals during disasters and who understand the problems that need to be solved, but who do not have a platform to stand on to solicit funds. The Problem: There are over 25,000 Animal Welfare Organizations, 10,000 Animal Hospitals, and 1.3 million livestock farms in the United States and people keep donating to the same charities over and again because they do not know whom to donate to. Local animal shelters, hospitals, small farms, and other organizations who are boots on the ground rescuing animals during disasters are not getting the funds and supplies needed to assist to save the unusually high number of animals needing to be saved during disasters. NOTE: 79% of all households in the US own at least one dog or one cat. But there is no system in place for families to bring their pets when disaster strikes. As a result, people are forced to leave their animals behind to suffer and die. Our VisionTo create a permanent and universal system for housing animals during disasters. If the local animal shelters and hospitals have funds and a venue to house the animals, many are willing and capable of staying with family pets during the disaster until they can be reunited with their families.
Results: Donations increased by 700% from 2017-2019.YTD we have provided funds and supplies for a minimum of 34 animal organizations to assist with the immediate rescue and care of animals suffering from the last five major disasters within the United States.
Target demographics: Animal welfare nonprofits and relief organizations who can provide urgent relief for usually overwhelming number of animals struggling to survive during disasters.
Direct beneficiaries per year: 12 organizations
Geographic areas served: International
Programs: Bahamas: Feed-Spay-Neuter Project 2020The goal is to reduce the population of stray dogs and cats on the island. Project 2020 Bahamas will focus on Feeding, Spaying and Neutering as many of the stray 10,000 dogs and cats on the island. Each year over 4,000 cats and dogs starve to death or die from lack of veterinarian care in the Bahamas. This year over 5,000 animals were abandoned by their owners just from Hurricane Dorian in both Grand Bahama and Abaco Islands. Animal Rescuers on the islands tell their stories and they cry as they watch animals starve and die in front of them. These stray animals living in filth, without food, water, or shelter, Potcakes and Potcats (the names given to stray dogs and cats, ) are in desperate need of food as we rescue them one by one to be spayed and neutered to curb the population. American Red Lion is working hand in hand with our rescuers, primarily Keith Cooper, and veterinarian Doctor Chante Wildgoose, who will spay and neuter the animals at a low cost. With the worst hurricane disaster to hit the northern Bahamas in history, the trauma for these animals is incomprehensible. They need your help and they need it now.
