We’re competing in the Pepsi Refresh Project to help animals who are victims of extreme cruelty, but we can’t do it without you! Your votes are the key to helping thousands of animals. With your help, we could win $250,000 to use in rescuing animals who, right now, are suffering from abuse and neglect.

How our project will help animals
Every day, dogs, cats and horses suffer from life-threatening neglect. They are left to endure extreme deprivation, without care from the people they depend on the most—often struggling against death every day.
Worse yet, many rural and underserved communities have no effective animal control, and are cutting budgets for cruelty enforcement.
Animals are then left to suffer without anyone to come to their aid.
With the Pepsi Refresh Project, your votes can help give us $250,000 to rescue animals from abuse, neglect, and animal fighting.
The Humane Society of the United States has done more to rescue animals from harm than any other animal protection organization in the country. Indeed, every year The HSUS removes thousands of animals from situations where they knew only pain, deprivation, and fear.
The HSUS has a fully equipped response team to rescue animals in desperate need. With your vote, we can help thousands of animals who would otherwise be forgotten.
How will we use the $250,000?
Travel expenses for response staff: $35,000
Temporary shelter for seized animals: $45,000
Veterinary expenses: $50,000
Animal care, food, and supplies: $20,000
Total in 2011: $150,000
With your help, The HSUS will be able to rescue more than 2,000 dogs and cats from their cruel situations so that they can be placed in their forever, loving homes. Please vote today!
