Update: How YOU Helped Animals in the Philippines
After the great disaster caused by Typhoon Ketsana and the rainfall from Typhoon Parma, the Philippine Islands were flooded. When we put up the call to action, hoping to help the animals who also desperately need rescuing during natural disasters but are all too often overlooked, your response was overwhelming. We thank you, the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) thanks you, and most of all, the many, many animals we saved together thank you. Click "play" to see some of the rescue work you helped make possible.

The Fund for Animals Rounder was born in a backyard rabbitry, one of the thousands across the country that supply local pet shops. These facilities rival the conditions seen in puppy mills, but because they are smaller and scattered, and because rabbits suffer in silence, they operate with impunity. At six weeks of age, Rounder and his siblings were taken to a small pet shop. Rounder was to fulfill the role of a "live toy" for a small child.
Soon, he was left lonely and forgotten. After what seemed a very long time at the child's house, Rounder was once again transported. This time his cage was placed in an open-ended shed. Rounder's new owner opened his cage door and walked away.
