Support Lifesaving Efforts with Hanaeleh Horse Rescue through Fundraising
Hanaeleh Horse Rescue is in great need of "behind-the-scenes" supporters to help sustain the rescue through professional and administrative tasks. This volunteer path is ideal for those who may not meet the physical requirements of ranch work but want to contribute their skills in communication and organization. Volunteers in this role help coordinate events, make phone calls to local businesses, and assist with donor outreach. By helping to secure the necessary funds for hay and medical expenses, these advocates play a vital role in the rescue’s long-term success.
Guard Endangered Species with Helping Rhinos as a Rhino Guardian
Helping Rhinos invites supporters to take a standing role in wildlife protection by becoming a Rhino Guardian. This monthly giving program provides the consistent, reliable funding necessary to keep anti-poaching teams in the field and maintain the "Rhino Strongholds" where these animals can thrive. They ensure that every Guardian is kept informed with exclusive updates from the front lines, showing exactly how their contributions are being used to provide medical care, aerial surveillance, and habitat security for endangered black and white rhinos.
Support Wildlife Orphans with Helping Rhinos through their Adoption Program
Helping Rhinos offers a unique way for the community to connect with individual animals through their Rhino Adoption program. Supporters can choose to "adopt" a specific rhino orphan, such as those being raised at the Zululand Rhino Orphanage, providing the funds needed for specialized milk, veterinary care, and 24-hour security. They provide adopters with a digital adoption pack, including a certificate and regular photos and videos of their rhino's progress, allowing families and classrooms to follow the journey of a young rhino as it prepares for an eventual return to the wild. They manage a symbolic adoption program that directly funds the rehabilitation of orphaned calves whose mothers were lost to poaching. It is a meaningful way to contribute to the survival of the species while learning about the individual personalities of the rhinos in their care.
Support Lifesaving Care with the LA County Animal Care Foundation as a Faithful Friend
Los Angeles County Animal Care Foundation provides a vital financial backbone for the seven LA County care centers, including Downey, through their "Faithful Friends" program. By becoming a recurring donor, community members ensure that funds are always available for emergency medical care, specialized grooming to enhance adoptability, and behavior enrichment programs that reduce shelter stress. They use these contributions to provide the "extra" care that goes beyond the basic shelter budget, such as spay/neuter vouchers and disaster response equipment, directly improving the quality of life for thousands of animals each year. Donors can choose to make a one-time gift or set up automatic payments, with all proceeds going toward programs like "Dreams Come True" for medical cases and "Fresh Starts" for professional grooming.

Sponsor An Animal at The Gentle Barn
At The Gentle Barn, they save the lives of animals who are too old, sick, scared, or injured to be adopted, and who would otherwise be euthanized. They give the animals sanctuary with us, and when they are ready, partner with them to help people suffering from the same stories of trauma, and connect people to the love and magic of animals. The Gentle Barn is host to foster agencies, drug and alcohol rehab centers, war veteran centers, domestic violence shelters, homeless shelters, children’s hospitals, burn centers, and individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, and grief. The farm animals that reside at The Gentle Barn have all been rescued from severe abuse, neglect, abandonment or worse. They have been rehabilitated with traditional and non-traditional medicine, top quality nutrition, and countless hours in the arms of staff and volunteers. They have regained their trust in humankind by realizing that they are now loved, and their abuse is over. Because of their ongoing physical and psychological needs, they can't be adopted and are given sanctuary for the rest of their lives - and you can sponsor their journey.
