Support Project Hope

For over ten years, Doll Stanley and the staff and volunteers of IDA’s Project Hope sanctuary in rural Mississippi have been saving animals by the thousands from the worst kind of abuse and neglect. In addition to providing shelter and placing animals in new homes, Project Hope courageously investigates and exposes animal cruelty and takes abusers to court to hold them accountable for the suffering they cause. Driven by a commitment to justice for animals, Project Hope goes after the biggest offenders, including puppy mills and unscrupulous animal dealers, valuing animals as the individuals they undoubtedly are while trying to change the way people relate to the non-human species with whom we share our lives.

In order to continue their work, Project Hope always needs funds to run the sanctuary, rescue animals and conduct investigations. Please consider a donation to help Project Hope save even more animals’ lives.

Quotables

“It’s time to ground Alaska’s illegal and inhumane air assault on wolves. The state of Alaska has been operating an airborne hunting program that not only ignores federal law but violates Alaskans’ and other Americans’ wishes.”

— Congressman George Miller, sponsor of the PAW Act to end aerial hunting of wolves in Alaska
