Please specify India Projects or Spay/Neuter promotion, if you have a preference.

Why?

Your tax-deductible donations will support our efforts to move Texas communities forward, joining with other humane states in becoming a no kill country. Area shelters may kill as many as 200-300 kittens or puppies a day; and it is unconscionable for so much death to result from such a preventable problem.

Homeless animals NEED your support of our essential efforts to educate the public and to sterilize those animals in the community producing litters.

Please do not confuse the larger national humane organizations with those in your community working to stop companion animal euthanasia in local shelters. While you may receive many solicitations from organizations out of state, these organizations seldom support local efforts. National organizations have budgets which allow mass mailings and frequently tend to lead the public to believe that they are ?everywhere?, yet they seldom (IF EVER) provide financial support to local rescue groups.

If you truly love animals and want your donations to make a difference for the animals in YOUR COMMUNITY, please support your local humane society or rescue groups!

Join us and make a difference!

1. Ahimsa networks on an international level to help our 'sister shelters' in need. Including, but not limited to donated computer equipment (Ahimsa Volunteer Assistance Program), spay/neuter promotion and 'prevention' ideas, medical supplies, pet carriers, fans, pet food and actual monetary donations (when available) to assist with spay/neuter surgeries.

2. Ahimsa promotes programs that help veterinarians, without adding more work and cost to the vets themselves. We work to bring more well-care follow-up business to all vets by promoting responsible pet stewardship. Vets do not have to participate in special programs, offer discounts or even sign up. Our "2K3K Neuter Reward Program" encouraged US citizens to neuter their pet at any licensed vet clinic anywhere in the country. The responsible owner who's name was drawn was rewarded $3,000.00 simply for neutering their pet!



3. Ahimsa is DIFFERENT. We are doing the job that national humane organizations NEED to be doing. We promote spay/neuter in any and all conceivable ways. Ahimsa's President's personal vehicle shamelessly sports approximately $450.00 worth of professional race car decals promoting spay neuter, and our company sponsor's (Maharani Imports) business van sports $1,000.00 worth of decals promoting spay neuter, and not one word to promote their business. Similar to autowraps www.myfreecar.com - we toss vanity to the wind to promote spay/neuter with humor. In north Texas watch for the Ahimsa van, (I need to send/scan photos!) and the Neuteress of the Night's NISSAN (Nifty Individuals Start Spaying And Neutering) AlterMa! (Van received national coverage in SPAY USA Newsletter & The Neuteress Mobile received coverage in Best Friends Sanctuary Magazine.)



4. Ahimsa travels to animal friendly conventions (Spay USA and Doing Things For Animals annual No Kill Conferences) to share ideas and network nationally to save lives with ingenuity and humor. We NEED to be traveling to each state and national humane, and animal control convention to share these unique advertising and marketing ideas/resources. YOUR donation can make it happen!



5. Ahimsa serves as a catalyst to bring local humane, animal control facilities, and rescue groups together. In north Texas we sponsor The Save-A-Life GUIDE, a comprehensive listing of between 200-300 rescue and humane groups. Authored by Vicki Todaro, Ahimsa board member and Chairperson of The Save-A-Life GUIDE Community Project, this publication is an essential tool for enabling the networking necessary to save more animal lives! The SALG was presented at the DTFA No Kill 2000 as a working model for communities in all 50 states of the USA!



6. Ahimsa's "Volunteer Assistance Program" provides donated computer equipment, when available, to humane volunteers.
