5 Seconds for a Good Deed Tonight?
"When Cricket arrived at my home, she was afraid to bark for the first few weeks," Harmony Fund Founder Laura Simpson said. "The pound was a traumatizing place for her. I know she never had a bed or a walk or a chance to see the sun. If she could speak in terms we could understand, I have no doubt she'd ask you to take 5 seconds to sign a petition to outlaw some dark practices at the pound she was once rescued from."

SUB ZERO WIND CHILLS TONIGHT - BUT THEY ARE WARM
Have a look at this snapshot taken earlier today at our volunteer run barn. As temperatures begin to plummet outside, these cats will be warm. We rescued them a few months ago and they are part of an ongoing cat project near our headquarters.

FOUND BY AN EMPTY HUT, HE MUST LEARN TO TRUST....
Thought you'd all enjoy this rescue-in-progress in Romania. Here you see Norica Prigoana trying to gain the trust of a little one in need.
"This poor angel was probably abandoned by shepherds somewhere on a hill near a hut," Norica explains. "I do not know how he survived until now or what he has eaten until our foster family found this poor dog sitting next to a hut. He was in a very poor condition, very skinny with on leg hurt. He's thirsty ...

SEND US A POSTCARD FROM SCOTLAND!
Look at dear Ferdinand, a very gentle street dog who's care we helped sponsor in Croatia this winter after receiving an urgent plea from volunteer Suzana Demiraca who needed help with the cost of his urgent surgery. Ferdinand is now fully healed and is on his way to Scotland to live with his new mom. His new family has renamed him Brodie (very cute) and he is already enjoying the wonderful care he's receiving at his foster home.
Though the Harmony Fund is per...

ON THE BRINK OF WAR IN UKRAINE: WHO WILL FEED THE ANIMALS?

Can We Feed the Dogs & Cats Here And Keep Them Safe
http://harmonyfund.org/donate/1305-dogs-cats- will-be-fed-with-your-help#dog-blue
We've been in touch with two major animal shelters in Ukraine and both are petrified and in a state of shock. The price of food has skyrocketed and because of the fear domestically, no one is donating funds or bringing in food for the dogs and cats. We ARE now that lifeline.
"Stop. Breath. and look around with opened eyes," says Marina Bolokhovets of FRIEND an...

SKYROCKETING PRICES & FEAR IN UKRAINE
Help With Dog Food
We've just sent financial support to FRIEND shelter in Dneproperovsk, Ukraine. The shelter's founder Marina reports that the situation is dire with dramatically escalating prices for food and daily LIMITS on how much they can withdraw from their bank account to buy the food. They are under tremendous stress and truly afraid.
Marina says she's often criticized for caring for the animals because humans are suffering too. "But the pain of ...

YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHAT THIS PELICAN SWALLOWED
First Hand Account & Photo by Laura Guttridge (Florida, U.S.A.)
"I recently assisted our local animal control officer Bruce Dangerfeild in the rescue of two injured pelicans at a Riverside boat ramp in Vero Beach Florida. When I first arrived I noticed the pelicans both had grotesque-looking bulges in their necks, and what appeared to be hooks poking out of their necks.
We tried to lure the injured pelicans away from the water with some bits of fo...

PAIR OF DOGS IN SARAJEVO MAKE IT PAST PROTESTERS
We just received this wonderful photo from volunteer Andrea Blackbird in Sarejevo. She had asked for help from the Harmony Fund to board two dogs, Teddy and Dolly, who had been rescued from the streets. The dogs have been accepted by Dogs Trust in the UK and will be traveling there for adoption soon, but Andrea simply didn't have the funds to put them into a pension (boarding facility). And getting there was another challenge.

NEARLY BLOWN OVER WITH ANOTHER GUST OF GRATITUDE...
Today the Harmony Fund dropped a little 'magic' at Ohana Horse Rescue in Florida. Here we see founder Carrie Young doing what she does best. Like so many others, Carrie is barely getting by, but the welfare of the horses comes above all else. We were so pleased to offer a bit of financial support here today and to so many other heroic animal rescue missions internationally.
Where else but the Harmony Fund can you grant the wishes of 'underdo...

MIRACLE MAKERS: YOU SAVED THE CRITTER PLACE!
Over the last few days, we've been visited by a fleet of angels, each leaving a donation to help save The Critter Place animal sanctuary in Florida. Many of you may have read the reports that this refuge run by husband and wife team Ted and Karen Koran was in great jeopardy due to her ongoing battle with ovarian cancer and Ted's lay off as a heavy machine operator. But we now have amazing news to report.
Thanks to all of you who circled around us, t...

SNUG IN THE CAT BARN WITH KNEE-DEEP SNOW OUTSIDE
Aren't they beauties? Waking up from another nap in the cat barn. Wonder if they're dreaming of spring when they'll be outdoors chasing moths and climbing on perches on the fenced-in grass.
We have another trio of cats slated for rescue in the next few days. They're in the vicinity of the Harmony Fund headquarters and we're getting together the traps and juicy bait to rescue these felines.
Wish us luck!

CANCER PATIENT NEEDS HELP SAVING HER SANCTUARY
17th Feb 2014, by The Great Animal Rescue Chase
Hope falls like rays of sun on the Critter Place sanctuary in Florida where husband and wife team Ted & Karen Koran rehabilitate dozens of cats, dogs, horses, pigs and birds. After decades of singular devotion to the animals, Karen and Ted now need help. Karen is recovering from stage 3 ovarian cancer and Ted has lost his job.
"It has been very difficult for us the last 4 years," explains Ted Koran, an Air Force veteran who worked for 35 years as a heavy equipment operator but has been laid of...

BABIES AND THEIR BLANKIES....
With the snow outside deep enough to easily swallow these little ones, we're so thankful to witness the comfort of these former street cats who are now living at a Harmony Fund sponsored barn sanctuary.
"I'll never forget the day I found them on the grounds of an auto body shop," Harmony Fund Founder Laura Simpson says. "The wind was bitterly cold and they were just sitting in a wet parking lot, waiting for food from employees who sometimes fed them during the we...

Work began at 4am today. Yes, on a Sunday, the day starts well before dawn. The Harmony Fund has a very tiny team and we're doing our best to reach out to "underdog" animal rescue squads across the planet. This morning we arranged for monthly aid to begin for The Animal House Jamaica, a darling group that is moving mountains to overcome cruelty and an abundance of strays on the island of Jamaica.

CRAIGSLIST POST: "3 YEARS AGO YOU WERE EVICTED, AND I HAVE YOUR DOG"
The following post comes from a New York hero....
"On Feb 9th 2011, you were evicted from an apartment at 20 Catherine St and your old red pit bull was seized by animal control and taken to the kill shelter. She was really skinny and had bad skin infections, and had been bred A LOT. She'd even had a Caesarian, judging by the scar. They said at the kill shelter she was 12 years old. She also had a lopsided face and it looked li...

Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue saved this small dog from the 14th floor of a Florida apartment building. A fire had broken out in the kitchen of the unit where the dog was found. The dog was afraid but miraculously uninjured. He was lifted into the arms of one firefighter and carried to safety outside and given oxygen.
So this is what a hero looks like. Please SHARE if you believe these guys deserve our respect and gratitude for all they do.
