make a difference

The personality and unique spirit of our pets and the world’s wildlife are things to be treasured and celebrated.

In celebration of the animals in the wild or the dog, cat, horse or llama/alpaca you hug today — or in memory of the cherished pet that has departed this life — MAF gratefully accepts your donation.

As described in the following animal health victories, by donating to MAF, you — directly — can make a positive, crucial difference in the health, well-being, and life of an animal.

  • MAF research has helped dogs that would have gone blind or lost a leg or their life to cancer.
  • MAF research has helped cats that would have suffered and died from feline leukemia or diabetes.
  • MAF research has helped horses that would have suffered and perished from Potomac horse fever or experienced debilitating pain from a variety of injuries and diseases.
  • MAF research has helped protect mountain gorillas, giant pandas, elephants, wolves, fish, and birds, plus countless other species, from many diseases and other health threats.

There are simple yet valuable ways you can help MAF help animals. Click on the colored links above or contact Paul Raybould to discuss ideas and details on the wide variety of cash and planned-giving options, email Paul Raybould or call 800.243.2345, ext.405.
