We are so blessed to have such a devoted group of supporters who are the HEART of Harmony Fund. Together, we've been helping bring food, shelter, veterinary care and healing to animals across the planet.

#1. Bears Thank You for Restoring Their Habitats!

Three senior bears are sending a great big thank you to everyone who helped them return to their naturalistic enclosures. Last year, we reached out for help for these bears at the ARKA rescue center in Serbia. Earthquakes and storms had severely damaged their outdoor spaces, forcing them to live in caged quarantine areas while ARKA struggled to afford the repairs needed for safe, natural habitats. Thanks to your generosity—especially our monthly donors—the bears have had a wonderful year. They swim, rub against trees, and sleep under the stars. They are free to be bears again. Rescued as orphaned cubs from the cruel "dancing bear" trade, they’ve been lovingly cared for by ARKA ever since. When ARKA lost its government subsidy last year, Harmony Fund stepped in to send $1,000 a month for their fruit and vegetable supply. Thanks to you, these bears are not just surviving—they’re thriving.

It's never too late. Harmony Fund believes in bettering the lives of senior animals like these bears. Every day is precious, and their days are now filled with wonder and contentment thanks to all of you.

#2. Road Rescues Going Strong!

Street rescues across the globe have been non-stop lately. We're talking about a rapid fire series of roundups of cats and dogs left in grave danger. The rescue squads in Harmony Fund's league are outdoing themselves right now, and we hardly know how to keep up!

As you see in these snapshots taken in Romania this week, many of the dogs being rescued have clearly been on their own for a very long time. While most people cross the street when they see these dogs, there are others who bend to their knees and offer a soft pair of hands for these poor souls.

Below you see Gulcin, a volunteer for our street cat project in Turkey. Gulcin is one of the most kind hearted people you could ever meet and she is deeply devoted to helping the 800+ cats who receive food and care from Harmony Fund daily.

Ukrainian Heroes Say Thank You!

In Ukraine, we continue to sponsor as much support as we can for the rescue and care of the animal victims of war. This work includes: 1. Funding the expansion of shelters to take in more animals 2. Providing monthly food, flea/tick treatments, spay/neuter and vet care for shelters caring for animals who have nowhere else to go 3. Support for senior citizen volunteers who are feeding packs of homeless animals and offering shelter to as many as they can

Last month many of you made donations for the emergency relocation of Yulia's shelter in Ukraine. We will provide an update on that soon.

A Simple Request

We’re facing a $19,000 deficit for September and have just a few days to raise the funds needed to make grants to all our rescue partners by October 1st. We're trying new fundraising methods and continuing to innovate to meet the animals' needs—but we do need help. While we try not to ask every month, it’s sometimes necessary. We are deeply grateful to our incredible monthly donors—your support is the lifeblood of Harmony Fund. Any additional gift today will help us keep our promises to the many rescue teams counting on us.
