Dear Tom Nazziola,
Thank
you so much for your wonderful music donation to the Rescue Animal MP3
Project! I am very grateful for your generosity and your compassion for
animals. With your help, we have created this program to help animals
in shelters, enriching the quality of their lives while they wait for
forever homes.
We are reaching out to shelters across the U.S. to inform them of the Rescue Animal Mp3 project's pet calming music compilation available at no cost to facilities that shelter 10 animals or more with a completed applicationhttp://rescueanimalmp3.org/applicationform.html .
An article in your newsletter or other outreach (promoting Rescue
Animal Mp3 Project and your CDs) would help spread the word to
communities to educate their local government and non-profit shelters
about the beneficial calming effects of music in shelters and rescues.
Thank you so much for your help so far!
In
only 8 months, our project has successfully installed preloaded Mp3
players in more than 150 shelters in 44 states, benefiting over 20,000
animals since December 2011. We are very happy with this early
progress. However, we know that there is much more work to be done,
many more animals to help, and we are up to the task! Follow up
evaluations document 63% of the rescued shelter animals to be calmer,
quieter and less stressed. Our volunteer board members are working
diligently together to coordinate fundraising, grant requests, project
awareness and follow-ups under my direction. Our goal is to reach out
to the over 5,000 ASPCA independent shelters, and nearly 3,000
government–run facilities where the quality of life for the animals (and
workers) can be improved dramatically, with very little effort. Though
it was not part of my original goal, I am happy to say that the
evaluation feedback from shelters has shown that the music also has a
calming effect on humans who work at the shelters and visit to adopt.
This, too, creates a more harmonious atmosphere for the animals. Working
together to reach out to shelters about the Rescue Animal Mp3 Project
will continue to expand our shared compassion to help the animals.
Your
outreach and fundraising suggestions will assist the Rescue Animal Mp3
Project to expand and provide music to more shelters and rescues across
the U.S. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for spreading the word and helping enrich the lives of millions of homeless animals.
