The Animal Rescue Site Creates IFAW Gift to Minimize Damage of Oil Spills

Seattle, WA, August 10, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Since 1989, the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) has responded to oil spills around the world, helping to rescue sea birds, otters, sea lions, dolphins, and countless other creatures are harmed by the intrusion of oil into their natural habitat. IFAW works alongside local groups and community-based wildlife rehabilitators and veterinarians to rescue and rehabilitate oiled wildlife.

Now visitors to The Animal Rescue Site can help support IFAW’s work by purchasing a Gift That Gives More™. Each $25 “Rescue Birds and Animals After an Oil Spill” Gift adds to IFAW’s emergency fund and enables the organization to respond to the next oil spill wherever and whenever it occurs. The Gift represents a direct donation (100% goes to the charity) that will help pay for such necessary supplies as gloves, feeding tubes, recovery pools, and drying stations.
