There are many other sites supporting animal saving, vegetarianism, and animal rescue. Here are a few sites to begin with:

Shabkar.org is a non-sectarian website dedicated to vegetarianism as a way of life for Buddhists of all schools. The site takes its name from Shabkar Tsodruk Rangdrol (1781-1851), the great Tibetan yogi who espoused the ideals of vegetarianism.

VSPCA is a home for dogs, cats, turtles, monkeys, cows, birds, etc. The number of animals that are treated and rescued is increasing every year ever since the shelter was founded.

The Humane Society of the US is the largest animal protection organization in the U.S. with more than seven million members and constituents. The HSUS is a mainstream voice for animals, with active programs in companion animals, wildlife and habitat protection, animals in research, and farm animals. The HSUS protects all animals through legislation, litigation, investigation, education, advocacy and field work. A non-profit organization, The HSUS celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2004, is based in Washington, D.C. and has seven regional offices across the country.

Kunzang Palyul Chöling is a group of Tibetan Buddhist centers in the Nyingma tradition under the spiritual direction of Jetsunma Ahkön Lhamo with locations in Poolesville, Maryland, USA and Sedona, Arizona, USA.

Garuda Aviary in Poolsville, Maryland is a nonprofit, exotic bird rescue operation dedicated to providing lifelong sanctuary for abused and neglected companion birds. The Aviary was founded on the principle that the power of compassion is limitless and that life takes on meaning only to the degree to which we can bring love into the lives of others.

Tara’s Babies Dog and Cat Rescue in Arizona came about as a response to the effects of Hurricane Katrina on the animals who were forced to be separated from their owners. Volunteers were sent from our Buddhist community in Sedona to rescue animals and help at the temporary shelters set up in New Orleans and Mississippi.

The Venerable Gyatrul Rinpoche founded Orgyen Dorje Den in 1978 as a place of refuge in the San Francisco Bay Area for the study and practice of Tibetan Buddhism. Since that time, students have maintained a practice facility, and now, thanks to an initial donation from a sponsor, we have purchased a wonderful building in Alameda, which we will develop into a permanent and stable resource for the Bay Area Buddhist Community.
