I researched this charity, Last Chance for Animals, before I donated. They have the highest charity ratings on give.org and charity navigator. I called their office and spoke to their campaigns director who gave me information on their current investigations and campaigns. I was really impressed with the quality of work they are doing and on a lower budget than most animal advocacy organizations. Their work is impressive and the organization is led by one of the pioneers of the animal rights movement, Chris DeRose. I recommend everyone to support this organization if you love animals. They are doing great work! I signed up for monthly donations.
Amazing place! The way to change how animals are treated is to change the laws. This charity has been working to do this in all areas of animal welfare.
After fully vetting you I decided to donate every month to your nonprofit organization. I commend you on your achivements to date and I am sure others will follow. Keep up the good work, you have my full support.
LCA's work is vital for bringing awareness about the suffering of animals to the public. They do great things in this regard, like the short film Super Cow.

LCA does great work with the content they make. Super Cow is an excellent short video which can be shared with people of every age to help create awareness about animal suffering in factory farming. I have shared the video with a lot of people and had great feedback about it. I hope they continue to create content of this quality to help the public become aware of animal suffering.
LCA is totally committed to ending animal cruelty and exploitation all over the world. I am very impressed with their dedication to ending the horrific dog meat trade in South Korea and I donate to them as often as I can.

I’ve been an LCA donor for several years. I’m very pleased with and heartened by the tough work they’ve done all over the world to alleviate cruelty to animals and end their suffering. I’m especially grateful for the work they’ve done to end the horrific, barbaric dog meat trade in South Korea. They are truly committed to this most difficult task of ending this atrocity. I always feel well-informed about their work to end the suffering of farm animals, endangered African species and animals in entertainment venues.
Last Chance for Animals has been one of the most effective animal rights non-profit groups in the nation for quite a few years. They have been in the forefront of opposing puppy mills, horses being sent to Mexico to become meat, documenting the horrid treatment that animals receive in corporate farms (although some small farms aren't much better), and working for no-kill across this country.
I am proud to support them.

I have personally walked sidewalks in late 1980's with LAST CHANCE FOR ANIMALS (LCA) to inform neighbors of UCLA RESEARCH LABORATORIES' torturers of poor lab animals --living next door!! STATE oF CALIFORNIA reacted by outlawing such sidewalk informational protests! LCA worked tirelessly state by state to educate the public about "Federally Permitted" "B-Dealers" allowed to obtain your pet by deception & even theft from your back yard & sell your precious pet to research laboratories!! This year, IN THE 2024 APPROPRIATIONS BILL PASSED BY CONGRESS & SIGNED BY PRES. BIDEN INCLUDED A TREASURED PARAGRAPH MAKING IT A FEDERAL OFFENCE TO BE A "B-DEALER"! NO MORE $50 FEDERAL PERMITS!! NOW, IF CAUGHT, A PERSON OBTAINING AN ANIMAL BY DECEPTION OR THEFT FOR SALE TO A RESEARCH Laboratory is guilty of a federal crime!! THIRTY YEARS IT TOOK TO BECOME A FEDERAL CRIME!! BUT THANK YOU, LCA, & CHRIS DEROSE FOR THAT COMMITMENT!! NO MORE "FREE TO A GOOD HOME" PEOPLE HAVE BEEN EDUCATED BY LCA!! AND LCA CONTINUES THE FIGHT FOR VOICELESS ANIMALS!!! THE HARD FIGHT. TO WITNESS THE UNIMAGINABLE CRUELTY & HAVE TO NEVER BE ABLE TO "UN-SEE IT" -- BUT WITH SUCH STRENGTH -- FIGHT FOR THEM!!! THIS IS LAST CHANCE FOR ANIMALS. I SUPPORT LCA WITH MY LIFETIME SUPPORT & NOW TINY $20/MONTH DONATION FROM MY SOCIAL SECURITY AT 80 YEARS OLD. PLEASE DONATE TO LCA AS MUCH AS YOU CAN EVERY MONTH!!!

The lives of so many animals have improved because of the time and effort that Last Chance for Animals puts into exposing the abusers. The time and effort that LCA puts into helping, saving, and bringing to light the horrible plight of animals is outstanding. I am an avid animal lover and whenever they send me petitions to sign, it breaks my heart to see what people are capable of. It's absolutely hard to imagine! These petitions keep us informed and I immediately sign them as I know that they do make a difference. Stopping the dog meat trade, saving endangered species, and undercover investigations to expose animal suffering are just a few of the issues that LCA addresses. I have been donating to them for several years and I plan on continuing to do so.

Last Chance for Animals is an organization I trust. I have known Chris de Rose for over 20+ years.
Where other groups fail to address the bigger picture of animal suffering globally, Chris and LCA keep attention to a diverse group of conditions in our world and goes after the criminals who take away the inalienable rights of our four legged companions. Bless you Chris for keeping up the good fight. Your continued energy inspires me to do better too.
This charity works hard for animals both locally and globally and has brought about amazing results. They were instrumental in the passing of a dog meat ban in Korea which will save millions of dogs from brutal captivity and slaughter. They also were a large part of getting the LA fur sale ban which was groundbreaking. As an animal lover, I am proud and honored to be a supporter.
Last Chance for Animals (LCA) does great work. For example, with regards to working to ending the South Korean dog meat trade, LCA and South Korean sister organization, Animal Liberation Wave (ALW), succeeded in its quest to get the South Korean government to unanimously vote to ban dog meat on 1/9/2024. With regards to working for a Los Angeles Rodeo Ban, LCA and a coalition of animal rights groups are working to pass a municipal ordinance for a rodeo ban in Los Angeles. With regards to undercover investigations, the Sam Simon Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is the investigative arm of LCA.
For over 35 years, the SIU team has gone undercover to expose the suffering of animals in research laboratories, factory farms, marine parks, and more. During 2024, LCA released a hamster breeding mill investigation and an investigation into California's illegal fur sales. LCA also performed the first ever major investigation into South Korean chicken farms. With regards to saving mountain gorillas, LCA is a major supporter of Virunga National Park's AirWing division in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The AirWing is the best line of defense the Virunga Rangers has to protect the park, its inhabitants, and the endangered mountain gorillas.

Last Chance for Animals is a wonderful charity as they help all animals!! Nothing is too big for the to take on!! If like me you love animals this is he very best charity for you!!
After I returned home after volunteering in New Orleans because of Katrina I realized I didn’t know the extent of the need of animals in the world, wildlife and pets. I researched charities to find ones that I wanted support and Last Chance for Animals fit that niche. Their whole hearted support to those in need is what made me a monthly supporter since 2005.
Last Chance for Animals has done remarkable work in their undercover investigations to expose the suffering of animals in research labs, rodeos, breeding operations, factory farming, and much more. This organization should be supported.
I have no 'one' specific experience to want to delve into right now but over the years one gets to notice which animal orgs put a lot of effort into actually investigating & exposing animal cruelty so horrific it 'has to be seen' to be believed. And @ top of list of who can be counted on for this exposure are Last Chance for Animals & also, Mercy for Animals IMO. I'm particularly appreciative of LCA's tireless efforts against the brutal rodeo industry in CA. For those who care about animals, we owe these orgs lots of gratitude, without them the animals have nothing.
LCA is the most caring, adventurous, selfless and brave group of people anywhere. The atrocities that go on unnoticed are far and wide. These people make a difference. They find them, study them and this leads to freeing animals. I have known of them and been a believer for many many years.
The way to change how animals are treated is to change the laws. This charity has been working to do this in all areas of animal welfare. They do what they say and say what they do. I give them 5 stars.

An organization that really aspires to great things, and succeeds. LCA tackles animal cruelty issues bravely and aggressively. The staff is responsive and always on top of what's going on in the animal welfare/rights world. I'm proud to be a donor.
Love them and what they do- and have been doing for a long time. It is way too easy for people and companies to look away when animals are exploited and abused, LA faces the ugliness and reports it.
I so admire Chris and those that work with him to make such an important difference for those who need it most.

I truly believe if it wasn't for the hardworking and dedicated driven people of Last Chance For Animals with Chris DeRose leading them, animals throughout the world would still be suffering and forgotten. Chris DeRose is a compassionate man that will do what is necessary and go wherever he sees or knows about the inhumane treatment of God's creatures. This wonderful organization has opened the eyes of humanity and exposed the dirty secrets of many countries and corporations that they try to hide. God Bless Chris DeRose!

Thanks to LCA I participated in my first of many fur protests in LA back in the 1990’s. They inspired me, my friends and family to be a voice for the animals.
Chris de Rose, LCA’s founder further inspired me to take action, go vegan and always expose the truth.
I learned of LCA back in 1985 and have been a fan ever since. Besides donating, I have written letters, made calls, sent emails, attended protests, and more because I want to do what I can to help this terrific animal rights organization. Their constant striving to help animals however they can is to be applauded. The undercover work, while heartbreaking, has been outstanding. Pressure on politicians is a bonus. Protests get the message out. One of the best animal rights group on the planet!

Review from Guidestar
We are a group of vegan vet students in Canada and love the work LCA does to protect animals and expose animal cruelty! Only thing they could do to get 5 stars in our eyes is to expose the cruelty that rodents endure! SO many are used and abused in research and teaching and we have seen this first hand! It's a shame there isn't more focus on these animals when they are so greatly misunderstood and undervalued!
Last Chance for Animals is an exceptional non profit organization. Standing up against Animal cruelty, world wide, is greatly respected.
Amazing, hands-on animal welfare charity that has helped uncover horrific animal abuses, and stand up for protections for many animals being hurt and killed domestically and internationally
The money I donate to LCA helps to save animals who are being decimated by humans or otherwise being abused, exploited, poached, or losing habitat.
This organisation see animals for what they are; individual, sentient beings with the right to live freely and with the ability to express their natural behavior. They do everything in their power to stand up for the animals, create awareness and give them voice.
This charity went undercover to expose the fraud and abuse involved with "Class B Dealers". I saw their HBO documentary years ago and I have been a supporter ever since. They risked exposure when they infiltrated a Class B Dealer Kennel. Their methods and actions, to produce and promote change for the safety and well being of our companion animals, animals suffering abuse in labs as well as circuses and the dog meat trade, are genuine as well as professional and do not involve immature and ridiculous displays so commonly seen with other charities. A professional organization.
Previous Stories
Undercover Investigations put them on the map. LCA takes unprecedented action to educate the public via these risky undercover investigations. Many years ago I saw an LCA undercover investigation documentary on HBO. LCA took the bold step of infiltrating a "Class-B" dealer operation revealing in graphic detail the horror of these inhumane "kennels" and the frightening individuals that operate these facilities in the back woods where no one will ever know the misery. LCA brought this secret industry out in to the light. LCA revealed the heart breaking and horrifying abuse of dogs that are sold to research labs via these kennels. They revealed that this kennel purchased and sold "random source" animals to research labs. These animals are often stolen pets, strays, or animals obtained under false pretenses through "free to good home" ads. Others are obtained from shelters and breeders. There was also a back yard "slaughterhouse" where dogs were killed in order to retrieve their heart worms for research. LCA's ability to educate the public about animal abuse is immeasurable.
This is a critical time for animals. Last Chance for Animals is compassionate, hardworking and effective.
LCA has been fighting for the rights of animals since 1984! They are tireless champions and warriors for animals used in food and clothing production, scientific experimentation, and entertainment. Here are just some of our their current investigations and campaigns:
*Stopping the Dog Meat Trade in S. Korea
*Saving Mountain Gorillas
*LCA Europe which kicked off with an investigation into Italian pig farms and the prosciutto industry.
*Sam Simon Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is the investigative arm of LCA. For over 35 years, the SIU team has gone undercover to expose the suffering of animals in research laboratories, factory farms, marine parks, and more.
If you care about animals, you should support LCA!
I have known and been involved with Last Chance for Animals since 1989. For all these many years since, they have shown the utmost devotion and dedication to their mission, taking on numerous projects and campaigns to educate and involve all who care to listen, learn and support their actions to create a more compassionate world. I deeply appreciate and admire the stamina and long-term faithfulness to their most worthy and successful endeavors. BRAVO!.
This organization has stepped in and saved so many abused, exploited Animals all over the world-from Dog, Cats in the "Meat" trade, Bears in Bear bile "farms" and Mountain Gorillas in the Congo-they are everyone for every Animal-they are amazing!
I first discovered LCA when they were a ragtag bunch in the late 80s with no office space, letterhead, anything solid. Except their passion and zeal and commitment for the animals. I was absolutely blown away, and immediately started volunteering with them. It is a tremendous joy to me to see how much they have accomplished and how much they have grown. Never in a million years would I have dreamed, back in those early days, that they would be having fundraisers at the Beverly Hilton Hotel and attracting stars like Priscilla Presley! But they have fought so hard and each victory is so hard won, they deserve it all, and then some.
From working to stop the dog meat trade in S. Korea, to massively supporting rescuing wild gorillas in Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo, to their undercover operations, LCA has been one of the greatest forces for good in the field of saving animals. We are all animals (mammals), but the way human animals treat non-human animals is one of the greatest (if not thee greatest) injustices and tragedies of our time. Thank god for people like Chris DeRose, who has never wavered or faltered in his "dogged" pursuit of justice for these voiceless, innocent, helpless creatures, and his organization. May it always go from strength to strength. I cannot wait to see where the fundraisers will be held in another 40 years!
Previous Stories
In the late 80s or early 90s, I began to be interested in the plight of animals, and decided I wanted to get more actively involved with trying to alleviate it. I started with a protest at Cedars Sinai organized by Last Chance for Animals. As I listened to their charismatic and eloquent leader, Chris DeRose, speak so passionately, I was rooted to the spot and mesmerized. That moment determined the entire future direction of my life in activism, and I immediately got involved with LCA and their subsequent offshoot organization, Sunset Greens. I donated, leafleted, attended every protest near and far, and became a voice for the voiceless and defenseless animals, something that has endured through the decades. At the time, LCA was a rag-tag bunch of young people with no office and no money, only a passionate conviction that this is what we had to do. It has been awe-inspiring to me to follow its rise to a position where it now holds sold-out fundraisers at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, and has expanded into diverse missions where it can now afford to make a vast difference, such as purchasing a state-of-the-art helicopter for the rangers in Virunga National Park in Congo, who protect the imperiled gorillas. I am so proud of LCA and all that it has accomplished over the years, and so very proud to have been affiliated with them for nearly its entire existence. Thank you to LCA and Chris, who still continues with his passionate defense of the defenseless and voiceless innocent animals. You are an extraordinary and unique organization. Despite now having star spokespeople such as Priscilla Presley, Mena Suvari, Pam Anderson and many more, you remain true to your activist roots and having your boots on the ground for what this is all really about: saving them all.
I really appreciate LCA's work in providing a secure environment to the voiceless animals and want to extend my best wishes for all its ethical endeavours.
Despite the difficult situation in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the ongoing attacks on Virunga National Park, Last Chance for Animals stands by the rangers and the park in their fight to preserve the mountain gorillas. Despite frequent setbacks, their support does not waver. It is the mark of a great organisation to make a long-term commitment, even in difficult times. Thank you Last Chance for Animals
Amazing and caring rescue that puts the animals first and does everything possible to save them physically and through the legislative and legal process.
LCA is, by far, the greatest protectors of animals in the world! Every year they document great results and almost every penny, donated goes straight to animal protection. I have been following them for almost 40 years and I am so proud of this totally amazing organization.
Last Chance for Animals works around the clock to stop the pain and abuse for animals.
They are these animals last hope.
This organization makes a difference.
Thank God for their tireless efforts. They do an amazing job.

Nothing like the work of LCA !. It has changed everything for so many beautiful animals globally. It has made a tremendous impact on all the different ways animals are abused and exploited . LCA is the Great VOICE FOR THE VOICELESS!
So much gratitude for LAst Chance for Animals !!!!
They do great work, especially undercover exposing animal abuse and lobbying against the dog meat trade in S. Korea.
LCA covers the suffering of animals everywhere and in all situations. Pigs in factory farms to dogs in wire cages for the meat trade, fish at fish farms to orcas in theme park tanks, rabbits be they in labs or fur farms. LCA works to expose cruelty the world over and bring an end to our barbaric treatment of animals.
LCA are the BEST animal cruelty investigation team in the world. Period. Their founder Chris DeRose is relentless in his quest for justice to the voiceless and he will NEVER stop.
LCA's work is so important in this world of human barbarism. We need far more of groups such as this to combat the monstrous human actions today. For example, I, and thousands of other compassionate and loving folks, have been a fierce advocate against the dog meat trade for over 30 years when I experienced it, firsthand, in Korea. What heinous humans that do such unthinkable things to dogs and cats. Last Chance for Animals is hands on in this fight to end such horrible acts of humanity.
I have been following and donating to LCA for a number of years and I am particularly impressed with their work in aid of "circus" and other confined or performing animals as well as their efforts to end the dog meat trade in Korea and elsewhere. Major kudos and thank yous for excellent work.
LCA is one of the most impressive and vital organisations I know. They shine lights into the darkest places in this world for animals ... and then they work to expose and end unimaginable cruelty. Thank you LCA.
LCA stands as one of the most courageous and forward thinking animal protection groups in the nation and now the world. Fight on, my friends!

I must credit the groundbreaking, targeted & unwavering campaigns run by LCA with first opening my eyes to the horrors experienced by animals in laboratories & entertainment. This organization & Chris DeRose are responsible for my commitment to a cruelty-free lifestyle lasting several decades. I'm thrilled they haven't let up on animal abusers!

They all have a story and LCFA goes above and beyond to speak for those who can’t speak for themselves! Thank you for all the heart wrenching work you all do every day! Thank you from the animals ♥️
Chris DeRose and his team of activists have probably done more for animal rights than any one else in the world today. I was introduced to Last Chance for Animals in the ‘80’s when I was a teen, after learning that animals were being exploited and tortured in the name of science.
Wanting to get involved but not knowing how, I happened upon a protest being held by LCA in front of the medical center on the campus of UCLA. Between chants of “End vivisection now!” and fiercely yelling at the researchers hiding behind the locked doors of the medical center, Chris took the time to explain to me the need and great importance of the animal rights movement. He explained it eloquently and was so kind to this 16yr old kid, offering me his phone number and his time and energy if I would ever like to learn more. It was clear from the first meeting that Chris was an unbelievable leader, an incredibly compassionate person, and dead set on exposing the torture and exploitation that the human race forces on animals.
I volunteered with Last Chance for Animals almost immediately - how could I not, seeing the difference this organization was making. Whether using grass-roots undercover investigations, international campaigns, or direct action, LCA has shut down some of the most offending individuals and organizations that had made their living on the torture, abuse and exploitation of animals.
Even with impending court convictions, enormous legal bills, huge personal sacrifices and only having around $2,500 in the reserves, Chris and Last Chance for Animals never gave up the fight, pushing constantly to bring awareness and an end to animal suffering everywhere.
Today, 30+ years later, Last Chance for Animals continues to be the amazing group it started out as. Back then Chris once told me, “I will never rest until I see the end of animal suffering everywhere,” and he hasn’t rested since. I’m 53yrs old today, and will continue to support Last Chance for Animals till the end. I really hope you will too.
The absolute best animal rights organization out there, and with their presence in Canada now, we are looking forward to more great changes as a result of their hard work!!
LCA is an amazing organization, fighting for animals that are treated so poorly. Keep up the great work!
Last Chance for Animals Is a good non prof because, it hells all those animals that suffer for other animals or why some people use animals as a scientific act, for fun or for business.This happens when people don't know what they are doing. that's why that this organization has to go on the air for other people to see .
Last Chance for Animals is an effective, kind, and generous organization that helps animals in many ways. The animals thank them and so do people who love animals!
LCA is a wonderful organization always ready to help protect animals and their well being. Not nearly enough is being done to help protect animals but LCA makes headway everyday with their diligent work and dedication. I support numerous charities and LCA is one that needs our help to continue their life saving work.
LCA is a great nonprofit which works tirelessly to protect animals and pass legislation banning animal abuse. They are compassionate and committed to making animals lives better and to bring an end to needless suffering of innocent animals wherever they may be. The animals are very lucky to have LCA fighting for them and giving them the voice that many don’t hear. I will continue to support them and hope that many others will do so as well. A much worthy cause!!!

They work tirelessly to get the word out about animal abuse and help animals all over the world. They are a small, but mighty group who deserve all the help they can get to further their cause.
Thank you

LCA has consistently been there to champion animal rights and protect animals no matter what it takes. They are very good stewards of their donations and are a great nonprofit. I only wish I had more money to donate to their causes and work on behalf of all animals!
I worked side by side with Chris DeRose back when he was producing at the tv show HARD COPY. I had access to his business and personal accounts as well as to his payroll from the show. His earnings went to LCA, and he is honest to a fault.
I’ve never in my life met anyone as selfless and true to his word as Chris. His very existence is all about the animals, & he is a man to be admired and respected. Chris is the real deal.
Last Chance for Animals has always been there to do undercover work on behalf of animals as well as rescue and help. Thanks Chris for all the work you do for animals.

LCA has their finger in the most abusive animal pots worldwide and aren't afraid to get down and dirty. Their campaigns win with the support of individuals who are willing to go undercover to expose the wicked underbelly of everything from puppy mills to rodeos to the dog meat trade. They also help out with the world wide struggle to stop species destruction through their support of the Virunga Rangers as well as supporting other sister organizations. I'm sorry an organization like this has to exist at all, but they do a darn fine good job at making a difference for animals and our planet.

LCA is a nonprofit animal welfare organization that deserves all the credit for its never-ending work to help animals around the world for their protection and better life. They need financial help to continue their important work for animals in dire need.

Best --- Leslie Gardner
First of all, I have to say with great admiration for this nonprofit efforts in fighting for the lives of animals worldwide. I am a volunteer who donates and sign petitions to contribute the fight for the well being of animals and the environment. I must say with gratitude the enormous struggle this organization faces daily to rescues to battling in courts to protect those who cannot speak up for themselves is beyond description. Do not let this organization slip through the cracks for the momentum of work that they are doing against an almost ungrateful world of exploitation against mother nature. They do deserve recognition to the upmost. Thank you, David
Led by Chris DeRose and his tireless team, for over 40 years LCA has pioneered and inspired thousands. A true Walk the Walk Leader, Chris and his associate are hands on making change for the better for everyone and the world and most importantly for our animals.
LCA is a true “boots on the ground” animal rescue and welfare organization. When there is political or social injustice hurting animals any where around the world they organize truly meaningful petitions and strong protests directed at governments and municipalities that have the power to make change. They partner with local animal protection organizations to have the best possible impact and to build trust with the people of the place they’re working to help. They don’t just protest and work to protect animals but they work to find solutions to the problems affecting animals and people alike. After signing a petition or donating for a particular campaign I always get feedback about progress. They are not patronizing but tell the real story about the obstacles and road ahead with a positive attitude about the progress that’s been made. I believe this is an organization that I can trust who are true to their cause and make the best possible use of donations.
I love LCA! All their campaigns are impactful, and they deal with all the most pressing animal rights issues of our time. The staff has always been helpful to me as a grass roots advocate for animals suffering in the entertainment industry. Rest assure, your support will truly make a difference for animals at this wonderful organization.

I have supported LCA since the 1990’s. It is one of the most powerful and compassionate organizations around. They fight for all animals and they get results.
When I first started in animal rescue, I was introduced to Chris De Rose. This organization inspired me to fight for the voiceless . I attended many protests. LCA, has been in the forefront of being a voice and bringing awareness to the atrocities of what humans around the world do to animals. I will be forever grateful to LCA for all the selfless work they continue to do, and for opening my eyes

Organisations like LCA deserve to be appreciated, supported and recognised. The difference they have made and continue making for animals is huge, and must support their hard work!!
They do great work by ensuring that the laws are followed and working on new regulations. They do so independently and with all their facts documented. Eye-opener on what happens behind some close doors.
LCA woke up my determination to become a voice for animals. I listened the undercover investigation at the ITR lab at Bay d'Urfe presented by W5. I think i wanted to believe that there was not so many crimes against animals. I realised i was wrong. I was devastated by leaning that it was happening in Montreal too.
Since, i sign all the petitions, from groups of everywhere on the planet and send money to help, when i can afford. I participated at the one year later demonstration against ITR. We were outside in february, it was so cold, but i would not leave. I discovered that the policemen were there to protect us, because the employes trying to scare us with their cars, at rhe end of the day.

Last chance for animals are true heroes for all the animals they help save to recover from the bad people.
Last Chance for Animals (LCA) is the most effective organization for exposing major abuse hidden from view. Chris DeRose is a truly authentic, effective leader of this small organization with powerful results. I support LCA because they get results and eliminate animal abuse wherever they go.

I have been a follower of and a donor to LCA way back when Chris De Rose first started it.
LCA has done amazing and courageous work over the years and I know absolutely that this organization is one of the most important in the continuing fight for animal rights and survival.
Only $5/month is all I can afford but LCA makes sure they update me on all that 100% of the proceeds are used for. This organization Is a Godsend that I appreciate knowing they’re doing all that can be done to save animals globally. When I get updates I always cry tears of joy and gratitude. Thank you LCA!!!
Among the many animal charities I have supported over the past 57 years, LCA is a gold star winner. In its investigations, range & marketing it is the best! For a man to give up an acting career & devote his life to animals is a pretty impressive begining!
I highly recommend LCA! It does a world of good!
There is little that this charity hasn't done for animals, it's amazing. From taking on the dog meat trade, to reaching out to large animals like gorillas, and looking out for our small friends at home. They are tireless, devoted, caring and far reaching. They are inspiring in their pursuit for animal welfare and have hearts as big as the sky. When life brings you down, it's life saving to know people like them exist out there and they're doing all they can for the animals. If that's not inspiring, I don't know what is
I receive relevant emails from LCA to sign petitions which I feel that they care & are taking action.

Exposing the Cruelty of Animal Testing - This year LCA released footage from our 2016 undercover investigation at ITR Laboratories Canada ("ITR"). LCA's investigation revealed how researchers subjected beagles, macaque monkeys, and pigs to cruel tests and repeated abuse, and failed to take proper measures to mitigate the suffering that the animals endured. LCA has filed official complaints with multiple Canadian government agencies and is petitioning the Canadian government to properly prosecute ITR.
Stopping the Dog Meat Trade - LCA is hard at work in South Korea and China to stop the brutal dog and cat meat trade. With full-time investigation teams on the ground and an active campaign on ending the slaughter of dogs and cats, LCA will stop at nothing to end this brutal industry.
Bringing an End to Circus Cruelty - After countless
protests and advocacy, Ringling Bros. finally shut down on May 21, 2017. LCA has been at the forefront of this issue, leading the charge to see the end of this cruel industry. The end of Ringling Bros. has been a hard-won victory through years of investigations and campaigns.
Last Chance for Animals is a great organization. They tirelessly protect animals all around the world. They produce many petitions to forward to governments and urge them to aid with new laws and assistance in improving the lives of animals. I'm proud to be a petition signer and donator.
I have been donating to this organization for years and as always have checking their campaigns and the results. So far I have not been disappointed. They take on many cases and do what is possible to get justice for animals.
LCA is a very worthy organization. They work tirelessly to help the innocent and voiceless animals survive and thrive. I have been donating to them for over 8 years now. I support their mission of rescue and rehabilitate. I strongly urge the public to support their efforts.
This organisation works very hard to help animals in many situatiins, worldwide, including regarding cruelty issues, as strays, and as wildlife. I am happy that they use my donations to them with care.
LCA works hard to save countless innocent lives!
With so many animals being exploited and hurt, it's phenomenal that LCA continues to raise funds and help many animals who would suffer and perhaps die without LCA's intervention.
I have volunteered for LCA. It is a great organization helping abused and tortured animals worldwide founded by a true hero and selfless animal activist, Chris De Rose.
LCA has always done amazing animal rights work! I can't imagine what we would do without them! Thank you, LCA for taking on the cases that few dare to and not stopping until you change the world.

Because of Last Chance for Animals, I was made aware of the plight of Davey the Puppy. This little puppy was severely beaten and tortured, and because of his injuries had to be euthanized. The person who did this terrible act, needed to be punished and held accountable. But unfortunately his sentence was not long enough. Then Last Chance for Animals stepped in! Because of this organization, I was able to help out and participate in the "March for Davey"! We did this at the Santa Barbara courthouse on July 19, 2015.
I felt so proud to be a part of this event. I became a small part in a "voice for animals"! And this was all because of Last Chance for Animals!
A while ago I received a link to the webpage of this charity. Until then I hadn't heard of it - I live abroad.
There are several ways you can take action to help. They nicely explain what they are about, how they help, the successes etc. I feel really part of it and I think it's great that I can take part in making it a better world for our animals.
They give voice to the voiceless. I donate to this organization because I am an animal lover and if that is helping their cause I will continue to donate. I am grateful for the work they do and think they should be recognized for that.
Last Chance for Animals has been on the forefront of animal activism since the movement started. Their undercover investigations have been instrumental in exposing the atrocities animals endure and educating the public about the dog meat trade, animals in laboratories, pet theft and Class B Dealers, live animal markets, animals in entertainment etc. A great grassroots organization!

So much cruelty exists towards animals in this country alone. He and his group go on dangerous missions to stop the brutality such as in China for the Yulin.

First time I've heard from LCA was getting this email asking me to tell you they're great. Looks like all they do is take our money and give it out as grants to orgs actually doing work to help animals.
Last Chance for Animals deals with situations many would rather ignore. Whether it is trying to end the dog meat festival in Korea or dealing with inhumane practices in Canada, they keep the public well informed and up-to-date on sometimes appalling animal rights issues. I have donated money in the past and have always felt it was money well spent.
LCA is one of the best animal charities for their size. They also give names and sometime address of animal abusers or corrupt law enforcement that let them off.
That allows the more potent among us to 'visit' such people and do what is necessary....
If you believe in animal rights and that you want your money to go directly towards actions that protect those rights, I strongly encourage you to donate to LCA. You won't find a founder with more passion and dedication. Rest assured, every dollar you donate counts.
I first found out about LCA on Facebook where I could read about awesome rescue stories as well as horrifying yet sadly true stories describing the reasons for why they do what they do so-and do so well!!
I have been a long-time supporter of this organization because it works miracles in saving the lives of animals.
Chris DeRose should receive the Nobel Prize for his bravery in fighting against heinous medical experiments on animals, against factory farming (for fur and food), and against all types of cruelty to animals. I have read his book "In Your Face," which documents in a very understated way some of his attempts to draw the public's attention to the pitiful state of animals in our society. His work has grown to target animal abuse internationally and the organization is amazingly successful in its efforts. Note that very little money is spent on publicity and salaries.
I hope that this organization never loses courage and will fight on until our unfeeling human natures change for the better and we realize that animals are our better brethren and are our hope for making us more conscious of what we should aspire to be in this world.
The work that Last chance for Animals does is powerful and endless. There is no question as to the passion and commitment this organization does on a daily basis. As an animal advocate I am so grateful to them.
LCA is a great organization constantly working so hard to save animals all over the world from pain, suffering etc. We need soooooooo many more people like Chris DeRose and his team to finally get all animals in this world to be free!!!!!
This group work tirelessly for all animals in need or under threat. They put a clear concise case when they want our help so we can easily see some of the terrible situations that exist out there away from what most of us would normally be aware of. I thoroughly recommend this organisation.

Thank you sincerely for being here for all animals in need!!!
This charity is fabulous and works really hard for animals in all sorts of important ways. They work for international concerns like the dogmeat trade, widlife concerns like gorillas well being, and for animals used for food and their treatment as well as many other animal welfare issues.

LCA is a compassionate, driven, goal oriented organization! They champion the rights and protections for all animals! I especially appreciate their relentless work to stop the foreign dog and cat meat trade in South Korea! Also, their passion to expose abuse at factory farms! Someday our planet will respect the right to a safe and worthwhile life for all sentient beings because of dedicated organizations like LCA!
Great organization! I have been donating to them for years and will continue to. I strongly urge others to do the same, if possible, so they can keep helping animals who so desperately need help!
Last Chance for Animals has been getting results for animals since the early 1980's using both public campaigns and undercover investigations. Strong unflagging leadership and an excellent volunteer force has made LCA a long-lived and respected organization. Support for LCA is well-placed.
This nonprofit does tremendously great things for animals. animals that are running on empty tin the sense that they are close to being I would use the term eradicated. meaning no home but a shelter and thats not like a home shelters try but ask an animal there is no place like a forever home. if people would foster spay and neuter as well as shop dont adopt we wouldn't have a crisis of unwanted pets. I urge you to vote for this organization aas its is LAST CHANCE FOR ANIMALS thank you sheila and Michael massoni Hackensack nj

Last Chance for Animals is a great non-profit that I have been supporting over the years. I trust them to actually help animals from animals being used in laboratories for experiments, the horrible dog meat trade in Asian countries and help expose the horrible treatment that circus animals endure. LCA has had many successes in changing laws and bringing attention to much needed animal welfare issues through undercover videos and other investigations to expose the truth being done to innocent animals behind closed doors. LCA has a 100 score rating out of 100 and a 4 star rating out of 4 stars on Charity Navigator website. So I totally trust they are spending their money wisely.
I have been donating to Last Chance For Animals for several years now. I believe this organization does wonderful work to help both identify animal abuse and actually rescue animals from it. They have a wonderful website which provides a lot of information to the public. It is entertaining as well as very educational. I will continue to donate to this organization whether the award is won or not; but in my opinion, they should win and be given the chance to keep doing the work they do with such a reputable sponsor like yourselves!!

I have followed LCA since it started and I have always believed in their love for animals. They have dedicated many years to raising awareness of animal related issues. They have made good progress helping many animals in many different situations over the years. I will always be a fan and a supporter.
LCA's undercover investigation into ITR Laboratories, in Montreal, exposed the company's cruel tests, repeated abuse and failure to alleviate the suffering of animals. LCA filed complaints with government agencies and are petitioning the Canadian government to prosecute ITR. LCA was also at the forefront of shutting down Ringling Bros. After years of investigations and campaigns, they were finally able to bring an end to Ringling Bros. animal cruelty. LCA's full time investigation teams, continue to work hard, to end the horrendous cat & dog meat trade in S. Korea and China.
This year LCA released footage from their investigation at ITR Laboratories Canada ("ITR"). LCA's investigation revealed how researchers subjected beagles, macaque monkeys, and pigs to cruel tests and repeated abuse, and failed to take proper measures to mitigate the suffering that the animals endured. LCA has filed official complaints with multiple Canadian government agencies and is petitioning the Canadian government to properly prosecute ITR.
They also fight against the brutal dog and cat meat trade in South Korea and China. With full-time investigation teams on the ground and an active campaign on ending the slaughter of dogs and cats, LCA will stop at nothing to end this brutal industry.
Support them they are doing a great job !!!
Last Chance for Animals began as a small, but devoted group concerned about the welfare of all animals. They have done so much for animals in need -- risking their lives, going to jail for the cause and working day and night. I was a member for a short time in the 80s but I moved away and I now am a senior and I'm only able to give small donations to them. I wish I could do so much more. They were the most dedicated people I have ever known, doing whatever they could and now can to keep animals from being abused physically and/or mentally and always needlessly. Always for $$$$$. There are so many abused animals in our world please help Last Chance for Animals in any way you can if you have concern for all of our animals on our planet that desperately need help. LCA certainly gives their all!!!!!
LCA is a wonderful organization. My mother has also sponsored animals from LCA. They need our support more than ever so that they can continue their incredible work.
inform via mails about their acctions and be online almost all the time. i trust them, because i know what they do.
LCA does amazing work for animals all over the world, and is constantly keeping its supporters aware of its progress and efforts.
There are thousands of animals that would be worse off were it not for the efforts of this Nonprofit organisation, often going where others are afraid to go, and doing what others are afraid to do.
First became aware of this charity thru work. An employee's son was a volunteer and I became aware of the good works.
Absolutely TOP NOTCH advocacy group for animal welfare and reform!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND....I have been a supporter for years!
This is a wonderful nonprofit. They do so much to help animals, whether it's to help stop the dog meat trade or stop animal testing, shutting down puppy mills and dog fighting rings and getting wild animals out of the circus and into sanctuaries, this nonprofit does amazing work!

Last Chance for Animals is a wonderful nonprofit organization that fights the good fight for all of our animal friends. It is so great to know that they have dedicated their lives to informing the public of all the unfortunate issues surrounding our animals. It's such a heartwarming feeling to know there are so many other people who love animals as much as I do, and to be a part of the fight to educate people on the sad and horrible stories that are out there today. Victories mean progress, and I am very happy to be part of that. Thank you LCA for all the work you have done, and progress that has been made. It is a never ending battle, but we'll all keep on fighting!
I highly support Last Chance for Animals. This organization works tirelessly to help animals all over the world. They fight for animals because they truly love and care about them. Thank you for giving a voice to those who don't have one LCA. Thank you for all that you do!
I have been an active supporter for years. This organization has true compassion for all animals, and in my opinion, anyone who loves and respects an animal has a very good soul.
The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated. Mahatma Gandhi
I don't have a personal experience with this charity but I have read about their works and accomplishments in saving the lives of all these innocent animals.

Non-profits are the backbone organizations who will fight for animal rights, environmental protection, and so much more. Their interest is solely for their cause and nothing else. We all need to make sure that they can continue their fight for injustices, because those in charge of the country, politicians and corporation, are only interested in the bottom line, how to fill their pockets at any cost. So please, do what you can to support the non-profit organizations, especially the ones that fight against animal cruelty, because animals have no voice! And animals are God's creatures too!
This charity is doing good work especially in exposing the acts of barbarism suddenly occurring very often around the world. I highly recommend it. Victor
Last Chance for Animals gave me the opportunity to help animals in need, who are regularly killed or tortured for no reason. This site will help us to stand as living beings who want to save the planet from less respectful people.
Almost every petition signed by me and other defenders of animals and nature has been successful! We managed to make a difference thanks to LCA.
Thank you
Hi, my name is Rosa and I've only found out about Last Chance for Animals since march 2017. I must say that they have opened my eyes to a new reality that exists in today's world. Far to say it is a very sad one for animals all over the planet. I cannot believe that man is just as ignorant in today's era . Funny how man has the knowledge to exceed when it comes to materialistic things, but I find the only way to feed your soul is through compassion. I owe a debt of gratitude to LCA for opening my eyes to a suffering of animals that a many people are oblivious to, since then I am Vegan proud of it. Last Chance for animals for me, is as we say La Creme de la Creme of an organization , they have class, professionalism, no frills and are dedicated to animals.
Sadly, there are people who aren’t as kind when it comes to animals. LCA stops animal abuse by raising awareness of it. Love your pet, and those pets who have never been loved, by supporting the movement to raise awareness about cruelty to animals.
A dedicated organization that never gives up on saving the lives of animals that are being harmed, abused or neglected.
I trust them to use my donation wisely!
They have done successful campaigns to end all the harm we do to defenseless animals. Please help them continue with this valuable work. I support them in all the activities I can because I can not stand the kind of suffering and destruction we have brought to all forms of life on this planet. And I find that their campaigns are very effective. They work to end experiments on animals, the dog meat trade, ending circus cruelty and others. Thank you.
Last Chance for Animals sees all animals as individuals with spirits and roles to play on our planet and in our lives. They step up to help the helpless.
LCA is not afraid to tackle the "biggies" to save animals. LCA is not intimidated, and fights for our voiceless animals. We need to support LCA with more money to do more good work. Please help. I've been a supporter for many, many years.
LCA is WONDERFUL! They organize very successful compaigns, are friendly, and even seem to manage their money well - they are not corrupt like numerous other non-profits. I admire their commitment to repairing issues across the world and for their awareness. Go LCA!!!
This is the most reliable, straight-shooting AR organization in existence, HANDS DOWN. After recently calling their Director of Investigations and how quickly she responded and dealt with my concerns I will always be grateful. Canada loves you LCA! An amazing group of people!
Everything they do has the animals best interest at heart. They show us both sides of so many sad situations and expose the grim reality of what has been happening to animals. But then they create the best possible resolutions; by donations, petitions, calling people in government, etc. The world is a better place, thanks to Last Chance for Animals.
Love their dedication and vast array of campaigns LCA works on. So grateful for them, and I donate whenever I can to help them help end the cruel dog meat trade, terrible animal circuses, horrific unnecessary laboratory testing on animals, and all the other human crimes to non-human animals. Hope they can keep up the good work until all animals are free and respected. We could live in such a better world.
Great job helping to protect Animals. Keep going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris DeRose. Words can't begin to describe this extremely committed man. For over four decades, he has devoted himself to his wonderful cause, LAST CHANCE FOR ANIMALS, and to animals everywhere. He has changed the world...and knowing Chris, he will continue to educate people all over the world by opening their eyes to the needless horrors animals endure. An amazing human being...and a great friend to all. Thank you, Chris.
LCA does a great job of exposing the cruelty of Animal Testing, stopping the Dog Meat Trade and bringing an end of Circus Cruelty.
SUPER hard working group that achieve results to help to end sufferring of animals at the hands of humanity
LCA is one of the best nonprofit groups, spending all of it's time and money, towards stopping all of the cruel acts humans put animals through.
This group has made a lot of strides on ending cruel experiments, the dog meat trade and continuing to put the welfare of ALL animals first.
Lca is an important organization that keeps performing life saving actions for animals in need. I cannot stress enough how contributing their work is.
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." Edmund Burke. LCA is saving animals on behalf of all of us, and for that we are eternally grateful.
LCA brings the plight of all animals who are abused and exploited for entertainment, futile experiments and profit. Their investigations are thorough, exposing the cruelty inflicted on animals and tirelessly fighting for animal rights. The work LCA does is undeniably valuable in the fight against animal abuse.
Last Chance for Animals keeps undercover investigators in the field tirelessly fighting for the many animals who are abused and tortured. Thank God for LCA investigators because they risk their lives for the animals.
This organization is doing very important work. The horrible abuses publicized by LCA about the ITR lab in Montreal was very important and the subsequent program on W5. This type of medical testing on animals in Canada MUST stop and our government must pay attention to what LCA is doing so that animals can have meaningful lives in Canada. This is a great organization and i support it wholeheartedly.
Last Chance fort Animals does grueling work to expose animal abuse and neglect. With their undercover agents and dogged, fearless persistence, LCA brings critical information to the forefront so that we can speak out and make change. What a great group of people. Thanks for the work you do.
I love Last Chance for Animals because they work so hard and relentlessly to help animals in every capacity they can. It is so reassuring to know that there are people and organizations such as this one to help make a difference for innocent helpless animals. I appreciate everything they do.
LCA keeps pounding away at a worthy cause to make this world a better place, and for that I am truly grateful.
It it about time that some thing is done about cruelty in animal testing in labs & how could any one eat a dog ? What is wrong with society ? How could any one use a poor help less dog or other animal for lab testing it is sick & those people will pay for it some day in their lives for doing it . A poor help less animal who cannot fend for it self they have feelings just like a human
I have witnessed this group uselfishly pursue the rights of animals. They never stop helping animals, and are always the voice for those that can't speak for themselves. I love what they do!
LCA works very hard, with little overhead. It has been a presence protecting animals all over the US for over 30 years, and has organized many demonstrations especially in Los Angeles.
Chris DeRose and his people go above and beyond what anybody else does in order to help animals where help and change is needed. Thank god for him and "Last Chance for Animals"!
The work they do for animals and the compassion they have is amazing. They don't just stick to one type of animal or one area, they help different types of animals in different situations all over the world. They really are amazing people.
I am writing this review for a good reason, for those who work hard & tirelessly for the good of those who suffer at human hands.
They do not do this to line their pockets, or to make a name for themselves, but because they do not believe in letting those who have no voice, suffer.
I've seen horrible things that have been done at the hands of those who loose, or lack compassion. When you see our animals still alive, in a mincing machine,
When you see nets full of living dogs crammed in together for the meat market. When you see children starving on the street & those who need support yet have none.
For the things that we, as in the human race, do. Not to survive, but simply because THEY CAN.
They CAN & DO, & WILL, unless Organizations like this, those who care enough to do something about it, & those who care enough to sign petitions, to distinguish between right & wrong, & then to act upon it..
These are the hidden heroes. These are the people who fight for us, for others, for needless suffering, & HAVE OUR VOICES HEARD.
If we do not do all we can, or say or think 'this is wrong' & still do nothing about it, then we are as guilty as those who perpetrate suffering,
I hope all will stand up & say "NO MORE" & sign petitions, give donations for those who can afford it.
These people are not cold callers, their not doing this for any personal gain, but they are doing this to help others, & what can be done if Organizations such as this should falter, or leave it up to 'someone else'??
Because you will quickly find that without support, there is no 'someone else' to rely upon.
With failing & weak governments, WE AS A PEOPLE MUST DO SOMETHING, OR ALOW INJUSTICE TO GO UNCHALLENGED...
The 'someone else will do it' attitude is a sure way to failure. It is Organization's such as this that will give individuals the power to make a difference, & they should be rewarded for their efforts, with our support. Because it is our support that is needed for the good work to go on.
Support them, & we will support others in turn.. & that is how an individual CAN make such an important & needed difference.
If you ignore it, you are as good as supporting those who make others suffer, & damning those who are suffering.
I for one, will not play a part in ignorance, & I hope that you will not do so either. YOU ARE NEEDED, EVEN IF YOU BELIEVE YOURSELF HELPLESS, CHANGE I, TO WE, AND SAVE US FROM OURSELVES..
& GOD BLESS THESE PEOPLE FOR CHALLENGING THOSE WHO ALL TO OFTEN, GO UNCHALLENGED.
Great animal rescuer! Does life saving petitions! I rescue animals as I can & am an animal advocate/activist. I am able to do what I do with helping through great organizations like this!
LCA is an outstanding organisation dedicated to ending cruelty to animals everywhere.
This group works tirelessly to expose & raise awareness of the widespread intense misery & suffering that humans impose on innocent defenceless creatures behind the scenes.
LCA has excellent leadership & often combines forces with other groups in support of their actions for animal rights & justice. I have enormous respect & gratitude for these amazing humans.
Animals are warm blooded sentient creatures who feel hurt, pain, hunger, and loneliness like we do. Vivisection and cruelty go against every core value we, as humans, have. There is no need for it in this day and age
I have been following Last Chance for Animals for a long time and they are truly one of the best non profit organisations for helping the voiceless and the defenceless. They bring the plights of the needy to our attention and advise the general public of the injustices that animals face nowadays, that many might never know about or learn. I hope they continue their great work for many years to come.
great organization fighting for the animals, exposing cruelty in many aspect as lab testing, farming, etc. etc.
I've watched as LCA has done everything they can to stop animal abuse and help those in need. I donate as much as I can, whenever I can. Their care and concern for these beautiful creatures mirrors my own. I hope they can continue to be successful.
LCA Please help us to "Stop cruelty and Help animals" ! Animals are God'creatures , equal humans .Humans has no right to torture, eat, kill , exploit ,wear animals !
LCA are a compassionate hard working Organisation who work tirelessly to improve the lives of Non Human Animals.
I follow LCA on social media and sign petitions for them when needed. This organization is truly for the welfare of animals and needs all of us to support in anyway possible.
This is a wonderful and effective organization that works tirelessly to bring justice to animals to end their suffering, While many inroads have been made, there is still a long way to go.
When I was first introduced to the outstanding work of LCA at the October, 2013 Gala event through the kindness of Cindy Landon, a truly genuine and dynamic philanthropist, I knew this authentic non-profit was very unique in their mission and loyalty to eliminate exploitation of countless of animals around the globe.
When I watched Cindy continue to exhibit her extraordinary commitment to LCA over the years with a multitude of highly successful projects across the globe, it motivated me to tell others about this incredibly well organized monumental effort by Chris DeRose to really make a difference that was substantiated in every annual gala event.
My wonderful wife Sue and I are so fortunate to have met some of the most caring and compassionate donors to LCA in every facet of LCA's focus to defeat the exploitation of all animals and especially endangered wildlife across our planet.
Without doubt, LCA has educated humanity in a very special way and by recognizing those that have given their lives to protect the world's living resources we are entrusted to care for generations to come.
This is one of the finest animal rescue organizations I have ever known! Back on July 19, 2015, I joined in their "March of Mourning Protest" up in Santa Barbara for a sweet little puppy named Davey, (who was abused, tortured, and eventually died). It was called 'Davey's Voice". And I have NEVER BEEN THE SAME SINCE! It was a very peaceful protect at the courthouse, speaking out for tougher laws against animal abusers. Now, all I want to do is help animals in need, and this is what Last Chance for Animals does. I just wish I could join LCA in all their projects to help animals. God Bless this wonderful organization!
Chris de Rose and his org have always been selfless in doing whatever it takes to draw attention to the plight of animals everywhere. Chris said that if he has to chain himself to the gates of a lab that is mistreating animals he will if it leads to action being taken to help the animals, even getting arrested. Thank you Chris!
They provide current updates for ongoing issues and alerts us of additional things that are happening and opportunities to get involved.
I have supported this organization for years as the work they do is so important. They manage their finances responsibly and consistently are there when needed.
I have been an LCA supporter for years and greatly appreciate all they to to protect animals around the world, including revealing horrid conditions many lab animals endure, working to stop the use of cats and dogs as food for humans, and ending the mistreatment of animals for profit. They have played a leading role in the decision by Ringling Bros. to shut down. It may take years, but they do not quit until they get results that improve life for those who have no voices to advocate for themselves.
I highly recommend LC for Animals~ They do a lot of good, and have also heard good
things about them. I do donate to them. Very Good, top rated!!!! Let's help them!
The bravery of these people stuns me. In a world often hostile to their aims they work ceaselessly to make it a better place for all of us. Organisations like this work in circumstances which would make many if us give up on the human race. Their positive attitude is a beacon for us all, all over the world.
Earthbound angels. Anytime any animal is in need or in distress, or a cause needs help, they are there. Bless you!
Last Chance For Animals goes above and beyond for rescue and has helped countless animals. It's definitely a charity worthy of everyone's support.

I believe in LCA because they go above and beyond to save dogs from becoming victims of the dog meat trade and continue to advocate for circuses to end their history of cruelty by using animals and treating them inhumanely. They provide a wide range of services and advocacy to help as many animals as possible. They care and show it.
Last Chance for Animals is ON THE JOB every time a situation presents itself to advance animal rights and go after the forces of evil that often try to abuse animals to make a buck. LCA petitions give us all a voice to be heard and reckoned with...and bring about change for the good.
Last Chance For Animals is the real deal, working tirelessly since the early 1980s to expose and stop cruelty and injustice to other-than-human animals. LCA has powerfully taken on multiple issues, from vivisection, B-dealers, animals in circuses, puppy mills and pet stores selling mill puppies, dog and cockfighting, the dog and cat meat trade, zoos, fur, you name it, LCA has battled it, often with success. LCA and Founder Chris DeRose have created many lifetime activists, including me, by their example, and there is no more sincere and pure effort to help animals that I can name. I am often asked what organizations are best to donate to, LCA is always on the short list. They deserve our support.
I like how LCA doesn't interject politics into their campaigns. I can open up an email from LCA & not hear Trump-bashing like many other charities (WWF, Sierra Club,etc.) I also know that the money I donate to Last Chance for Animals goes further than other animal organizations.
LAST CHANCE FOR ANIMALS does great work. Especially close to my heart is stopping the dog and cat meat trade in China and other countries, and in the U.S. There is so much good they do.
Rescuing animals, feeding and medical care, and finding good homes for them. It's an outstanding organization.
I am very impressed by LCA's dedication to making this world a kinder and safer place for animals. Whether they are raising awareness about the cruelty suffered by circus animals, the horrors of the dog meat trade, or the need for legislation to provide higher standards for animal welfare, LCA is in the forefront of the efforts. What a remarkable and much needed organization!
It's unfortunate that we even have to have organisations like this, and that after all of our time on earth, we still cannot give animals the respect that they deserve.
Thanks to organisations like these, we are now exposing the cruelty and striking a compassionate cord with the masses.
I donate when I can, and they aren't negatively aggressive during their campaigns! They are doing great work!
Last Chance for Animals helps a wide range of animals, from puppy mills awareness to factory farming and animal testing and animals used for entertainment. LCA organizes national and local campaigns to help understand hidden animal cruelty, from the foods we eat to the clothes we wear. LCA local booths showcase vegan foods while national campaigns inform about circus, zoos, animal testing facilities cruelty. LCA is a great organization changing for better the lives of humans and their interaction with animals.
I find this organization to be selfless in their pursuit of defending and protecting animals.
They are so careful with funds raised. Their overhead is small except for their investigations.
The principals (and staff) are totally dedicated and have been since their inception. One of
the very best of the best of the non-profits I support.
I like this non-profit very much, because I think they are doing a tremendous job advocating for animal rights and doing a very good job in changing the lives of those who cannot speak. I will continue to support this organization for the positive difference they make to the world.
Highly rated four star charity for rescuing animals in danger and raising awareness of all different kinds of ways that animals are abused and exploited. Animals have an amazing team on their side. I found their website a couple of months ago and was so impressed with the accomplishments of the founder (Chris DeRose) in over three decades, and everything he has done in the name of love and compassion for the voiceless. He is a great inspiration to me and so is LCA whether it's putting an end to animal experiments or fighting for the freedom of abused circus animals they get involved in everything that in involves animals needing help because it all matters whether people realize it or not. They have an excellent reputation in responsible spending and I'm happy to donate to them every chance I get. Thank you LCA for everything you do for animals!!!!!
I value LCA's work saving animals, including:
- Exposing the Cruelty of Animal Testing
- Stopping the Dog Meat Trade
- Bringing an End to Circus Cruelty
Last Chance for Animals is an excellent organization. They have helped countless animals, and have been a caring voice for those who have none.
I appreciate your international efforts to really rescue Animals: Wild & Domeciled. You're not recycling Animals for a fee; you're rescuing Animals in desperate need of rescue.
The best non profit organisation helping animals...we need more of these type of organizations for animals in more parts of the world..for instance in India, where animal cruelty has become a habit...people should be punished severely for treating animals with disrespect..they should be ashamed of themselves...we should be there for animals as they are the most loyal creatures than us...why do they go through these types of cruelty...? People should respect animals..that is the law...I think a time will come where humanity like this will be wiped out soon..
Is there anything more deplorable than a used and abused, helpless animal? Whether it is a dog, cat, wildlife or some other species, these creatures can't speak for themselves at public meetings, make no campaign contributions to politicians and have no ability to tell us what has happened to them or what they need. Those who seek to exploit them for sadism, profit or supposed 'sport" take advantage of the most helpless creatures among us. . .even more so than children, mentally-challenged humans or the uneducated people.
I discovered the wonderful nonprofit group of "last chance of animals" because I wanted to donate to help end the dog meat trade in china(awful) and animal testing. I did some research and came across this nonprofit and haven't been disappointed by the gains made.
One of the best animal charities I can think of - they put so much on the line to save exploited animals and to expose those who cause their pain and suffering. They fight tirelessly to put an end to all animal suffering. Great charity!
I have supported LCA for years and admire their passion and ability to get the job done!! They go above and beyond for our four legged friends! They inspired me to start my own animal sanctuary here in Texas. I am officially Texas Heartland Animal Sanctuary, thanks in part to Chris and his amazing team!! FOR THE ANIMALS!!!
I have been a fan of Last Chance for Animals for over two decades and when it came time that we needed help in New Jersey because of a pet store puppy mill issue they were who I called. They not only sent investigators but helped us put some very nasty people out of business. Since 2004 my rescue group Adopt A Pet, Inc and LCA have co-sponsored Puppy Mill Awareness Events. Couldn't ask for a better group.
Previous Stories
I have been working with and following LCA for well over 20 years. They are by far the go to group if you want something done for the animals. They have been at the forefront of the fight against puppy mills and worked with us to bring the very first Puppy Mill Awareness Day to Pennsylvania, It is now a yearly national event.
Wow!I never noticed or heard before of any abuse of animals until change.org brought my attention, of the cruelty animals suffer in this world. Its totally unreal.
This nonprofit organization is the greatest voice for animals. They investigate all avenues of animal abuse. I would hate to think where animals would be without this group advocating for them.
God bless these people and all the work they do to help animals!! They never quit! They keep going and going... Animals are blessed to have LCA in their corner!
Last Chance for Animals and my hero Chris DERose has been saving animals and changing laws for more than 30 years. They deserve more than five stars.
Marlene Goodman
Can not express enough of how much work they put into help animals and to get justice for them and to end the torture of animals
LAST CHANCE FOR ANIMALS IS DOING AMAZING WORK, SAVING ANIMAL LIVES IMPROVING ANIMAL LOVES AND EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ABOUT ANIMAL WELFARE. I LOVE LCA AND THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR AMAZING WORK
I went looking for a group that I could sponsor that would work on the Yulin dog meat trade, and found that Last Chance for Animals does a lot in that area, including educating the local population. Charity Navigator gives them a 5 star rating for the way they administrate the money and work, including the percentage that actually gets used to help the animals. Plus they do a lot of the projects for other animal cruelty areas, like circuses, pet overpopulation, etc. I support them regularly, and will continue as long as I can verify that they are using money well, and having success.
This animal welfare organization has been on my donation giving list for many decades! I've read about how much has been uncovered & done by them that the list can keep on going non stop!! I recommend it to all who I meet. They have been there for the most devastated
in need , most vulnerable souls in agri-farming, circus cruelty, horse cruelty of all kinds, puppy mill horrors, research, hoarding, rodeos, crushing, and the list continues again. They deserve all the help & awards on the face of this earth. This work is devastatingly depressing to their soul, too. They do not encounter the routing stuff, but the most awful, evil attitudes one can imaging coming from people w/no common sense/respect to our innocent animals on this earth! Big Kuddos to you, LCA! I THANK YOU in the biggest way there is.
Last Chance For Animals is definitely one of the VERY BEST Humane / Animal Welfare / Animal Rights organizations out there! They have been working against the worst animal abusers for many, many years and are well-respected among their "peers."
Donate to Last Chance For Animals and include them in your estate planning with total confidence in their ability to make the most of your donations.
I first learned about Chris DeRose and Last Chance for Animals (LCA) in 1988 when I read an article in the LA Times (I believe? Might have been The Daily News) about actions he took to expose the elephant abuse at the San Diego Zoo.
Since then I have supported Last Chance for Animals. They boldly go undercover to expose abuses of animals and have successfully stop criminals from continuing their immoral atrocities against animals.
LCA is frugal with donation dollars and gets a big bang for every buck they receive to stop animal abuse all around the world. My only disappointment is that I don't have unlimited funds to donate to expand the work of LCA even further. LCA is a top-notch advocate for our innocent, voiceless, fellow creatures.
Last Chance for Animals is an incredible organization. I've learned so much from them over the years, about the horrors of animal cruelty throughout the world. Without the amazing and heartbreaking undercover work they do, the rest of the world would have no idea and nothing would ever change. I'm grateful for the investigators and can't even imagine the PTSD they must suffer as a result. I know that I couldn't do it, and I'm a very strong person. However, I will do whatever I can to help spread the word and be an ally in every way possible. Thank you, Last Chance for Animals! You are TRUE HEROES!!!
They have enacted a combination of outreach and direct action into their advocacy to protect animals. I have been impressed with the work that Last Chance for Animals does and highly recommend them as a TOP NOTCH non-profit.
I sign petitions DAILY from this organization, as my way to show my support and passion for ALL ANIMALS. As I have been unemployed for the last 5 years, I am unable to donate funds, so, by signing their petitions to help animals in need, I feel my VOICE is being heard.
I am a huge fan of this non-profit. They do so much for so many animals. Thank God for people like them.
The commitment of LCA to animal welfare is absolutely impressive. I am proud to support this trustworthy organization that has the audacity do what is right going beyond boundaries to protect our beautiful and kind hearted animals that only deserve the best. Even though it may be sad at times to learn about more atrocities occurring, the shared compassion for the respect of animals brings a great sense of community. I find that being part of the successful efforts of LCA to be very rewarding.

wonderful organization! the rescue stories are incredible. though heartbreaking ,it is a wonderful thing to know that someone cares and is able and willing to help. I wish we all could do more . I am on a fixed income but I still want to help and I am glad for such hope.
LCFA are inspirational. This group is dedicated and wide ranging in their concerns. I regret I don't have time to research detailed examples but my strong impression overall is that animals stand a much better chance of surviving and being treated better because of LCFA's efforts on their behalf (and humans stand a much better chance of seeing the error of their ways in relation to animals too).
Amazing charity diverse in their causes they are non top-admin heavy and I always feel my money goes to the animals and not to bloated Executive pay-checks!
I like donating to charities/organizations in which majority of each dollar goes toward helping and saving animals. I like LCA because I believe they do their best to help as many animals as possible and deserve to be recognized for their compassion for ALL animals.
I have followed LCA for years and they are the best group of animal lovers doing great for the animals in the Hollywood public eye. GREAT WORK KEEP IT UP!!
They do wonderful work rescuing and advocating for animals. There is nothing more important than this type of vocation.
Helps animals in need and the best thing anyone could do is help an animal. Last chance for animals spreads news about animals in need and helps them in that way.
We should all be grateful that this organisation acts as the advocate and voice for animals in peril, usually because of the actions of our 'humane' society.
Thank you LCA for caring about the animals. It is great that there are groups like you to do the work that needs doing. Without you there would be so many more tears, not just from the animals but from the people who love animals. I hope you continue to receive all you need to continue your work. You are really appreciated.
This is a charity I trust!
It is so important to help animals: they are horrifically abused on a daily basis by otherwise good people, but also, helping animals helps humans. Factory farm work is dangerous, and the many illegal workers cannot complain for fear of deportation; animal agriculture is contributing to world hunger; kindness to animals encourages children to be better people.
LCA finds important causes and comes up with real solutions. They support all animals, not just those we call pets. I know my donations are used wisely, with widespread positive effect.
Since I became an advocate for animals in early 2015, I have been very interested in how organizations assist with animal welfare. The main issue that has drawn me to Last Chance for Animals is their ongoing, non-stop work in Asian countries, rescuing dogs & cats from the Dog Meat Trade. This awful trade sees dogs & cats slaughtered by the thousands, tortured while still alive, because they believe that the more brutal the treatment, the more tender the meat! It is an abomination! LCA needs to be commended for the work they do in saving these beautiful, innocent animals. I doubt that just anybody could do this type of work; it needs people who are dedicated, caring individuals. I believe that the people from LCA must be just that!
With a small staff they are doing wonders to help the animal kingdom and deserve to have more national attention than they currently get.
Last Chance for animals was one of the first American charities to bring to light the horrific brutality of the dog and cat meat trade in Asia and took steps to stop it. The value of their service in ending incomprehensible suffering is beyond measure.
Any non-profit that works to defend those living beings in need, that most humans don´t care about, is fantastic and a complete necessity in this world.
LCA did an article on the brutal and cruel methods that meat packing industries use to
kill rabbits for their meat No animal should be skinned alive etc. Last Chance For
Animals brought this cruelty to the public eyes. It is a nightmare and should be stopped!!
More needs to be done!! Ban the stores that sell rabbit meat from these industries
and tell them why........
Excellent organization fighting animal cruelty with proven success. Shutting down dog meat slaughterhouses in China, helping to get Ringling Bros to stop using elephants, and protecting endangered species are just a few highlights of what they have helped to accomplish.
Thank you friends for helping so many animals. Everyone is deeply in gratitude for your care and help for the animals. We hope we can encourage many to keep up the good work.
I support all people whom want to help animals. Being myself an animal lover, I admire the time and effort people put into this so difficult but rewarding job. In this pic you can see my rescued dog, he's the one black and white and I brought him all the way from Cancun.
LCA is courageous and bold. Chris DeRose and his team put themselves on the front lines of animal abuse and neglect all over the world. they bring awareness and exposure to cruelty cases - helping all of us to know what is going on so we can be involved in changing and taking action.
A lot of animals are in bad conditions and a lot of them got wrong treatment from people,
so we must help them.
Everything I can say is that everyone working for eradicating ANIMAL SUFFERING AND ANIMAL EXPLOITATION, have to be very conscious people deserving of all our belief, our devotion, our love and our our attention.
And everybody who chooses to pay attention to these people are Healthy Human Beings, Mature Human Beings, who deserve our Love and respect as well.
Thank you very much for all who see a bit further ahead and are courageous enough to follow their dreams and their expectations.
Never give up!
a great nonprofit charity working for the good! Keep up the amazing work , keep believing that we can stop cruelty x
Last Chance for Animals give it their all for the voiceless animals, who need us desperately. I have supported them for quite some time because I know they are a 'no nonsense' charity which does not squander its donations.
LCA has been at the leading edge of direct action on behalf of animals, and it was the organization that did the most to expose the business of B-dealers and pet theft to obtain animals that were then sold to laboratories and to push for the prosecution of pet-theft rings. Since then, they have expanded their operations to factory farms, circuses, and other businesses that profit from animal exploitation, yet it remains a relatively small and dedicated group. I like the fact that I know my contributions are going to help animals, not to pay for lavish offices and high salaries.
I cannot say enough about how much I value and respect the work LCA carry out saving animals from cruelty and captivity. Their tireless, courageous and selfless dedication should be applauded. Examples include their work to stop the dog meat trade in China and their campaigning against circus cruelty.
The members of this organisation are putting themselves out time and time again for all sorts of animals in distress and no job is too big or small for them to pull out all the stops, raising funds, composing petitions and scouting for potential volunteers to assist them.
I have great respect for LCA and support them whenever I can.
This charity speaks for itself, the most courageous people that I have ever witnessed, helping the most vulnerable of all, the poor defenceless animal that cannot speak or stand up for themselves, they are too be applauded and admired and most of all recognized for their outstanding work.
I adore animals, all of them, and feel a tremendous gratitude for organisations like yours helping animals in need and distress. These animals need a voice, and you are theirs. Thank you so much for your commitment and determination to make a difference in this world for the animals, and raise awareness about their treatment. You are doing a fabulous job.
This organization seems to be very passionate about what they are doing to help animals. We need more groups like these who are really doing things, not just paying lip service. Animals do not have a voice in the world, we are their only advocates. Kudos to LCA for continuing their great work.
This non-profit organisation is amazing for the work they do with animals. If it wasn't for organisation's like them so many animals would not be rescued and continue to live a life of neglect, pain and suffering. They need all the help they can get to continue their important work to save as many animals possible. Thank you for all the fantastic work you do.
I have been a supporter of LCA for many years. They are a wonderful charity that does so much for the welfare of animals. They speak for those that cannot speak for themselves. Thank you for all you do, LCA, to help these beautiful innocent creatures!!
Last Chance for Animals uses their collective voice and compassion, to speak up on behalf of animals around the world. LCA has shut down a dog slaughter house in China and cooperates with local authorities-which is always a smart idea. LCA have long protested for the end to wild animals being used in circuses. Their voice; among others, is surely the reason these awful spectacles are soon to be a relic of the past. LCA is also trying to help save Africa's Mountain gorillas, by aiding park rangers in Uganda, Rwanda and the Congo. LCA's support helps protect both the endangered gorillas and the rangers.
Please support the wonderful work of all those involved in Last Chance for Animals, they are doing incredible things in the face of the most terrible of circumstances.
I support LCA 100%. They are on the ground in places I can only imagine. The problem is I CAN imagine what life would be like for some of the animals if there was no help or no hope coming, All I can do is donate? The people who work for LCA, actually action and help stop some of the most horrendous crimes against animals, I as an individual cannot, in fact I dont think I have the guts, some of the things they must see would haunt my dreams for the rest of my days. But if all we can do is small things, then we must ALL do them, one day they will be huge. I can only hope.
This charity really goes beyond to help animals who suffer at the hands of abusive humans. I truly admire them and support their hard work every way I can, but much more is needed and hopefully they will be able to continue and make such admirable work for those who do not have a voice of their own, with more of us helping them!
I'm glad to see LCA involved in so many things to put an end to animal cruelty. I make it a point to read and sign all petitions made available to me. If I didn't use my extra money for dog fostering I would donate to all LCA causes. I pray they continue to aid in the prevention of animal suffering. I'm really satisfied that they keep me updated as this is very important to me. Keep up the efforts LCA!
All that I know is that it is a good organization which tries to help unprotected animals from cruelty of human. I often receive messages from them that contains information about animals in danger and asking for support. I hope they never stop helping.
I have been a supporter and charity provider to LCA for a very long time. They do great work and marvelous undercover work. Much is difficult to see and understand, but this is the beauty of this organization, they do it and they fight back against the cruelty, abuse, and disaster. Excellent organization!
I started to donate to LCA after viewing Dealing Dogs aired. LCA performs a valuable service to animals who are mistreated, tortured, neglected, and basically left to die by brutal people who have a very sick mind. LCA's undercover work regarding mistreated animals is wonderful, provides legal proof of animal abuse, and in my opinion is what set them apart from other animal charities. My wife an I are "fosters" for the San Diego Chihauhau Society and each dog has a "story" that would break your heart. I am proud to also be a supporter of Last Chance for Animals and am very proud of the work they do to alleviate the suffering of all animals.
I do not live in California but I have supported financially to this organization. It helps animals that are in need and tries to help them find a good home. I like that in an organization.
The work LCA is doing for Circus animals, especially elephants, exposing the dog meat trade in China, and on behalf of the mountain gorillas is exactly what is needed right now. Keep up the good work. You are speaking for many, many people who feel the same way. Thank you for your hard work and sticking to it.
Last Chance for Animals is an animal NGO that has created change and helped thousands of animals suffering at the hands of humans in factory farming, circuses, China's dog meat trade, endangered species and domestic abuse.
I have followed the work of Last Chance for Animals for many many years now. There are times when I there have been set backs and I think that animals on our planet don't have a change. Then the victories give me hope that one day animals will be protected and honored as they should be. Last chance for Animals is an organization that deserves all our support in the work that few of us can step up to do.
If any nonprofit deserves financial assistance, this one is it. This organization does an amazing job helping animals...I can't stress enough how valuable their work is.
En aidant et en tentant de sauver les animaux victimes de la barbarie de l'Homme, LCA lui rend finalement un peu de sa dignité et on doit l'en remercier. Dominer par la violence n'a jamais été une preuve de grandeur et de supériorité, bien au contraire. D'ailleurs, Gandhi ne disait-il pas : "On peut mesurer le degré de civilisation d'un peuple à la façon dont il traite ses animaux".
Merci sincèrement à LCA de son action pour tous les animaux qui souffrent. A force de faire ouvrir les yeux du monde, vous finirez bien par réussir à ouvrir son coeur.
I love everything that this organization does for animals. Some of the information is hard to look at and read - but that's why it matters. We have to face these things and make the situation better, rather than ignore it. This organization is wonderful and I applaud all that they do.
going above & beyond for our animals in need especially shutting down operations with the dog meat trade & helping stop circus performing animals
This organization is on the forefront for the voiceless! Our nations animals are crying silent tears each and every moment of their lives! We as a humane society can help ease their pain! We are their voice!
Last chance for Animals are strong advocates in this fight! They are a Godsend for our abused and homeless animals everywhere. Without Last Chance for Animals the fight to right the wrongs our furry friends face, cannot not be won! We need LC4 animals. More importantly the animals need them!
My family has donated to Last Chance For Animas for years and will continue to do so.
They are a most wonderful organization, worthy of praise.
The nonprofit has opened my eyes in so many ways. Not aware how horrible the inhumane acts are around the world but also in our own backyard. Without volunteers and groups who rally against people who have no respect for life, we as a society would not have the knowledge and current news on what is happening around us. I am so honored to take a few moments to write how ALL nonprofits help me stay educated and focused in helping all of GOD's animals around the World. I sign every petition that comes to me and will never stop until our WORLD changes for the good of all Animals & People.
Last Chance for Animals is a wonderful nonprofit organization that fights endlessly to be a voice for the voiceless. To stop abuse and the extinction of animals and also fight for those who work tireless to protect our wildlife. They help spread the word about issue that may otherwise go unnoticed .They uncover horrible tales of the Dog meat trade and things as close to home as the abuse in Circuses. As an animal lover I thank them from the bottom of my heart for taking a stand and putting in so much time and resources to protect the lives and increase the quality of living for all animals.
I'm glad to know that there are nonprofit associations like "Last Chance for Animals" that undertake to help animals to get their freedom and respect.
Last Chance for Animals is an amazing, compassionate organization that animals and people who care about them depend on.
I appreciate LCA for their hard work and dedication not only for animals but also for all over the world including human, which need peace in this world.
Thank you!!!
This organization is so great because they bring attention to so many important causes. Some of them, and I should say most of them are extremely hard to read about. Its so important for the world to see and hear about what goes on in the world, no matter how hard that truth is, it is a necessary truth. I love what LCA stands for and all the great work they have done and are still working to achieve.
I have lived with dogs and cats all my life...I have been lucky enough to have traveled and seen how other countries treat animals...I respect the wonderful work this organization has done and continues to do...thank you and of course keep it up.............
Greatly devoted to the well-being for animals. We must continue to support organizations such as LCA!
Their passion and commitment is heartwarming and inspiring. We all need organisations like this to help bring back some compassion to animals who need it most.
I admire the valuable work of Last Chance for Animals. They work for animals and communities with dedication and respect. Their approach is effective as they do undercover investigations and liaise with local authorities. Their fight to save mountain gorillas and animals from circuses is admirable as is their hard work against China's dog meat trade. And their approach when considering education is vital. I support their campaigns against animal cruelty and wish that they achieve many successes in saving animals.
Last chance for animals non profit organization has opened my eyes to how much these poor voiceless animals need our help and they have shown me what is going on in other countries they have brought much needed attention in regards to stopping animal abuse around the world.
My heart goes out to them for being just who they are, One of the most Awesome
non-profit organization out there.
This is a message for: Last chance for animals: Hello from Barcelona, your are doing an excellent work I hope that I will can give you more donations in the next future!! Thanks for fight the animal cause!!
Every year, as the news and social media reminds me that the time of the Yulin dog meat festival in China is approaching, I'm reminded also that LCA has been there all the time, working to end the dog meat industry. It seems that there's a lot of focus on dog meat and it's cruelty and that, in countries like China, Korea and the Philippines where the industry is an issue, a huge number of people oppose it. So every year I'm grateful to LCA for having increased the visibility of the problem and its opposition, and for bringing it closer to an end, which can't come too soon.
There is so much power behind all of us signing, that change is made every day, usually for the better. But there is still so much to do, so please don't stop signing petitions and sharing them with your friends.
I've followed Last Chance for Animals for some time now and I just thank heaven that Natures' animal world has people and non profit organizations like LCA for the protection from which they so often benefit.
It is so important that there are International organizations out there helping the less fortunate, of all types of animals, on land, sea and sky . There is so much abuse and torture in the world of animals, it is quite horrific . What some inhumane humans do is just unimaginable, without heart or compassion. But by these organizations, such as LCA, they let the world know of the abuse and try to find ways to help.
It is such a great work that i hope more and more people see it and help and try to alleviate the suffering of animals in a compassionate and humane way.
LCA are dedicated to fighting animal cruelty. They have worked tirelessly to stop the dog trade in China shutting down two dog meat slaughterhouses in the northern city of Changchun. LCA campaign against Ringliong Bros to stop using animals in circus acts and were a successful part of Ringling stopping their elephant act. And they work to help protect endangered mountain gorillas and the rangers who strive to protect them. When I feel sad about hat is happening to our planet and our fellow creatures I am lifted to know there are organisations like LCA who are working tirelessly to help make things better
LCA does a fantastic job for the beings on earth that are subjected to the will of mankind. They deserve this award.
Great, they keep you informed and up to date and although i can't do much, putting my name to their causes helps give voice to the animals.
LCA are a wonderful and committed group of people who I believe really do make a difference. They put themselves into horrendous places and situations in countries with very low tolerance for anyone advocating that animals deserve any compassion or kindness. They take personal risks to highlight the atrocities which occur. I have difficulty in both fully reading or viewing many of their reports, as they are so upsetting and feel the least I can do is donate when I can afford to. They don't waste your donation on paper mailing, "cute" toy gimmicks etc. I believe my money does help them to make a difference.
In this sad world for animals has LCA managed to bring light to me many times. Not to mention the animals they have saved, amazing work!
LCA is an organization that really exceeds their mission statement, because they are hands on, and successful fighting against the Dog Meat Trade which involves torture. Ending this brutal meat trade is my greatest advocacy cause ( and the Fur Trade ). These good people care about our animal friends and I appreciate knowing them. I see their advocacy endeavors reach out to other parts of the world, as well as issues here in the USA. In a world gone mad, I am comforted knowing such an organization exists. Through engagement, education and truth, this fine group is a voice for the voiceless.
Wonderful group of dedicated animal advocates who work tirelessly to protect our world's most innocent creatures.
WE all must do what we can to support any organisation who are working to protect our wildlife. Not just for us, but for future generations. Great nonprofits, are acting in the interest of our world heritage. Doing this without profit, shows their true dedication to the mammoth task they have taken on. Please show your support, and support them in any way you can. A world without wildlife, will be a very very sad world.
I have been donating to LCA for a while after seeing the wonderful work they do to help animals in so many ways. They are awesome. Especially for the work they did to help the elephants of Ringling Bros. They bring so much attention to so many important animal issues.
I deeply appreciate LCA activities. They manage to aware lots of people all around the world of horrific situation of animals as well as sharing beautiful and heartwarming experiences of saving & loving animals.
LCA is doing great work for the cause of animals by fighting for them and one of their biggest focus area is ending the DOG MEAT holocaust taking place in China. Our beloved companions, Dogs & Cats are brutally slaughtered and boiled alive and this has become a trade - A nefarious trade dangerous for those investigating & exposing the criminals and barbarians . This horrific trade has to end and for this, LCA requires funds. I support their cause and this noble objective.
I love what they do to protect animals! They know how to make a difference and get humane laws enacted.
LCA does a great job fighting animal cruelty and abuse. They even risk their lives to prevent animals from being tortured and killed. The latest example is their efforts to document and stop the cruel and senseless slaughter of thousands of cormorants by the federal government. The Feds are blaming the birds for the decline of salmon when its human behavior that is killing them (i.e. dams, overfishing, etc). LCA was out on the water with cameras in hand as feds in boats and with guns brutally slaughtered these poor animals. LCA saves lives and prevents cruelty!
I love the work LCA does. I follow their emails and I support them. They work hard to fight the dog meat trade, circus animal abuse and endangered mountain gorilla's, to name a few. Very worthy group.
As an animal rights activist for 30+ years, I thank God for Last Chance For Animal's boots-on-the-ground cruelty investigations resulting in desperately needed legislative changes for the protection of the many animals being heinously brutalized by society.
This is a wonderful charity, working across the world to help animals. I live in China and I first learnt about their work in China and Asia, which prompted me to donate. I'm so happy this charity is fighting for animals in many different situations all across the world. Keep up the amazing work!
Great organisation, well worth supporting. Shining a beacon of light in this dismal world for those who cannot speak for themselves.
Last chance for animals is really making a difference. They are active in so many places/actions at the same time and they actually change things to better!!
I, like so many other's who are concerned with the way our animals world wide are so cruelly abused and killed value LCA!! They are non-profit and depend on contributions. I so admire these beautiful people because they have a mission......to help our animals so that one day, all of them will feel safe and live freely as all animals should. God help all our animals and those wonderful people who are striving to make this world a better place for all the animals who have no voice but can feel! I am on a fixed income but I do what I can do and pray that those who can afford more, will help LCA accomplish their goal. Thank you LCA!
This organization is doing great things for so many animals and not just in the U.S. but around the world. The things they are doing are getting results worldwide. A very worthwhile organization.
Last Chance for Animals helps everyday to save defenseless creatures that suffer at the hands of so called human beings. Creatures that are wounded, starving, abused and only ask for some love, care and attention. For standing for them and for doing all that is possible and impossible to accomplish the daily mission of providing a better future for so many animals, LCA has my deepest appreaciation and my strongest support. God bless you!
I have been a supporting member of this wonderful and effective group since its founding many years ago. Principally, I was pleased that they took on the daunting and very difficult task of bring needed attention to the problems of "B ''Dealers and the unscrupulous manner in which men would 'get' dogs ( steal? from backyards et.al.,) and sell them to research laboratories as experimentation tools. Then they became more involved in the concerns of various stolen dog issues. Finding success after many hard years in almost eliminating these horrors, they moved on to many other vital animal rights issues. Always assertive and effective!!!
Last Chance for Animals is a fantastic non profit organisation that brings awareness to all issues around the world, great all small!
The awareness that they are able to provide to members of the general public like myself impact the way in which we think and can come together about these issues within the world!
I am extremely grateful for them continuing to open my eyes up to these issues and the work they do for animals which can't speak for themselves is incredible
I met Chris de Rose at a book signing 15 years ago and have supported him from that point on. He is fearless against cruelty and abuse against animals. Chris has fought in the trenches to support animals, and put himself in dangerous situations as a result. There is no better advocate for the animal kingdom than LCA because of their persistence and dedication to the cause of putting a stop to animal abuse. Anywhere in the world. The contributions go to the animals in need and not on expensive overheads.
I donate because I love animals big or small. Have three rescued dogs at home. Another was found on the streets, vet asked me to foster, but fell in love with him and is now part of the family.
Last Chance takes the risks nobody else is willing to take for the sake of any animals in need. They take on the issues everyone else wants to hide from and pretend are not happening. The lives they have changed for the better are countless. A remarkable organization.
This organization allows people to see the horrifying truth behind the many aspects of animal welfare and institutionalized animal cruelty. Thank you opening my eyes to the truth. Once you know the truth, you are compelled to act. Because of you I became a vegetarian.
My experience has been wonderful. I feel that Last Chance for Animals has true compassion for animals and is there, in both the good times and the bad. They have maintained a stellar reputation and are on the ground, trying to, and succeeding, in putting an end to animals in peril everywhere. They go to countries to do the grime work; taking videos, pictures, and making reports to allow the world to see what most wish they could turn away from and ignore. They are heroes. Their job is daunting, and devastating, in their endless and tireless fight to save the lives of animals and to educate people on the treatment of them, from inhumane, to humane. They are, in short, the life source of saving lives and improving the lives (not to mention the quality OF), and their work is crucial in the survival of animals worldwide. Five stars, all the way!
I actually had the pleasure of meeting Chris DeRose when he visited Australia as guest speaker at the Oscars Law Fundraiser and sat totally in awe of all that he to share about those that use and abuse animals for profit, greed, or simply because they can. The best thing is, I continue to be inspired on a daily basis for all that he does for the animals, and my life has become richer and far more compassionate because of him.
Thank you Chris and your amazing teams. ♥
I have given money to LCA for many years and so admire everything they do for animals. I wish there were more places like them. Thank you LCA - you are wonderful!!!
Last Chance For Animals shines a light for those creatures without a voice that need our help,compassion & empathy. We can never be too kind & we need to remain mindful of being humane always & upholding ethical standards & this is what LCFA stands for I believe.
They are trying to end the evil dog meat trade is Asia and Europe . they do amazing work for all animals in need. Many animals would not have a better life it it wasn't for LCA. keep up the greta work
This nonprofit is awesome, they actually do something as opposed to just talking about it and collecting money. Chris has a great thing going and hopefully will never stop!!!
Last Chance for Animals does everything possible to attract attention to critically at risk animals all over the world and their plight. LCA routinely devotes funds to supply equipment to protect animals, as well as working with local and national law enforcement officials to implement and enforce laws to protect animals. LCA keeps the public up to date with current actions and advises ways for caring people to assist in their efforts.
Last Chance for Animals puts their money where their mouth is, if you will. I am always shocked and saddened by the cruelty I see in this world toward the defenseless. Unfortunately, in our society, animal abusers are able to keep repeating their crimes with little more to worry about besides fines if caught. LCA works to strengthen laws against animal cruelty and have been instrumental in changing laws that affect offenders and deliver harsher punishments. We must have laws to back up our strong beliefs that abusers must pay for their crimes. LCA is a voice for the animals and those who share the belief that they must be protected.
This is a wonderful organization that helps animals all over the world, demonstrating outside circuses, helping to shut down China's cruel dog meat trade and working with park rangers in Uganda to stop poachers.
I find Last Chance for Animals work selfless and completely inspiring. Causes that take years
for an impact and would discourage most organizations only inspire them not to give up. Their accomplishments in the animal rights movements are amazing
Honest, trustworthy, committed to exposing the truth with integrity. Staff are professional and passionate about their work and are driven to successfully bring positive change to the lives of animals worldwide.
LCA works tirelessly to expose and stop animal cruelty. Chris DeRose and the rest of the staff are dedicated, selfless people who deserve recognition for their work in making the world a better place for animals and humans.
No tengo ninguna duda de la excelencia laboral de esta organización y de los motivos que la impulsan: la defensa integral de los derechos animales! También se que nadie hace lo que no siente y que los sentimientos honestos del amor por la animalidad son privativos de cada ser humano. Recuerdo siempre aquella sentencia de Jiddu Krisnamhurti cuando lo interrogaron, acerca de su mayor anhelo: "convertirme en un animal perfecto" y adhiero integralmente. Saludo a LCA con mis mayores respetos y los insto a perseverar en la senda actual. Abrazo grande de Jorge (Buenos Aires-Argentina)
Won me over several years ago with the story of a poor dog that suffered terribly in a laboratory. The really dig into animal cruelty, and reveal things that sometimes I can't even get myself to read. A dedicated organization.
LDA - Last Chance for Animals is such a dedicated organization for the welfare and rights of all animals that I feel they are deserving of any and all awards out there - I am so thankful to them for their work for example with the China dog meat trade - China and their barbarians people are torturing dogs, skinning them alive, boiling them alive, sticking spears through one end and out their mouth to burn them - it is so awful and thank goodness LCA is doing all in their power to stop these Barbarians. They are right there to help ban the use of animals in the circus's, ban the poachers from killing elephants for their ivory - helping gorillas - All in all, this is a great organization and I hope they will be recognized for all their efforts in helping all animals in danger!
I want to help all animals in the world. As I can't on my own, I rely on organisations like Last Chance for Animals to help out!
I want LCA to get a GreatNonprofits Top-Rated Award!!!
They work hard to rescue animals in need. Visit their website and see what they have accomplished. I am glad this organization exist and I support them.

I have never seen a charitable organization more dedicated to its cause than LCA. The staff, and especially its founder, Chris DeRose, are relentless in their fight to protect abused animals. If you care about animals, there is no organization existing where your donation dollars and time will do more good.
LCA is an organization that works tirelessly for the mistreated, abused, neglected, endangered animals that need help. Their efforts reach a local and global scale that range from helping to retire elephants and other animals from being used as entertainment; raising awareness about the dog meat trade in China and mobilizing to end this sick tradition to lending support to protect endangered Africa’s mountain gorilla and the safety of the rangers. They also work to ban the atrocities of puppy mills, live animal export, ag gag laws, fur, foie gras, the Gadhimai Festival (the world's largest sacrifice) I donate monthly because LCA gives animals a voice by working to overturn ineffective policies and create new ones for animal safety, getting the word out for people to get involved and stand up against these injustices and because they’re passionate to give animals a better life.
Last Chance for Animals (LCA) organization puts a valiant effort into saving our animals on this planet that are usually ignored or forgotten. Their never-ending work to help animals has inspired me to do more in my own community. I donate to local animal shelters and I spend my money on any organization that donates to helping animals. I will always have a place in my heart for LCA and other organizations like it.
i have been involved in animal rescue and advocacy for over 40 years. I have watched Last Chance for Animals step in when others won't. Their efforts in numerous areas where animals are being abused or slaughtered has produced great results - results which can expand with support and funding.
Last Chance for Animals has helped so many animals survive when it seemed hopeless. Their caring, compassion, and tireless efforts are the reason I have donated to them for years. Thank you for all you do for these precious creatures.
I always support organization that protect animals from neglect, abused and slaughtered this is one of the organization that is nonprofit. Will support them as long as I am able to.
Always putting the animals first and information gets out to the public so we can help support such great causes!
This is a wonderful charity. Not only are they dedicated but their work actually makes a difference. I know when I donate to them, my money is going to help animals causes that I care deeply about and not to ridiculously high administrative fees.
If more people in this world would do half as much as Chris De Rose has done in the last 20+ years for the animals ,exposing the horrific cruelties, rescuing of thousands of animals, putting himself in harms way for the rescuing and safety of animals,fundraising , exposing those horrific individuals who murder, steal, beat, slaughter, etc. animals, exposing the holacaust of factory farming, the horrors circus animals endure, the cruelties of rodeos, the fraudulant business of animal research, etc. Last Chance for Animals should be televised and viewed every day. It should also be in the press. People then, may not continue to turn their backs on what the animals endure every day of their sad lives!
Last Chance for Animals is just that. When animals have no one in their corner LCA rushes in. They help ALL animals: wild, farm and pets. I have followed this charity and seen the good they do for all animals.
I luckily got invited to an annual LCA event from a client and it certainly changed my life forever as I'm now a vegan and animal activitst. Before attending the event I didn't look into all the terrible things that were happening to animals but LCA described their successes and areas where work was still needed and it showed me just how much animals need our help. Chris and the entire LCA crew are so devoted to saving animals and have really had some amazing successes. There is so much work to be done but I know that LCA will do all that they can in the fight.
I have seen this charity do many things to save many types of animals from the torture the often endure. They work all the time and are everywhere they can be. They use their funds to
assist in getting necessary supplies to transport the animals and medical supplies to treat them. That's just the tip of the iceberg. This charity is also highly rated by the Charity Navigator. I pledge my support to this non-profit organization and encourage you to .
I have found the team at Last Chance for Animals to be 100% committed to the welfare and wellbeing of animals in need. The members of this group consistently go above and beyond to do whatever it takes to rescue and provide for animals in dire situations. Aside from their work in the U.S., Last Chance for Animals is on the ground in foreign countries like China where they have team members on the ground working to shut down illegal dog meat slaughter houses.
Last Chance for Animals gets the latest information and goes after rescues quickly. The website posts the most current situations occurring in harm to animals and rescuing to spreading the word. They most definitely include the successes accomplished and victories won in the court systems, also. They are by far, one of the most effective animals rights and rescue organizations globally. Without this organization many animals would suffer or never rescued and living their lives in sanctuaries.
Chris doesn't give up. We've given to several charities for years, some more dedicated flashbacks others but none are more accomplished than De Rose & none more inspiring
I have never seen an organization so devoted to the health and welfare of each and every living creature. I could not fathom working undercover to expose such horrific animal cruelty. The composure one must have to carry on as one of the workers during these heinous acts of cruelty must take every fiber of their being . these volunteers are not only heroic, they are brave and dedicated. God bless them for their tireless efforts and the great strides they have made in the lives of animals everywhere. The lives of these animals are so much better because of the work of this organization.
Have not had the opportunity to visit LCA but have been a contributor for a number of years. The care and help they provide to animals is fantastic. If I were younger I would be a volunteer . I love all animals and am horrified at the treatment some of them receive. I pray that one day there will be no abused or homeless pets. Until then we need more shelters like LCA and less shelters that have no problem in killing what they consider unwanted animals. God created man - a perfect machine. God created animals - pure beauty and love - poetry in motion. Thank God he created some like those at LCA to care and protect his beauty and love of animals
