Cash donations really help the rescues with expenses as they rescue animals in need which, barkingly pawsome, help humans too. Without me, my human would be absolutely crazy and even a bit strange, hee hee- woof! I am a living example of how great money donations benefit rescues.
Monthly cash donations are great too. As that helps the rescue to plan for future expenses with their rescues. One of my human volunteer friends noted that even a donation of $10 helps a dog or cat!
Other than that though- if you've ever wondered what the money is used for, barkingly, here's a list of just a few items which donations help support-
- Needed medications - $25
- Vaccinations to prevent life threatening illnesses - $50
- An initial veterinary exam and vaccinations- $100
- Spay or neuter - $250
- Treatment for deadly heartworm - $350
- Complete dental care for a neglected senior - $500
- Collars and leashes - $15 - $25
- Crates (Varies)
- the list goes on-
If you are not able to give financially, another way is to donate items on their wish lists which are often listed on the rescues websites. These items would include:
- Towels
- Rags
- Blankets
- Pillows / Dog Pillows
- Dog Food
- Dog Treats
Pawsome, another item you can donate, which is in need, is your time. You could foster, train, transport or help with many office skills.
While there are many rescues to support, here is an alphabetical list of the ones we support with photography and writing at "From the Dog's Paw!"
