How Are Donations Used?

It means the world to us that you’ve decided to open your hearts to the dogs. We are always striving to do more for the homeless dogs and in our community, and part of that effort is being very careful with donated funds. The least we can do in return for your generosity is to maximize the effect that donated resources can have on the lives and welfare of the animals we save.

40% of the donations are used to pay veterinarians.

30% is used for housing, feeding and caring for the dogs.

30% of the donations go to rescue dogs that go to other rescues.   This way, in the long run,  your donations will go towards saving 100’s of dogs.

0% Goes to pay anyone.  We are 100% volunteer.  This is NOT how I make my living.   I feel blessed to be able to have 100% of your donations support the saving of lives.

Most of my rescue will always be funded by my personal money.  If I won’t risk personally, why should I ask others to do so?  Your donations allow me to save more dogs and that way we all win.

What is a Foster Home?

A foster home is a temporary living situation for pets in our program while they are awaiting placement in a permanent home. Foster families provide shelter, food, care and love. The number of dogs we can save depends entirely on the number of people who open their homes and hearts to foster them.

Why Foster?

The only way that we can save these dogs is with the help of foster homes. Our puppies need to stay in foster until they are old enough to be spayed and neutered, at which time they are ready for adoption. Older pets who are ill or injured may need to stay in foster care until they are well enough for adoption.

In some cases, a foster home is needed to help an animal transition from the stress of having been abandoned at a shelter. For some dogs, they will need to stay in a foster home until they are adopted.

Being a pet foster family has rewards beyond the essential value of helping a pet in need find a new home. For some, it is a chance to have an animal companion without a lifetime commitment, or to try new companions for an existing pet. For others, it is the special challenge of helping an animal recover from an illness or injury, or to overcome a behavioral issue. Occasionally, it’s the joy of giving extra TLC to puppies too young to be adopted.
