November 29th is GivingTuesday. It was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good and help others.
GivingTuesday falls on November 29th, four days after Black Friday and the day after Cyber Monday. We ask that if at all possible, you try to spend just a tiny bit less on those days, so that you can give a tiny bit to us. That’s all we ask… If we can get enough people to give us a small amount, we can get through this mess.
Each year we spend almost $20,000 feeding the dogs in our rescue who are waiting for their forever families. This doesn't include the medical and boarding costs the dogs in our care incur.
Each month, each dog costs the rescue approximately $35 a month or $420 a year to feed. That is over $20,000 a year spent on food for dogs in boarding alone. That doesn't even cover the cost of food for dogs in foster!
While we are eternally grateful to our generous supporters for helping us make it to our 15th year of saving lives, we have become sadly aware that our expenses are exceeding our donations. It’s a trend that we absolutely must reverse. Some might say we could save less dogs, but let’s be real...that’s not who we are. Our volunteers are too dedicated and our work is too important to move backwards.
We also know that some of you are struggling too, so if you're not in the position to donate, you can also help by sharing our campaign with others you think might want to help or even better, start your own fundraising campaign by clicking the button above that says “Fundraise for this Campaign.” It’s so simple.
We can't do this without you.
