We are completely supported by your donations (and our own personal bank accounts). Every dollar you donate is used to help at-risk senior dogs. We’re a small enough rescue at this point that we’ll probably even be able to tell you exactly which dog your money helped and how. We can’t guarantee that will always be the case but right now we are very much a one-dog-at-a-time rescue and the dog that tugs at your heart strings and inspires you to donate is most likely the very same dog your dollars will help.
Every dog we meet is at a different point in their journey and will require varying levels of support as they prepare for their new life. On average it’s been costing us about $300 to save the life of a relatively healthy senior dog.
We have no paid staff and all donations directly benefit at-risk senior dogs. The more money we raise the more dogs we can help.
