2. Where does the money go?
We are a 100% all volunteer rescue. Some of us have day jobs, some of us are retired, but this rescue is a labor of love for all of us. Since we have no physical shelter, we foster in our homes and adopt out at local pet stores and we can devote most of our money where it's really needed, to the animals' food and medical care. We've worked hard to negotiate discounts for just about everything - the less our costs, the more we can meet the medical bills to help out the the sick and injured animals that often come our way.
Here's where your dollar goes:
67% Veterinarian & Rx:
14% Vaccinations, other medical supplies, Microchips
12% Food and pet supplies
4% Transportation expenses
3% Office supplies, signs, photocopies, health records
