What a fast a furious 6months it's been for our new little rescue!
We hit the ground running and built a brand new organization from the roots up in just a matter of a few weeks with just a handful of volunteers! From filing for a Non-Profit charitable status and business licensing to creating this new page with almost 1000 followers! (Can we get a few more?π) to partnering with other rescue organizations and local businesses to build a wonderful support base of temporary fosters, transport drivers, food donations other supplies. We have been blessed by our community in so many ways as well, from "liking" and sharing our page and posts, to raising donations to adoptions and so much more!
We adopted out 17 dogs, transferred 5 to partner facilities who were all adopted out from there and assisted in providing food, vaccines and transport for several other strays/puppies.
We had $2479.35 in vet expenses which were kept low by utilizing the spay/neuter service through Okanogan Regional Humane and the generous donations to our account at Okanogan Valley Vet Clinic. We spent $1325.52 in utilities and initial business /office expenses
$1557 for our storage container and took in $9629.61 is cash donations via Venmo/PayPal, fundraisers, donation cans etc.
Some goals we have for the next 6 months is to get our current dogs adopted out ( we have 8 dogs ready for homes and 2 being cared for until they put on a healthy weight again). We plan to have regularly scheduled adoption event locations throughout the valley so our rescue families can get better access to meet our dogs. We would like to see our volunteer team grow! There are only 6 of us who do the daily grind of managing the rescue (managing messages/calls, appointments, transport, transfer, social media, creating all the documents and organization forms, software programing and updating, intakes, adoption application review, potential foster home visits and more! Some of us foster as well so thats anothe
