Y'all, I had to share this post from the incredible Pali Boucher of Rocket Dog Rescue because there couldn't be a more deserving, hard-working, super committed group saving and adopting out animals who need another chance at the life they deserve. Times are tough and everything is très cher, so please donate to RDR if you can! And if you're in the Bay Area/California, check out the sweet dogs they have available for adoption, or fostering. Thanks! ❤️🐾🐾
Times are uncertain.
Donations are low.
Shelters are in crisis.
Rescues are frayed at the edges.
We’ve all been hearing it.
But how does this look in real life?
It’s struggling to keep up with the skyrocketing veterinary expenses. Then paying off a huge bill, just to have an emergency dropped at our doorstep and the bill shoots back up again a week later.
It’s the need to constantly secure resources that were once easily accessible.
It’s increasing numbers of animals left out on the street if they are lost, have medical issues or if owners are forced to move.
It’s hundreds of calls for help daily that we can’t even get to.
It’s a real thing .. and we’re going through it.
And to be honest.. It’s been rough to keep things on track, steady and strong this past year; it’s dimming our glow.
But since lives are literally at stake, failure is not an option.
Our dedication is strong. Our team, steadfast and true.
We usually refrain from asking for donations every time we take a medical emergency case since it’s a LOT.
But friends - we have to keep our doors open and our bills paid. So, we gotta do it - we are 100% in fundraising mode!
Here’s the plan:
Instead of begging you all to donate on the daily, we will be hosting a series of fundraisers, some big, some smaller. Some online.
The exciting thing is, we throw great parties and we get to hang out in real life!
So here we are, shamelessly hitting you up for your skills and resources.
Do you have an event space, or want to host a fancy house party? Or if you have fundraising expertise - reach out to us!
Do you have anything to donate to our silent auctions ? Art, get aways, salon certificates, dinners, animal supply baskets , jewelry, hotel stays, dog walking services, fancy in-home chef experience, anything cool or unique? We need it!
Every bit of effort to help, every contribution received, will go directly towards keeping our doors open, our hearts shining, and will enable us to do what we do best, save lives!
Please email [email protected] or text 415-756-8188, if you can help with any of the above.
