Donate to Animal Rescue Project
Animal Rescue Project is a non-profit pet rescue organization. You can help the dogs and cats in our care with donations of cash and goods.
Financial contributions
We are a non-profit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) charitable status.
We appreciate cash donations of any size, and they all help the pets in our care. When you make an unrestricted or undesignated donation, you trust us to use your gift in the areas most in need of support. We also welcome designated or restricted gifts, where you specify the target expenditure. For example, you may wish to have your gift go to dogs or cats, or to dog medical care or cat medical care.
Whatever the nature of your gift, you will have the assurance that your support will be used directly to help animals in need. More than 95 cents of every donated dollar goes directly to our mission of saving, rehabilitating, and adopting homeless pets: rescue fees, veterinary fees, shelter expenses, shelter staff salaries, pet food and medication, and adoption event fees. Less than five cents of every dollar is used for indirect costs, such as office and advertising expenses.
