All animals at Ruff Start Rescue are available for sponsorship. Our animal sponsorship program allows you to make a tax-deductible donation that will support one of our unique foster pets! Many of our rescued dogs and cats have veterinary expenses that exceed the cost of their adoption fees. Your contribution will assist in offsetting these expenditures and ensure that we continue to save more animals! Animal sponsorship directly supports the pet of your choosing. If you choose, we can send you updates on the animals you sponsor so you can learn about your impact firsthand!
If you would like to donate larger items, please email us at donations@ruffstartrescue.org, and we will arrange to meet you or give you a convenient drop-off location.
Please help support the animals in our care by donating your vehicle and receive a tax deduction in the process. Any vehicle, regardless of age or condition, is accepted. Ruff Start Rescue has teamed up with the 501c3 nonprofit CARS™ to make this process painless and straightforward for donors. Once your vehicle has been sold, a portion of the proceeds will go to our programs and services. Types of vehicles eligible for the program include:
Car
Truck
Boat
Motorcycle
Trailer
Motorhome or RV
Airplane
ATV
Watercraft
Snowmobile
Donate your vehicle by calling 855-500-7433 or completing this short online form. Representatives are available to assist you seven days a week and will even pick up your vehicle at no cost to you. Tax receipts will be supplied by CARS.
We encourage you to speak with your tax adviser to ensure you are completing the appropriate forms. Please view the IRS car donations guide to learn more.
