Ruff Start Rescue relies on the public’s generosity to continue doing our lifesaving work. RSR is committed to being good stewards of your donation – we are always looking for the most cost-effective way to get the animals in our care the supplies and medical care they need. For every dollar donated, 86 cents goes towards our mission to save animals in need and provide resources for people and pets.
By making a monthly gift, you allow Ruff Start to focus on our lifesaving work without constant worry that we won’t have enough resources to provide animals with the care they need. Monthly giving is also the easiest way for you to make the biggest impact – set up a gift one time and you’ll be helping animals every single month!
Planned giving is the process of donating planned gifts. A planned gift is a contribution that is arranged in the present and allocated at a future date. Commonly donated through a will or trust, planned gifts are most often granted once the donor has passed away.
Want to donate your birthday to Ruff Start? Or maybe you want to celebrate your pets’ gotcha day by raising money to help other animals in need? Doing a Facebook Fundraiser is a great way to engage your friends and family to support a cause you love!
We now accept donations of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. You can direct your gift through cryptoforcharity.io, which will allow you to make a tax-deductible gift of crypto that is converted to U.S. dollars and sent to us so we can put your gift to work helping animals in need.
