We Need Your Help!
As everyone is aware the world is in unrest. What once was a given, sometimes even taken for granted, is no more. Prices are soaring, people are out of work, being evicted and having to make choices to feed their animals or their families, or even to put gas in their cars to go to work to try to earn a living.
What does that have to do with rescue, you ask? Here is the answer. More people than ever are surrendering their pets to rescues. What happens when a rescue or the County shelter can’t take them? Many are just let go. Due to the rising costs of spay/neuter at veterinary clinics, many are unaltered and accidental litters are on the rise, overburdening shelters even more. How can you help in these tough times? Here are some ways to help.
Donate to Noah’s Vision Quest. Noah’s Ark has a low-income veterinary clinic and needs a new X-ray machine to continue to work at the level our community needs. 100% of every donation towards this goes directly to help our community.
Donate to the shelter. Every donation helps to feed and care for the dogs and cats aboard the Ark and provide medical care for them. Can’t donate?
Fundraise. Either on your own through work or special occasion activities or you can become part of our fund-raising committee. Help us to keep our mission going with our fund-raising activities. Can’t commit to a committee or fund raising?
Volunteer. We are trying to restructure our shelter to be more volunteer based – can you spare two hours a week to help us care for the dogs and cats aboard the Ark? Even walking them is a great help. Can’t volunteer?
Foster. Become a foster, short term or long term. Animals do so much better when in foster homes than in a brick-and-mortar shelter. Although we consider them to be one of our own and take the utmost care of them, we are not there 24/7. Can’t foster?
Gather. Gather the items on our wish list or needed items listed and bring them to the shelter. This helps to keep our costs down so we can help more dogs and cats. Can’t’ gather?
Spread the word of our needs. Someone you may know may be able to help us. You, and you alone, make the difference in how many dogs and cats we can help. Your generosity is all that makes our organization keep working tirelessly to help. If you are a past or present donor, we cannot thank you enough for everything you do.
We are but the wings, you, our community, are the air that makes us soar.
