Just like any other business, the Rescue Biz is reliant on a bottom line to help the front line march happily along. The PPI has been incredibly blessed with donations of all kinds, food, crates, blankets, collars, leashes, toys, time, transportation and, of course monetary.
Because The PPI supports a variety of rescues, we will often cross post events in an effort to drive interest and attendance for the fundraising activities of our partner not for profit organizations. Fundraising initiatives and events are held by most every rescue group in order to support the base costs of rescuing animals.
When an animal is rescued, their first visit is usually to a vet for a thorough check up amongst other treatments. Unless the animal has been surrendered by its owner (we don’t judge here, we help) the animal has most likely lived its life in the great outdoors. With no real shelter to speak of and on a diet of whatever scraps they can eke out, the condition of a rescued animal can be rather shocking.

While there are many vets that donate their time and services to rescues, they obviously have to charge for the bulk of the services rendered. On entry into rescue, a vet exam is conducted to get an overall snapshot of the animal's health and ascertain existing conditions. Some common ailments are mange, worms and, lack of proper diet. In extreme cases breaks may need to be set and sometimes surgeries are required in emergency situations.
If you are the parent of a fur baby, you have a complete understanding of how easily the bills can rack up to keep an animal in good health. Add in the cost of transport, pet food, collar, leash, crate, etc and, soon enough the ticker tape of expenses can become overwhelming for rescues caring for multiple animals.

Note: rescue fosters provide a safe home environment for rescue animals out of the goodness of their hearts and do not receive financial compensation. Funds raised or donated and adoption fees go directly to the health and welfare of the rescued animals.
Every rescue with a Facebook or web page will usually have a donations page or button which enables concerned citizens to fund certain causes or specific animals. If you have the financial capacity, you may wish to set up a monthly donation with your favorite rescue. When a rescue is registered as a charitable organization it allows that rescue to issue tax receipts for monetary donations over a specified amount, usually $20. If you require a tax receipt for your donation please make sure to ask a clarifying question before making your donation!!
Examples of some fun fundraisers that rescues host in order to pay down vet bills or fill up the pet food pantry are:
