Since You Don’t Have a Physical Location, Where Can I Mail Donations?If you’d like to mail donations, please feel free to send to the address below. Please note, this is NOT a PPR facility, we simply accept donations at this address. If you have questions, please email us at Info@PoodleandPoochRescue.org
How Are My Donations Applied?Poodle and Pooch Rescue has no facility and no paid employees. We are a team of volunteers and all of our dogs live in our homes, like family, until they are adopted. That means that $.97 of each dollar goes directly to dog care, medical intervention, grooming, training, medications and high-quality food. We put our dogs first, and your donation will directly help save lives. With your donation, we have a team of volunteers that will collect all of the dog’s details and share their story with you. You’ll receive detailed updates on how your donation was applied, including photos and updates through adoption. To donate, click here
Is My Donation Tax Deductible?Yes! Poodle and Pooch Rescue is a non-profit, registered 501c3 organization. Our Federal Tax ID# is: 26-3448560. Please email us if you need a receipt at Info@PoodleandPoochRescue.org
How Much Are Your Adoption Donations?Our adoption donations vary, depending on health, age, breed and over all adoptability. Many of the dogs that we accept into our care are seniors and special needs cases, they tend to be costly and stay with us in care a bit longer. All of our dogs receive the best medical care available, they are groomed, vaccinated, spayed or neutered, microchipped, almost each dog in care has their teeth cleaned (most have pretty extensive dentals), they are all fed high-quality food and given whatever medical intervention they need – this includes blood work, urinalysis, diagnostics and a host of various surgical operations with specialists. We spare no expense when it comes to the care of our dogs. Every penny is spent responsibly, and we ask ourselves this question “If this were my dog, what would I do?” We care for and treat our PPR dogs like family. They deserve it and we see to it that they receive everything they need to be comfortable, healthy and well.
Why Are Your Donations Higher Than County Shelters?County shelters are funded by local taxes. County shelters employ their own vets, and therefore have no vetting costs. We, unfortunately, have to pay for all of the vetting our animals receive. While our vets do offer us a rescue discount, providing care for the senior and special needs dogs that we focus on can be quite costly. Fundraising and donations do help to offset some of these costs, but people adopt from Poodle and Pooch Rescue knowing that they are supporting a rescue that helps the dogs that others leave behind. We would LOVE if every dog from the shelter found a home and we had no dogs to rescue, but until that day comes, we will continue to help dogs in need.
