DONATE FUNDING
ARRF is a 501c3 organization and ALL volunteer. Our funding comes from donations, memberships, fundraisers, grants, and a small amount from the City of Leland. 100% of the donations are used to help these homeless animals in need. Donated funding is used to fully vet all dogs and puppies who come under our care. This care includes food, all vaccinations, spay/neuters, spay and neuter procedures, extensive worming, heart worm testing and treating as needed. The average cost for completely vetting all but very young puppies can be $250 – $350. If the dog is heart worm positive, the cost will double. 75 – 80% of all adult dogs, ages 1 year old and up, that come into the shelter have heartworm disease and require treatment. Funding is always desperately needed to continue the work of our organization.

As little as $5.00 can help us begin the process of vetting a dog or puppy.

If you would like to designate where you would like your donation to go, please specify either “Operational” for animal care or “Building Fund” for the building of the shelter. If you have no preference, your gift will be used where most needed. You may rest assured that 100% of your gift will go directly for the benefit of the animals.
