DONATE FOR AN INDIVIDUAL CASE OR DIRECT YOUR DONATION TO COVER THE AREAS OF GREATEST NEED.
Donation 1
We receive daily messages about pets in need; sick, injured, abused and/or abandoned. With your donation we will be able to raise the necessary funds to help them have a decent life as they deserve. Help us to help!
VACCINATION
Donation 2: $ 25
All our pets, once they enter in one of our Programs , must be vaccinated against the main infectious diseases. Once the pet is at least 8 weeks old, it must be vaccinated against: distemper, infectious canine hepatitis, leptospirosis, parvo virus and parainfluenza (known as Dhlpp). If the pet is over 12 weeks (3 months), it must be vaccinated against rabies. Average cost of a single vaccine is $ 12 at low cost, all of the necessary vaccinations range from $ 25 to $ 30.
SPONSOR THE SPAY/NEUTER OF A DOG
Donation 3: $60
As a mission we want to reduce overpopulation and possible abandonment of pets. Spaying and neutering is the best option to avoid unwanted litters. Likewise, as a requirement for local adoption and / or travel, all pets older than 5 months must have undergone surgery. This process can be performed on any dog from 2 months of age, during heat or pregnancy (the latter 2 with additional charges). SPAYING AND NEUTERING also improves pet health by reducing the risk of breast cancer, testicles and other preventable conditions. Average cost of a sterilization cost over $ 60 per pet. Female surgery is usually more expensive than male surgery.
Donation 4: $ 40
A cat colony is a group of felines that coexist in an urban or rural space. Many times these colonies are visualized as a nest of diseases and dirt but the truth is that it does not have to be this way. TNR (Trap-Neuter-Release) is a legal and humane practice that helps control cat colonies, a species that can reproduce from 5 months of age and every 3 months. The practice is to trap, spay / neuter (3-year-old rabies vaccine is administered) and then release in the same space. The cost to make this service possible is $ 40, includes spay/neuter, rabies vaccination, tattoo near the genital area and a small cut on the left ear to identify the cat as sterilized.
SPONSOR THE TNR
OF A CAT
Donation 4 $60
A cat colony is a group of felines that live together in an urban or rural space. These colonies are often seen as a nest of diseases and filth, but the truth is that it doesn't have to be that way. TNR (Trap-Neuter-Release) is a legal and humane practice that helps control cat colonies, a species that can reproduce from 5 months of age and every 3 months. The practice consists of trapping, sterilizing/castrating (a rabies vaccine is administered for 3 years) and then releasing the cat in the same space. The cost to make this service possible is $60, which includes sterilization, rabies vaccine, tattoo near the genital area and a small cut on the left ear to identify it as sterilized.
MATERNAL AND / OR ORPHAN PET CARE
Donation 5: $ 75
Unfortunately, large numbers of pets are abandoned on our streets in heat, pregnant or with puppies. These mothers suffer a great physical deterioration since they have litters of between 2 and 11 puppies without the necessary prenatal care. Malnutrition, hemorrhages and other diseases are just a few of what these mother face with their puppies on the streets. An average vet visit and medication ranges from $ 75 to $ 145 depending on the severity of the case.
​
Orphan pets are one of the most defenseless creatures. The situation is heartbreaking. The recovery of a newborn pet without its mother is a challenge because it involves replacing milk and the care that the mother usually gives. Buying breast milk is one of the most essential things when helping as well as feeding them at least every 2 hours. These pets require 24 hour care for at least 4 weeks.
​
PET WITH MEDICAL CONDITION
Donation 6: $ 250
Although we don't usually treat serious cases, we do have pets with special needs. Leg amputations are the most frequent results of car accidents for stray dogs. Likewise, pets are treated for ehrlichia, tick-borne disease, heart worm disease and other conditions.
RESCUE OF PETS IN CRISIS
Donation 7: $ 150
The cases of pets in crisis are the most urgent. It is crucial to act quickly. Abandonment inside abandoned residences, confinement in cages and physical abuse are some of the emergencies to attend. These cases involve contacting rescuers, veterinarians, and sometimes the police. Your donation will help make the rehabilitation of a pet in crisis possible.
CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
CONSTRUCTION OF A TEMPORARY PET REHABILITATION CENTER
Donation 10: $ 1,500 ($ 100 share)
Enable a space according to the needs of size and number of pets within an impacted community where pets can be rehabilitated in a set period of time.
PURCHASE OF VEHICLE WITH INTEGRATED SERVICES
Donativo 11: $20,000 (share $1,000)
A vehicle where we can offer quick response services to stray pets without the need to move them outside of their community. Sterilization, vaccination, deworming, nail trimming, bathing, trimming and basic evaluations can be carried out in this Hope on Wheels.
CONTAINER FOR WATER AND / OR FOOD
Donation: $5
A plate of food is necessary to feed our recovering pets. Many of these are used to eat on the ground so a plastic plate could be confused with a toy, we prefer stainless steel dishes because they are more durable and their surfaces allow them to be cleaned better to prevent the spread of diseases.
VETERINARY SERVICES
Donation 17: $ 3,000 ($ 100 share)
Every helped pet receives the veterinary attention needed. Most of the time there isn't enough money to settle the accounts for the services received. For this reason, many rescuers incur in high debts in clinics where they bring pets to receive services. Credit cards and personal loans lead many to bankruptcy, making it impossible to rescue and care for hundreds of pets.
AIRFARE
Donation 19 : $ 100
About 60% of our pets travel to the United States waiting to be responsibly adopted. Air transportation costs must be covered at the time the trip is scheduled. Sometimes we are asked for a contribution, sometimes we are asked to pay the full amount that varies between $60 and $175 per pet traveled. The main destinations are Florida, Virginia and New Jersey.
DRUGS TO TREAT
Donation 23: $ 22
Many of the helped pets suffer from chronic diseases, some are treatable, others are not. Sarcoptic mange, parasites of the heart and ehrlichiosis are some of the conditions that with the right medication the pet can be saved. Help us save a pet with a chronic condition!
KENNELS AND CAGES
Donation 24: $ 65
Responsibly and safely transporting our pets to their veterinary appointments, foster care, and travel is our priority. Kennels are necessary to transport up to two pets of the same size on air travel. Cages or crates are very useful when caring for litters. * The equipment is not required to be new.
