It's late on a Wednesday night, and the phone rings. Two dogs found tied to a tree, half starved, and bad weather is coming. This is typically what happens when we get an emergency call. Urgent vet care, food, shelter, it all needs to be taken care.
Everyday costs like bleach, towels, laundry soap, food, kitty litter, etc... These are all things that we have to buy to keep our shelter up and running. While these things don't cost alot by themselves, we have to pay for them all. Everything adds up for a small charity like us.
We often help with families that cannot afford to pay for their Spay or Neuter surgery for their furry family members. Often we also cover routine vaccinations and other small medical costs for these pets and their humans.
Aside from vet costs, food is the primary cost for a small shelter. We can go through 300 pounds of dog food in one week. While our cat food is not quite as much, we can easily use 40 pounds of food per week. If we have to get special prescription food for a sick cat or dog, our food spend can increase 40% in one week.
