DonationsOur rescue is a non-profit and 501(c)(3) organization. We run strictly off donations. Some may ask "Why does a non-profit charge an adoption fee?" This is a common and understandable question. The answer is that the animals who come into our care are often coming from neglectful and unhealthy situations. Many are in desperate need of medical attention and those who arrive, even in fair health, are given physical evaluations by a veterinarian, most- if not all of their vaccinations (given age appropriateness) and spayed/neutered before they can be adopted out to ensure the health of our rescued animals. This does not include basic day-to-day needs and supplies (bedding, food, etc.), so we greatly appreciate additional non-monetary donations. Adoption fees go toward the needs and care of other and future animals in the rescue. As mentioned, while adoption fees help, they are not always enough to support the animals who are more critically in need. Such as severe neglect, abuse or sickness situations. For these, we reach out to the community for monetary donations. If you would like to help by donating funds to Halfway Home you can do so in whichever way is easiest for you. We provide receipts and donations do serve as a valid tax write off for yourself. Please note all monetary donations are solely used by and for the rescue.
You can also help by opening your home to our fuzzy friends. We are always looking for Foster Families to aid in the rehabilitation and re-homing of our rescued critters. Our goal is to have them acclimated to family living and exposing them to different things before they are adopted out, so they are ready for their new forever homes.

The rescue is always in need of various items that go toward the daily care of the animals. If you are not able to donate funds you can always donate the following items:
Any items that we have in excess do not go to waste. Halfway Home has an Open Pantry which provides supplies to families in need so that they are not forced to give up their furry family members in the event they are in a position that they can no longer care/provide for their pet until they are able to get back on their feet. |
