Because the AHSR is a not for profit, all proceeds associated with adoption go right back into the rescue. These funds are used for the following purposes:
- Veterinary expenses: Many of the dogs (and mothers of puppies) come with issues from the pounds, breeders, etc. that they have been rescued from. Often, due to long-term neglect or abuse, these expenses can run into the $1,000’s of dollars for a single dog. In addition, all new dogs brought to the rescue are immediately vetted to ensure the entire group within the rescue remains healthy and happy.
- Transportation costs: Most of the AHSR fur family come from breeders as far away as Missouri, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. With fuel expenses on the rise, a significant portion of the rescues expenses are related to picking up and transporting the dogs to their forever home.
- Supplies: Not only is food an ongoing expense for a rescue, but there are expenses associated with dogs to keep them healthy and happy. For puppies, this includes puppy safe play pens, toys, and potty training pads. For older dogs, this might include transportation crates, bedding and grooming related expenses.
We welcome donations to the rescue to help defray these expenses and help keep these special fur friends healthy and happy as they find their way to a forever home. All donations are tax deductible and donation receipts are available upon request. Our primary donation vehicle is the PayPal Giving Fund:
We also accept donations at https://paypal.me/ahsrindy and via Venmo: @ahsrindy
