Our rescue group is currently part of the Macy’s Shop for a Cause Charity Challenge that I talked about earlier on my blog. This time, I’m not asking you to contribute to my fundraising page.
What? Why not? I’ll explain.
First, I’m telling you that an amazing donor has offered to contribute up to $50,000 to the rescue’s main fundraiser page if that donation will move us into first place at the end of the challenge.
Why is our group so competitive?
Because Macy’s will award a $100,000 grant to the top fundraiser!
Why is our group so greedy?
It’s not greed. It’s the means for dogs like my foster Omar and cats like those you see writing Pet Prose on this blog to be pulled from Houston’s kill shelters and get into traveling shape. It takes a lot of time, energy, and yes, MONEY, to make this happen. Our board members are unpaid. Our paid staff is kept lean and efficient so that donations can go to animal care and transport.
THANK YOU from Omar and me. And by the way, Maddie was adopted. Hermosa was adopted. Every dog I’ve fostered who you met on my blog was adopted into forever homes after they traveled. It’s why I foster even when my heart breaks to say goodbye. It’s why I believe in our rescue group. Thank you for every time you’ve shown support for us and the work Tom and I do. You are magnificent friends to us and to animals.
