Rescue Leaf is a non-profit project that aims to utilize legal sales of cannabis and related edibles to deliver continual sustainable funding in support of the next generation of innovative animal sheltering programs while helping BOTH people and pets!
Rescue Leaf will be partnering with cannabis farmers and producers of related edibles to offer the best cannabis products in our Rescue Leaf retail locations, serving legal recreational and medicinal cannabis use.
This crowdfunding campaign aims to bring together 5 groups of people who have never been called together before to create a large scale positive impact for both people and pets:
- Those who support the legal use of cannabis
- Those who support delivering progressive animal sheltering solutions for the next generation of animal shelters
- Those who wish to increase animal therapy and service dog options for children and adults in need
- Those who wish to increase local employment options through new job training and placement opportunities and
- Those who wish to help reduce recidivism in non-violent offenders in America and improve recovery.
Rescue Leaf revenue will be utilized to fund high impact projects across the country including:
- 2 new animal shelter models by New Mexico Pets Alive/NextGen Shelter Project (this project’s 501c3 organization) that increase health, welfare, humane comfortable animal housing and adoption rates while reducing ongoing stress of homeless animals entering and residing in animal intake facilities.
- Many other innovative animal shelter and rescue group programs across the United States.
- Matching and training appropriate shelter dog candidates for therapy and service dog work to better meet the needs of children and adults in need.
- Job training programs including retail, marketing, management, hospitality/restaurant management, animal care and dog training. We will give 1st hiring priority to those who have completed our job training programs but we will also fund a job placement office to expand options for those who have completed our job training programs.
- Meaningful educational, job training and therapy programs to help reduce recidivism in every city where our projects are located. We did a small pilot program with the New Mexico Corrections Dept and it was a success. When offenders had the opportunity to work with dogs in need, we saw the transformation of many of the offenders right in front of our eyes. A large number of shelter dogs across America are living impounded and incarcerated as if they had committed a crime. Our program transfers dogs out of that high stress environment. The offenders earn the privilege to work with the dogs and relate to our rescue dogs stories of incarceration and redemption. In return, the offenders receive unconditional love from the dogs and an opportunity to prove trustworthiness and develop a sense of pride, accomplishment and giving back to society through working with our dogs. We have identified areas where to expand and improve upon from the pilot program and are excited for the opportunity to create a much larger positive impact.
The funds you donate via this crowdfunding campaign help us to cover start-up costs in laying the groundwork to legally open dispensaries and retail locations in 5 states to begin with. Our start-up costs include legal and accounting fees, licensing fees, inventory fees and location rental initial deposits and rents and location build out/construction. Everyone can donate to this campaign no matter where you live and the perks/thank you gifts we provide to those supporting this project will be delivered at the 1st opportunity to do so.

Rescue Leaf is a project of New Mexico Pets Alive/NextGen Shelter Project, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization celebrating its 6th year anniversary in January 2017. During that time we have assisted over 3,400 healthy and treatable dog and cats in need that had no other lifesaving options via medical, behavioral and adoption placement programs and we assisted almost the same number of people in need. All contributions made to our organization are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. All of us here at New Mexico Pets Alive/NextGen Shelter Project, including the people and the healthy and treatable at-risk shelter pets in need we assist, sincerely appreciate your support of the Rescue Leaf project fundraiser in order to build capacity to exponentially increase the number of people and pets we are able to help across the country.
THANK YOU!
