As you can imagine, operating a rescue that houses 80 dogs on any given day can be quite expensive.
Based in Wheeler Co, Ga., Southern Comfort Animal Rescue is the only animal shelter of any type in it's county and is constantly being asked to take in another dog. SoCo Rescue, a No Kill shelter, operates on a very limited budget, with no financial assistance from it's county and very few donations to help cover it's daily operational expenses.
About 90% of the dogs that end up at SoCo Rescue require much more than the basic vet care as many of these dogs were either neglected, abused or homeless prior to coming to the rescue.
With rent, utilities, insurance and such, SoCo often struggles to meet it's need in covering it's basic operational expenses of $2,500 each month. And that doesn't include payroll for our staff, who work long hours, cleaning up after the dogs and tending to their every need. Our volunteer base to help with such duties is zero, seems that no one really wants to clean dog poop for a living. So being able to afford this staff is critical as someone has to care for the dogs on a daily basis.
SoCo Rescue is a registered 501(c)3 and any donations are tax deductible. Please consider making a donation today or becomng a monthly sponsor of this rescue.
