We've had the privilege of serving our community for the past 20 years, but saving lives is a costly venture. This year alone, cost of basic vetting (including microchipping) was a WHOPPING $114,339 from January to October - and we still have time left! This also does not include any hospitalizations and boarding costs we've incurred for more difficult cases.
The holidays are always a tough time in animal welfare. Shelters often see an uptick as people travel and get busier and decide they can no longer keep their pets. Intake holds are common and rescues often step in to lighten the burden on municipal shelters. We anticipate a busy holiday season at IDR+. Thus we anticipate added vetting costs for basic needs such as rabies and distemper vaccines, fecal and heartworm screening, spay/neuters, respiratory infections, bloodwork, dentals, and other preventatives.
We hope to raise $10,000 between Giving Tuesday and the end of the year. Help us wrap up 2023 with a bang! Thank you to all our supporters all of these years. Without you, would we be unable to continue rescuing.
Here are our yearly intake totals so far:
Dobermans - ~100
Plus dogs - ~40
Cats - ~25
