I hate asking for help. I really do. ❤️
But Belly Rub Ranch Rescue has grown into something that we simply cannot carry alone anymore.
Our electric bill here at the rescue is around $700 every month because we’re running AC 24/7 in our kennel and cat areas to keep the animals safe and comfortable in this Florida heat.
And that’s just one expense.
Because our property is on well water and we don’t currently have a reverse-osmosis system, we also purchase drinking water for the dogs and cats. We have 18 large water jugs delivered at a time, costing us about $159 every other week, because we want the animals drinking good-quality water every day.
Then there’s dog food, cat food and litter, pig food and routine hoof/nail and tusk care, flea and parasite prevention, medications, cleaning and sanitation supplies, veterinary needs, and all of the everyday expenses that come with caring for rescued animals 365 days a year.
So we finally created a fundraiser to help us keep Belly Rub Ranch running. 🐾❤️
Just our electricity works out to roughly $23 per day.
If 30 people donated $23, that would cover almost an entire month of electricity for the rescue.
Every donation — whether it’s $5, $23, $50 or more — helps pay for the very real, everyday things these animals need to be healthy, comfortable and cared for.
If you’re able to donate, we would be incredibly grateful. And if you can’t donate right now, please share this post. Sharing can be just as valuable because you never know who it may reach.
Asking for help is hard for me, but I’m realizing more and more that rescue truly takes a village — and I’m so thankful for ours.
