I received this message from Out West Pet Rescue:
We are in need of volunteers who are experienced with grant writing and research for non profit 501c3 pet rescue. Thank you so much for your assistance.
We are strictly foster home only and have an average of 1,000 adoptions per year. We are constantly in need of food, materials, and finances for medical. We spay/neuter all dogs over the age of 4 months and most under the age of 4 months. There are occasions when we must adopt a pup out with a spay/neuter contract. We follow up on these vigilantly to assure the pets are sterilized. We are a group of 4 dedicated volunteers, and a handful of occasional volunteers. We need help to write and receive grants, and funds to continue. We have tried to reach out to more folks who are in low income situations this year with their pets getting altered, and it has hit us hard. We hate to turn away anyone, but must due to lack of funds. There are no “low-cost” or “free” spay/neutere clinics around here and the veterinary costs are steep for those with limited budgets. We want to help not only the pets, but their families to provide better care for them.
Anyone can reach us at 509-832-3060 or outwestpetrescue@yahoo.com.
