Pets In Need’s Post

Ivana Miseva, part of the rescue team at Pawpers in the Ruff in Macedonia, recently shared a video that gives us a glimpse into their world. It's a world where they conduct many of their rescues - the notorious dump. As you watch the video, try to imagine the heart-wrenching scenes they encounter daily: dozens of dogs, some starving, others in dire conditions, and many who've never known the touch of a caring hand. The Pawpers in the Ruff team face difficult decisions daily, all while striving to care for as many dogs as possible with limited resources. Their passion for these animals fuels their determination to save lives, even while juggling permanent jobs and family responsibilities. With over 150 dogs in their care, rescued from dire conditions, their dedication knows no bounds. Their selfless dedication often comes with significant challenges and sacrifices. We must ensure that incredible women like Ivana receive the acknowledgment, respect, and resources they need to continue their life-saving work. Their dedication often comes with significant challenges and sacrifices, and it's our responsibility to support them. We invite you to spare just two minutes of your time to listen to Ivana's powerful message in the video she shared.

Filming cats & dogs seeking help to get off the streets is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it raises awareness about the plight of stray cats, highlighting their need for assistance and safe shelter. Secondly, these videos can attract the attention of animal rescue organizations and potential adopters, increasing the chances of these pets finding permanent homes. Additionally, sharing such footage on social media can generate community support and resources for rescue efforts, creating a network of compassionate individuals ready to help. Ultimately, documenting these cats & dogs struggles can drive meaningful action, ensuring they receive the care and protection they deserve. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation.

On this #FundraisingFriday, here is an example of the tricky issues that surround donor due diligence and accepting/refusing donations. There can be a difficult balance between managing reputational and other risks, and maximising income for your charity. With these types of issues, you’re often unlikely to find a solution that pleases everyone! From a charity law and trustee duty perspective, because this is a complex area it's really beneficial to have processes and policies in place to guide your teams through the issues and make sure you can demonstrate appropriate decision-making. https://lnkd.in/gXVygcGh

This is who we adopted our dog from over a year ago. They are wonderful people and need help rebuilding their shelter. Please read below. Urgent Support Needed After Shelter Fire – All Humans and Animals Safe! On November 4th, one of our worst fears was realized. An electrical fire caused by a short in our Oncor meter broke out in our kennel. Thanks to the quick actions of our staff and Seogoville Fire Department, we are relieved to be able to report all humans and animals are safe. That said, our shelter has suffered devastating damage that has left us in dire need of your support. Oncor will replace the meter however OHAR will be responsible for repairing wiring, copper, drywall, replacing the damaged equipment and food, and more. The Fire Marshall has “red-tagged” our kennels resulting in the temporary suspension of power and water until city inspectors greenlight the repairs. This process is expected to take several days and additional costs will be incurred as extra resources are needed to care for the animals during this time. At present, the identified repair expenses for just the electricians stand at $10,000 and will increase. It’s safe to say that this unexpected cost has caught us unprepared, and we are in urgent need of assistance. Your generous donations can make a significant difference in our ability to recover and provide for the animals that rely on us. Can you help? Here’s how: Financial Contributions. Your monetary donation, no matter how big or small, will go a long way in helping us restore our shelter and continue to provide a safe and loving environment for our animal residents. You can donate securely: On our website at ohar.org/donations. Your information is never shared or compromised as we are 100% PCI Compliant and encryption is guaranteed. PayPal at info@ohar.org For those who’d rather mail donations, our mailing address is Post Office Box 367 – Seagoville, TX 75159. Share Our Story: Spread the word about our situation on social media, among your friends, family, and colleagues. The more people are aware of our plight, the more help we can garner. Become a Temporary Foster: As traumatic as the fire has been for our animals, the noise and chaos of the repairs that need to occur will no doubt cause them additional stress. Bringing one of our animals into your home on a temporary basis while we recover from the fire would mean the world to that animal and help them overcome the trauma. Please know, any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. Your kindness and support during this difficult time mean the world to us and to the animals who rely on our care. We thank you for your compassion and generosity. Together, we can rise from the ashes and continue to provide a safe haven for the animals. Warm regards, Bettye & Jim

Charities always appreciate when Will-makers leave a gift in their Will to them. However, the only way a charity can receive anything from a Will-maker’s Estate is if they clearly identify/name the charity in their Will. If the deceased dies without a Will, under the rules of intestacy, a charity cannot receive a cent from the deceased’s Estate. In simple terms, no Will, no gift to charity from your Estate. https://lnkd.in/gFxmWCk3

Hats off to The Showcase of Fundraising Innovation & Inspiration (SOFII) and Battersea for this clever, uplifting and #mission focused TV ad for leaving a #gift in your will. Since the ad started running in 2020, they've received over 1,000 requests for legacy info and legacy income is over $18 million in the past 8 eight. Here are 4 key takeaways: (1) The ad is focused on LIFE, not dying or end of life. (2) Rescue animals are portrayed as loving sassy companions, not victims. (3) Research found Battersea #donors aligned themselves to rescue animals, as underdogs and survivors looking for a place to belong. (4) The music is toe-tapping, irresistibly fun and upbeat. https://lnkd.in/e-GqsXww #legacygiving #nonprofis #philanthropy #fundraising

URGENT PLEA - to all your animal lovers out there and I hope there are many - please read - this is a place to support and protect abused and unwanted animals - thank you from those without voices - Second Chance Animal Rescue, Crockenhill Where hope finds a home for an abandoned or abused animal when nowhere else will   URGENT PLEA: We find ourselves in an incredibly difficult situation, and we're reaching out with a heart heavy with desperation. Our trusted, old warhorse of a digger, which has faithfully served us for countless years, has finally surrendered to the relentless passage of time. The engine that powered our dreams and labours has now fallen silent, and despite our best efforts, we can no longer breathe life into it. This digger has been the backbone of our daily operations, enabling us to move heavy hay rounds, transport essential chippings, and perform crucial digging and lifting tasks. Its faithful service has been a lifeline for us, and its absence leaves a gaping void that we're struggling to fill. We ask of anyone who may have knowledge of a functioning digger available at a minimal cost or, if possible, free of charge, to please, please reach out to us. Your assistance could mean the world to us, allowing us to continue our vital work and ensure that we can keep our operations running smoothly. To any generous companies out there, if you have a digger that you could consider donating, we humbly request that you get in touch with us. Your contribution would not only rescue us from this dire situation but also serve as a beacon of hope during these challenging times. We are at a crossroads, and your help could make all the difference in the world. Please, let us not lose heart; let us unite and find a way to keep our mission alive. Your support would be a lifeline, and we eagerly await any response or assistance that can help us carry on with our essential work.
