Donations

TAGS is a charitable non-profit organization and does not receive any government funding. We are entirely reliant on public donations for funds.  Other than monetary donations, TAGS needs other pet care items like good quality dog food, dog beds and blankets, leashes and collars, winter coats, dog toys, etc.  We also need other things like building materials and services.

How We Use Your Money

100% of your donations goes to helping the animals in our program as we have no paid staff. TAGS’ largest expense by far is the veterinary bills. We want to be sure that all our dogs are healthy, and sometimes this means expensive medications or surgeries that cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. In addition, all TAGS dogs are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and micro-chipped prior to adoption. While TAGS is fortunate to receive some donations of dog food, we also spend money purchasing quality dog food to feed to our dogs in foster care. Other expenses include the production of training, educational, and promotional material.
