Donate

Thank you for considering a donation! How does your donation help?

Here are some of the ways your donations benefit GSPs in our care:

$5 = Five days of pain medication
$10 = Flea treatment for 2 dogs
$25 = Seizure medication for 4 months
$50 = Vet visit or heartworm test
$100 = Vaccinations for 4 dogs
$150 = Dog food for 3 months
$250 = Spay & pain meds
$500 = Dental cleaning
$1000 = Emergency vet visit
$5000 = Orthopedic surgery (knees, hips, spine, shoulders)

Vet care costs continue to rise. We don’t turn a dog away simply because s/he is older or requires extensive medical care. Your donation does make a difference.

Company Matching and Employee Giving – Making Your Gift Do More

Be sure to check if your employer has a company matching or employee giving program. For example, some employers will match your donations (typically 1:1 but some will double or even triple your gift) up to their predetermined limit. Other employers give a contribution if you volunteer X number of hours per year to a non-profit organization. Some employers will contribute to a non-profit organization on your behalf once you designate the cause. And some offer payroll deduction to make your giving easy.

Usually, the employer will send or email a form to us for verification of your donation or hours. This form can be emailed to us or mailed to us at:

NorCal GSP Rescue – Treasurer
PO Box 933
Menlo Park, CA 94026

We have received matching contributions or employee payroll deductions from the following companies:

Altria, Ameriprise, Blue Shield Cares, Bechtel, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Dealey Renton & Associates, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Genentech, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Safeco, SMART, TRUIST, UBS and UWBA. Oh, and a company we are not allowed to mention by name, but you may own one of their phones, tablets, or computers!

United Way – Did you know? United Way allows you to designate any non-profit (that’s us!) to receive your United Way contribution, via payroll deduction or a single amount. Check with your local United Way!
California State Employees – you are eligible to donate via payroll deduction as part of the California State Employees Charitable Campaign, through the United Way.
Federal Employees – We will be applying for the Combined Federal Campaign in 2013 – stay tuned!

Guardian Angel Recurring Donations – Help us get to 50 Guardian Angels!

You helped us help those GSPs at death’s door in shelters. The older dogs that no one else wanted. The GSPs needing surgery and rehabilitation that others had given up on. Now you can do even more. Become a Guardian Angel! With your recurring monthly donation, you will ensure that funds are available year-round to take care of our foster GSPs. Just $10 per month provides flea & tick preventative for two dogs. $25 a month provides heartworm preventative for ten dogs. $100 a month means we can provide life-saving surgeries.

Give the gift of a second chance to a deserving GSP! Sign up through our donation widget in the sidebar, or read more on our Guardian Angel page.

Tribute Giving

Tribute Giving provides a special way to reach out to family and friends in a meaningful way while providing support for NorCal GSP Rescue’s dogs. When your Tribute Gift is received, we will send a card to the person you designate, in your name. The amount of the gift is not mentioned.

Memorial gifts allow you to celebrate the memory of those special individuals in your life. It’s a way to honor those who cared so deeply about animals during their lives. You can also commemorate the life of a beloved companion animal.

Honor gifts are special gifts to make in honor of a birthday, anniversary, or any special occasion. They celebrate the special people and animals in our lives.

Great Senior Pooch Fund

Help our Grammie and Grampie GSPs!  We need people like you who have a soft spot for the oldies, who want to help older GSPs live out their days in comfort and see to it they get the medical care they deserve. Their lives may not have been that great, but gosh darn, the rest of their lives will be! Too often, older dogs are dumped at the shelter for reasons like “can’t hunt” or “too old” or “sick.” These dogs may remain in foster care much longer than younger dogs, and have more (expensive) needs – such as medical care, medications, surgeries. Sometimes they remain in our foster program the rest of their lives. We want to provide them with the best of care. To do that, we need money. Yes, your money. Won’t you feel good knowing you made a difference? While others were helping cute little puppies, you reached out to make a senior dog’s life worth living? That your donation provided much needed medication or labwork or surgery? Contribute today to our Great Senior Pooch fund! Donate by PayPal or check.

Fido Feeders Fund

Contributions to our Fido Feeders Fund are gratefully accepted. This Fund is used exclusively to assist those foster homes undergoing financial hardship due to job loss or otherwise limited income, and provides monthly dog food assistance for their foster dog(s). Our foster families normally donate the cost of feeding their foster dog(s). But in these trying economic times, we have foster families who are out of work or are having trouble making ends meet. They are happy to continue to provide a loving foster home for one or more foster dogs but are struggling with the cost of dog food. Cash contributions, pet store gift cards, or Costco gift certificates are welcomed – please specify Fido Feeders Fund. Donate by PayPal or check.
