[vc_row][vc_column][vcex_spacing][vc_text_separator title=”We Can’t Exist Without You – Thank You!” style=”five” font_weight=”24px” span_color=”#dd9933″ font_size=”24px”][vcex_spacing][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Without a doubt there are very few charities who can exist without money and in order to have money we have to go out and get it. Supporting the mission by managing life saving programs requires consistent cash flow and our fundraising committee makes that happen.

We’ve built a great reputation since 2010 and we have good numbers and accolades to encourage donations and sponsorships. We’re careful about how we present our charity in public and through traditional and social media outlets. Our branding is consistent and professional and we strive to not only save lives but to create significant partnerships with corporations and businesses in the community.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vcex_milestone number=”2000″ caption=”Saved Dogs” url_rel=”none” before=”+” number_color=”#dd9933″ number_size=”32px” caption_color=”#898989″ caption_size=”16px” interval=”50″][vcex_milestone number=”1500″ caption=”Registered Volunteers” url_rel=”none” before=”+” number_color=”#dd9933″ number_size=”32px” caption_color=”#898989″ caption_size=”16px” interval=”50″][vcex_milestone number=”1200″ caption=”Attendees at Events” url_rel=”none” before=”+” number_color=”#dd9933″ number_size=”32px” caption_color=”#898989″ caption_size=”16px” interval=”50″][vcex_spacing][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”Your Responsibilities” style=”five” font_weight=”24px” span_color=”#dd9933″ font_size=”24px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vcex_spacing][vcex_bullets]Entering Information:
