HOW TO SUPPORT OUR WORK

Our work is dependent entirely on your donations. Since we are an all-volunteer organization, funds go directly to helping the pets.  

Pet Helpers Port Townsend is a nonprofit 501c3 organization. We do not proselytize. Donated funds to Pet Helpers Port Townsend go to care of the animals, with only 3% used for operating expenses. Tax ID, financial report, and details are available on request to coordinator@pethelpersporttownsend.org.

Your generous donations make a huge difference! Besides providing funds for spay, neuter, vaccinations and microchips, we handle many urgent requests to help pay for acute illnesses and injuries.

Below are some photos of a typical emergency case. The cost was $3000. Without the hep of generous donors such as yourself, we could not have saved this dog’s life.

Photos: 1. Louie the dog before the coyote attack. 2. A view of some of the surgical repairs – they placed rubber tubes to drain abscesses in the wounds. There were several more in his throat and chest. These were later removed and the wounds stitched closed. Louie healed well.

Where exactly do your donations go?

Funds donated to Pet Helpers pay for veterinary care and/or sheltering fees for the pets of the homeless people in Port Townsend and vicinity. Veterinary costs are for treatment of ill and injured pets, spay, neuter, vaccinations, microchips, and licensing.

We print brochures and posters that inform the community of our work, and have a few office expenses such as paper – these add up to only 3% of our expenses. Most other office costs are donated by our volunteers, as are gasoline expenses.

Please help us make a difference.
