Why are funds raised not “saved” for animal medical emergencies?
A. Funds are unable to be saved since all funds donated to the shelter are necessary for the day to day functioning of the facility, including utilities, staff, insurance, maintenance, vet care, and all other related expenses, (as well as medical emergencies and treatment) that are incurred and necessary for the shelter to operate which in turn allows us to continue to service the community. Understanding that money used to pay for utilitarian things such as electricity and the water bill is critical to the health and well-being of the animals, albeit not as feelgood as dogbeds, treats and toys are.
