The Little Red Dog Launches July Fundraiser and Holiday Safety Tips
The Little Red Dog, a non-profit dog rescue, announced today its July fundraiser, a critical social media-driven campaign to combat surging euthanasia rates and dwindling donations. The organization is issuing an urgent call to action: the lives of vulnerable dogs depend entirely on community support.
“We are in crisis,” said PJ Rosch, Founder & Top Dog. “Donations are down significantly, and more dogs than ever are being euthanized in shelters. The harsh truth is we cannot save these deserving dogs or even care for the 70 dogs already in our rescue without immediate financial support.”
The Little Red Dog receives no government funding whatsoever. Every dollar needed to feed, house and provide medical care for their current residents must be raised through the generosity of individuals. This dire financial situation has forced them to make a heartbreaking decision.
“We have stopped rescuing new dogs,” Rosch continued. “Until we can secure the funds to support our existing efforts, we simply cannot pull more dogs from kill shelters. This is a desperate plea: without your donations, we cannot fulfill our mission to save lives.”
