SUPPORTING AUSSIE RESCUE &
PLACEMENT HELPLINE, INC. (ARPH)
Although ARPH charges an adoption fee for Aussies we place in new homes, this
is never enough to cover our expenses. Ordinary vet costs (vaccinations,
spay/neuter, heartworm test and preventative, etc) often exceed adoption
fees, and we never recoup the day-to-day, miscellaneous expenses of housing
foster dogs. When we commit to a dog that requires special care or surgery,
these costs can become exorbitant. Sometimes foster space isn't available,
and we may need to board a dog temporarily. All of these costs quickly add up.
We need your help to be able to provide the best care possible for homeless
Australian Shepherds. Giving a donation to our organization not only helps
pay for ordinary expenses, but also helps us with our many extraordinary
expenses.
Supporting an Individual Dog
Some people prefer to earmark their donation for a specific dog, and we
welcome and encourage this. All of our dogs need help, but sometimes
associating a face and name with your donation makes it more personal. You
may sponsor a dog that needs boarding, help to pay for a dog's special needs,
or just help us feed and care for a particular dog.
Please read the biographies of our dogs, and if you can find it in your heart
to help one of them, please let us know which dog you wish to support. Your
name will be added to the dog's bio as the sponsor. Any donations that exceed
the dog's expenses will be used to help other dogs through the general fund.
In Return for Your Donation
Anyone making a donation of $50 or more will receive an ARPH Cookbook and
your choice of an ARPH 2001 Dog of the Year tee shirt or sweatshirt - WHILE
SUPPLIES LAST. Please let us know if your donation is to be used for a
particular dog.
On behalf of all Australian Shepherds in need, we thank you for your support.
