Donations = More Dogs & More Cats Rescued!
Rocky’s Rescue survives on cash donations and we rely on them just to keep going. The more we receive, the more dogs and cats we can rescue. We do not pay wages and all donations are used in direct aid to the animals. Rocky’s is staffed by volunteers. Rocky’s K9 Rescue has a fundraising license – (CFN 21509). Your donation is used in direct aid to our animals and makes a world of difference to our babes. Scroll to bottom of page to view how we use donation money.

Every dog or cat that is rescued costs money – beginning with their veterinary treatment. All of our dogs and cats are microchipped, desexed, intestinally wormed, heart wormed tested (and treated if necessary) and vaccinated. We then place them in Foster Care while we search for their forever home. Sometimes we are unable to find a foster care place and in such cases, we board the pet in a boarding kennel. This is not ideal, but we do our best by visiting them regularly for walks, socialisation, training and to attend to their needs until we either find a foster place, or new home.
Of course we receive an adoption fee as our pets are rehomed. However, the costs of running an animal shelter far out-weigh the money we receive from that fee. We do not turn away from injured animals and we have saved many pets who had no chance of being rescued because they had medical needs. We hold sausage sizzles and run raffles, hold events etc. to raise funds. It’s a constant battle.
Boarding fees are expensive & calculated daily and we are always paying off large bills – usually paid for by (our founder Merna’s) credit card!. However, we feel that it worth it to save a life of a beautiful and deserving dog or cat.
