This past year we have all had our ups and downs. We have lost friends, family and jobs. Each friend on twitter has been there through it all. We are eternally grateful.
Many ask why we donate to so many causes, yes I really get the emails and pings asking what is so special about this or that. My Mom has always been a giver, to a fault at times.
Our plans for our Rufus' Rascals foundation was met with a bit of angst and red-tape. Privately we have funded many rescues, vet bills, food, sheltering costs, and just new toys for our friends going through a rough patch. Our silly parties are funded by my bully-bank.
Having a Non-profit (Not For Profit 501 (c)(3) ) is a paperwork intensive process. However, the benefits are rewarding. We are officially launching our Rufus' Rascals Not-For-Profit Foundation Jan 1, 2015. With the designation, all donations are tax deductible, that helps with the Tax Man bill.
We are not a business of raising money, we are however very compassionate animal lovers and hope to help animals in need.
What does this mean for anyone reading this... We will have a web-page and a donation button. We will also have a fundme page with a highlight of who we are raising money for. In addition, our bi-monthly updates will be featured in a blog. One other area we focusing on is anonymous help. If someone is having a difficult time, they do not need to be ashamed or embarrassed. We will privately assist in vet bills.
Many thanks to everyone who has supported our dreams of bulldogs in homes, not shelters. Look forward to the future of the great deeds Rufus' Rascals provides.
