How to build a sanctuary



A Little bit of MAGIC 
    And a whole lot of LOVE !


22 Species
  1295 Animals
     and YOU !


From this ...... 

   to this .... 





How do you create a
     no kill sanctuary ?

One animal at a time













One donor at a time

One volunteer at a time












In the beginning
     there was one cat
          his name was Bobby

Our first call for help
     Our first vet bill
          Our first adoption

Bobby had been hit by a car and
     He needed surgery
          He needed care
               He needed love
                    He needed a long recuperation 
                         He needed a loving forever home

YOU were there
     YOU paid his surgeon
          YOU gave him food
               YOU SAVED HIS LIFE              



Then came Goldie
      Unwanted
          Unloved
               Frightened
                    Alone
                         Sick, oh so sick

Our first forever resident
     Our first terrified dog
          Our first challenging rehab patient

YOU were there for her
     YOU gave her medicine
          YOU gave her food
               YOU GAVE HER A CHANCE

She lived at Rikki’s Refuge for 9 happy years
     She learned to love
          She learned to trust
               She made friends
                    She was friendly

Again and again
     They had no hope
          They had no chance
               They had no love



YOU were there
     YOU changed that
          YOU gave hope













YOU gave love

YOU gave life











Repeat .... every day for 15 years
     Repeat .... for 5,376 
                            domestic and farm animals



          Repeat .... everyday for 1,295 
                                                daily residents

               Repeat .... for countless wildlife



                    Repeat .... and save one more

YOU GIVE ....










 


SO THEY LIVE













YOU GIVE .... Doubling Your Dollar












YOU GIVE .... USA Tax Deductible Contributions

YOU GIVE .... Money






                    YOU GIVE .... Meals













                         YOU GIVE .... Beds

YOU GIVE .... Medicine










YOU GIVE .... LOVE, LIFE, PEACE, and HAPPINESS

YOU are there because ....
     YOU Care
          YOU Know it matters
               YOU Value every life .... 
                                         every single one



YOUR $1 becomes $2 and feeds 8













     $5 becomes $10 and feeds 40
          $12.50 becomes $25 and feeds 100
                      $25 becomes $50 and feeds 200
                           $50 becomes $100 and feeds 400











  $125 becomes $250 and feeds 1,000
      $250 becomes $500 .... a meal for everyone !













$500 becomes $1,000 and feeds 4,000 meals
     $1,000 becomes $2,000 and feeds 8,000 meals
$2,266.25 becomes $4,532.50 and ....













feeds EVERYONE for a WEEK !
