May I recommend Milagro Senior Pet Refuge?  I founded Milagro in 1998, years before rescuing older animals was even a little bit cool.  I got lots of push-back from people telling me I was nuts to go that route, because who cares about old animals!  But, thank God, I went for it anyway, because the need was very real.  I incorporated and applied for IRS exempt status around 2004.

Once I got the website (milagropets.org) up and running, word quickly spread, and phone calls and requests for rescue help started coming in from all over the country.  People were on-board!  It was beautiful – so encouraging!  Now, 20-some years later, lots of seniors-only rescue organizations have sprung up nationwide, and most other rescue organizations have added a focus on seniors to their intake and adoption programs as well.  Milagro was a pioneer in this blessed transformation. ?

Donations to Milagro Are Fully Tax-Deductible.

The IRS recognizes Milagro as a non-profit, charitable organization (EIN 20-3538510).  Your donations are tax-deductible.  When you donate to Milagro, we will send you a confirmation letter detailing your gift that you can report to the IRS at tax time.

God Bless These Precious Lives You’ve Place In Our Care, And

Your Gift Goes Directly to the Milagro Pets.

Milagro uses your donations only for the care of the pets of Milagro.  None of your gift is used for any administrative purpose.  Your gift is deposited into Milagro’s medical fund, and is used to provide routine and emergency veterinary care, specialty diets appropriate for their age, grooming, and supplies such as pee pads/diapers, sub-q fluids, beds, dental care, eye care, litter, prescriptions and supplements, etc.  Visit Milagro’s “Donate” page (milagropets.org/donate) to give via PayPal, or to send a check by mail.

Not Able to Give Cash?  Consider the Amazon Smile Alternative!

Every Dollar Counts, and Your Gift In Any Amount Is Gratefully Accepted. If you are short on cash and still want to support Milagro, consider Amazon’s “Smile” charitable page.  Do your Amazon online shopping as usual, starting on Amazon’s charitable home  page — smile.amazon.com — and portions of your purchase total will be donated to Milagro by Amazon.  Super Easy — the first time you go to Amazon Smile, you’ll be prompted to choose your charity.  Just click on Milagro and that’s it — you’re all set!

Thereafter, every time you do your Amazon shopping, Amazon will automatically log your purchase and dedicate a percentage of your purchase to Milagro.  Doesn’t get much easier than that, right?  And the beauty is you’re still supporting Milagro, but it’s not coming out of your pocket!!  A large portion of the donations we receive come via the Amazon Smile Program.  Of course, the traditional method of gift-giving is also always available — Visit Milagro’s “Donate” page (milagropets.org/donate) to give via PayPal, or to send a check by mail.
