FAQ - How does CB Rescue Foundation use your donations?

First, we would like to thank you for your donating - those who donate money, items, and their time to our cause have allowed us to help and continue helping hundreds of dogs.

There are a lot of costs associated with running a rescue, many of which we will not discuss in this section. The costs outlined below for a single dog are approximate, and can vary greatly from dog to dog depending on where they came from and how they lived.

Rescue & Boarding ($50-300+)
  • For cases where the dog is at high-risk in a kill shelter, we pull them out of the shelter and pay the adoption fee and find boarding until a flight companion is found.
Travel fees for our international rescues ($200-400+)
  • Flying dogs is cheapest on a direct flight with a flight companion, but fees have gone up significantly in the last couple of years.
Spaying/Neutering ($150-350)
  • All of our dogs are spayed or neutered before they can be adopted
Vaccinations & De-worming ($100-200)
  • All of our dogs receive the necessary vaccines and preventative medication before they can be adopted
Microchip ($25-50)
  • We require all of our dogs to be microchipped
Dental Work ($900-1500) and other required medical treatment ($100-1000+)
  • Because we want to give a chance to dogs that are often overlooked, neglected or abandoned, they frequently require vital medical treatment. A large part of our funds goes towards vet bills, and it is usually where we need the most financial help.
Food ($30-100/month)
General Necessities ($80-300)
  • This includes leashes, collars, dog beds, crates, poop bags, food bowls, toys, and other items.

Some of our other costs include providing items and food for stray and shelter animals at the Siksika nation, aiding our partner rescue Collares Rojos in the Dominican Republic, supporting families in need through our temporary foster outreach program, and more!
