WhatCanWe.org
WhatCanWe.org™ started in 2012 to raise awareness and funds for licensed, nonprofit animal rescues in order to help offset the financial hardships most currently endure due to overwhelming veterinary expenses. Today, every 1.5 seconds a homeless animal’s life is terminated in a shelter. Fortunately, there is an army of benevolent rescue organizations that are on the front lines battling every day in an effort to positively change these numbers.
The challenge these rescues
face is the exorbitant cost of medical care for these abandoned animals. In fact, these expenses drain more than 50%
of a rescue’s operating budget. Since
most of these rescues rely solely on limited resources, compassionate community
volunteers, and charitable donations, these costs have a staggering impact on a
rescue’s ability to save more animals in need.
WhatCanWe.org is determined to change this situation by raising awareness and funds to offset these costs, and ultimately, to create nonprofit teaching veterinary clinics that offer low or no-cost veterinary care to licensed, nonprofit rescues.
