Dirk’s Fund operates totally by the generosity of donors like you. We receive no local, state, or federal funding. We have no paid employees so all of our funds go directly to the care and well- being of the dogs. Our largest expense, by far, is our vetting. If you have, or have had, a dog, you know how expensive vet bills can be. We do get a discount from our vet but, even so, we spent close to $90,000 last year making sure our dogs were healthy. The adoption fee we charge is less than half the cost of completely vetting and caring for a dog.
Your donation to Dirk’s Fund Golden Retriever Rescue is fully tax-deductible as we are a 501(c)(3). Please help our animals today! Our future depends on generous supporters like you! Woof! We are happy to provide donation tax receipts for any donation received. Federal Tax I.D. 43-1863897
