How you can help

Donate

We want the best for our residents, but we need your assistance. There are many ways you can help keep our rescues warm, fed, and safe until they find furever homes! Your contribution to The Rescue Inn provides essential medical care, food, and safe shelter for dogs waiting for their permanent homes. Every donation makes a life-changing difference for a rescue dog.

General monetary donations

Monetary donations are always greatly appreciated.  Donations can be made using the Donate to TRI link below or by mailing them to The Rescue Inn, P.O. Box 246, North Olmsted, Ohio, 44070.

Directed monetary donations

If you would like your donation to be used for a specific purpose (such as pull fees, medical expenses, etc.) or if you are making a memorial donation, please include that information so that we can be sure to honor your wishes.

Sponsor

There are times when residents at the Inn require unexpected or extensive medical attention. While TRI is happy to go the extra mile for these animals, such care comes at a high cost and can drain the funds that would be used to save more dogs.  Now you can help us help them!  On our “Adoptable Dogs” page, you will see dogs with a note that they are available for sponsorship. These dogs have faced, or will be facing, extensive medical care. By sponsoring one of these dogs, you can help offset the medical costs for that particular animal.  Just use the PayPal link or mail your sponsorship to The Rescue Inn and make a comment as to which dog you would like to sponsor.  We’ll take care of the rest.  Every little bit helps, so please consider sponsoring one of the dogs today!

Get Involved

Monetary donations aren’t the only way to make a difference for our residents. Here are some other ways you can help –

Volunteer

Interested in helping out with the Inn?  We need volunteers to transport dogs to their medical appointments, transport supplies and medications to foster families, and help out at events. Email us at therescueinn@gmail.com for more information on joining the TRI crew!  

Fundraisers

Fundraising events for the Inn have a huge impact on how many animals can be saved and cared for until forever homes are found.  The more people we have to help and the more creative events we hold, the more animals we can save!  If you’d like to get involved in this important work at the Inn, contact Lee at therescueinn@gmail.com for more information!

Social Media

Sometimes the most effective way you can help a dog find their furever family is to share their story on social media. Follow The Rescue Inn on Facebook and share our dogs and fundraiser events with your friends!

Foster

It’s really quite simple – the more loving foster homes we have, the more dogs we can save. We need fosters for dogs of all sizes and ages.  If you have room in your “pack” to help out a dog on their journey, or simply
want more information, fill out a Foster Application.  You can also contact TRI at therescueinn@gmail.com to see how you can help!
