Survivor Tails Animal Rescue is getting ready to run an online auction fundraiser on APRIL 30, 2016.

ABOUT US

Somewhere between 3–4 million animals die in shelters every year across the U.S. simply because there is no place for them to go. Survivor Tails Animal Rescue was born to help bring those numbers down and in just three  years, we are proud to say we have saved over 625 dogs and cats.

From routine vetting costs to boarding, training, transport, and marketing, the costs involved with rescuing animals can be astronomical. Our fully volunteer, foster-based 501(c)3 registered nonprofit would cease to exist without the generosity of our supporters.

ABOUT OUR EVENT

To support our work, Survivor Tails is thrilled to be hosting our 2nd Annual Rescue Fever Honorary Gala, where we will be heating up the runway with adoptable dogs and their firefighter escorts on Saturday, April 30th, 2016 at 6pm at the Florian Hall in Boston. Last year, we hosted over 260 attendees and raised over $18,000 with 20% of the proceeds going to the Last Call Foundation. This year, our goal is to raise $30,000 to establish our new “Paws in Pain” fund, designed to support major medical bills and unexpected veterinary costs.

This second annual red carpet event will feature special guests and an award ceremony honoring local firefighters that have gone above the call of duty to save animals from dire situations, just like we do here at Survivor Tails. Additionally, the Calendar Guys from the Boston Firefighters Burn Foundation will walk our adoptable dogs down the catwalk to promote them for adoption. The event, cohosted by Channel 7 Boston investigative reporters, Cheryl Fiandaca and Mary Schwager, will also feature music by DJ Eliot Ness and Greater Boston Firefighters Pipe & Drum, delicious buffet dinner, photo booth, and silent auction packed with amazing items.

We invite you to be a part of this gala, and hope you will consider sponsoring through one of the many options on the following page. Twenty percent of this year’s gala will be donated to the Boston Firefighters Burn Foundation, while the remainder will go to offsetting veterinary costs incurred by our rescue.

HOW YOUR SUPPORT WILL IMPACT ANIMALS

Last year, Survivor Tails spent over $117,000 on vetting, a large majority of which was used for emergency and unexpected veterinary care. Establishing a fund for these unplanned costs will prevent us rom depleting the funds we need for everyday costs like boarding, spay/neuter, transport, state-mandated quarantine, marketing, etc. And when we have more money, we can save more animals.

Survivor Tails Animal Rescue is an all volunteer, 501(c)3 registered non-profit who exists to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome unwanted, abused, and neglected cats and dogs. Survivor Tails is a foster-based animal rescue and therefore has no brick and mortar facility. Survivor Tails does not discriminate on breed, age, or health status and we believe that all animals deserve a second chance at life. Proceeds from Rescue Fever will go into our “Paws in Pain” fund to help cover major medicals and unexpected veterinary costs. Please visit www.survivortails.org for more information!
