All donations are fully committed to directly supporting Rescue Tails Animal Sanctuary.

We will also use donations to spread outreach and education at times, ensuring that we are teaching people everywhere about the importance of animal welfare and ensuring animals everywhere have the best chance at a safe, happy life.
