Thank you to everyone who donated to True Blue Animal Rescue for the many animals that needed us this year. If you donated on a Facebook fundraiser instead of donating directly to True Blue Animal Rescue, we get a check 6 to 8 weeks later, but we don’t get a list of donor names. Thank you for caring enough to donate. Without you, we couldn’t save as many animals as we do each year.
We try very hard to list and acknowledge all honorariums, memorials and event sponsors but if we have inadvertently left one out or posted incorrect information, please bring it to our attention and we will rectify the error.
