All kinds of credit and debit cards, low-cost ACH bank transfer, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
Yes, your donation is tax-deductible. Trusted Rescue is a registered nonprofit organization under section [501(c)(3)] of the Internal Revenue Code. After completing your donation, you will automatically receive a donation receipt via email. This receipt serves as confirmation of your donation and can be used for tax purposes.
100% of the proceeds goes directly to the animal you’ve selected and stays with them throughout their rescue journey. Every animal essentially has their own “animal wallet” (see animal wallet FAQ) and so you and other donors to that animal can see all the funds raised and how they’ve been used.
Each animal has its own dedicated wallet where donations are safely stored. Donors, as well as the custodial rescue organization, can see all donations and expenses. The wallet remains with the animal, even if custody changes between rescue organizations, and potentially, adopters!
Our rescue partners know best what the animal needs and we follow their guidance to appropriately use the funds. In the future we will support specialized donations.

If a dog is not available, you can sign up for a waitlist and be notified when they become ready for adoption.
