There are more than 300 animals in residence at the Sanctuary.  The daily care of such a large community, spaying and neutering, medical treatments, and all the other services provided by the Sanctuary are a major expense.  Just the veterinary bills can run to thousands of dollars a month.  Rainbow Friends solely relies upon contributions for its operations.  Donations, small or large, in money, goods or services are greatly appreciated.  Rainbow Friends is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and all contributions are tax-deductible.  Thank you for caring for the animals!
