Help Save & Get Large Anguilla Dogs to the U.S.
URGENT PLEA FOR YOUR DONATION!
$8,000 is urgently needed every quarter of 2024 and 2025 in order to fly five rounds of rescue dogs via cargo from Anguilla to the U.S.
Please donate between NOW and December 31, 2024.
A total of $32,500 will be raised by the end of the year.
Why? Because it’s life or death for many mid- to large-sized Anguilla shelter dogs and your donation will help save them.
THE PROBLEM
Many loving, innocent, healthy, mid- to large-sized mixed-breed island dogs in Anguilla consistently sit in a small kill-shelter (with limited space and finances) where they will be euthanized, by no choice of their own. As sad as it is to accept, these dogs take up resources in the Anguilla shelter. Unless Fly To Freedom Dog Rescue has the funds to save these mid- to large-sized dogs, these Anguilla dogs will die.
THE DOGS CAN BE SAVED -- HOW YOU CAN HELP
Donate today. Ask your family and friends to donate. Return here and watch the fundraiser grow. Donate again in 6 months. Make another donation in the near future because this is an ongoing problem that needs continuous support.
HISTORY OF SITUATION
In 2023, Fly To Freedom Dog Rescue saved 29 mid to large-sized Anguilla dogs. Although this is commendable, the organization ran out of money to continue to save them. Now, significant financial assistance is required in order to continue saving these mid- to large-sized dogs. Or else these dogs will die.
WHAT YOUR DONATION SUPPORTS
Economies of scale require Fly To Freedom Dog Rescue to fly the mid- to large-size dogs in packs of 6 dogs, as it is the same fixed-cost to fly just one dog via cargo as it is to fly 6 dogs via cargo (the maximum the inter-island cargo plane can accommodate).
Your donation goes directly towards the $1,300 price tag that it takes to prepare and fly just one mid- to large-sized dog off of Anguilla and to the United States for adoption. And your donation goes to the overall $8,000 cost to fly 6 dogs at once.
The $1,300 per dog cost includes:
• Veterinary exams
• Preventative medicines
• Vaccines
• Microchip
• Pee pads, collar, leash, sanitary wipes, poop bags
• Travel kennels
• Travel water and food bowls
• Import, custom, and duty fees
• Transport fees to three airports
• Three cargo airline tickets per dog
• Boarding fees at the Anguilla shelter
• Boarding fees in Puerto Rico at Del Guatu boarding facility
• Airport handler fees
GoFundMe will take your donation and pay it to the Fly To Freedom Dog Rescue, Inc. a U.S.-based 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization, who will then organize and pay for the costs associated with and saving 24 mid to large-sized Anguilla dogs in one year, with 12 of the dogs being saved and transported to the United States for adoption by end of 2024.
THE PLAN
Once the first $8,000 in donations is raised, the first batch of 6 mid- to large-sized Anguilla dogs will be saved and flown to the United States for adoption. Once the second $8,000 is raised, the next batch of 6 dogs will be saved and flown. And so on and so forth as the team works towards saving 24 of them over a 12-month period of time. This fundraiser will continue to operate as long as healthy adult dogs are needing transport to save their lives.
