RAL receives no financial support from United Way, government agencies or national humane organizations. We rely solely on donations, adoption fees, and fundraising activities to provide our operating funds which average $17,000.00 per month. This includes food for our animals, utilities, mortgage and of course, veterinary bills. Our veterinarian expenses alone average $40,000 per year.
We happily accept all donations. It's very expensive to maintain our facility and care for the animals. Since we depend completely on contributions from individuals and local businesses, and not from any government agencies or charitable organizations, why not donate a few dollars? You can click on the left or send via mail. You can also have a donation deducted automatically each month from your checking account, Mastercard, or Visa. Please call us at 804-379-0046 to sign up or for more information.

Did you know that you can double the amount of your donation to RAL? Many employers are willing to match the charitable contributions of their employees (whether it be for an adoption, donating on line, Remembrance Giving, etc.). Matching gifts are usually matched dollar for dollar (often by just completing a simple company form). Please inquire at your employer's Human Resources or Personnel Department to determine if you have a Matching Gift Program.
