TARC's Rescuer Roundup

TARC is an organization with limited support from its local community. The Steem community, however, has shown astounding support for our efforts. This post, hopefully the first of many, will highlight some of our rescuers: the people on Steem whose support is enabling us to keep on rescuing animals from our local community.

Before Steem stepped up and we were blessed by the outpouring of love and funds from this community, TARC had had to suspend intakes and was struggling to keep our permanent sanctuary residents in kibble. But funded by SBD and Steem and the generous FIAT donations from Steemians we have recently saved many dogs from tragic situations and transitioned them to our northern rescue partners and safe new homes.

With Steem and SBD in a downswing, we may need to tighten our belts again, but Steem continues to be our salvation. This community has renewed our belief in humanity and brightened the future for many needy animals.

The following is a selection of our avid supporters with links to current posts of theirs where the SBD or a portion of the SBD has been pledged to TARC. Please consider visiting them to support their efforts helping us.

Tiny is an amazing artist and writer and has been making frequent posts in support of TARC for many months. This post is no longer in upvote range, but it announces her newest fundraising effort. She has written a poem within some art and sells items with it in her Redbubble shop. The proceeds from the items with this design--still available today--will be forwarded to @tarc as she receives them.

TARC is a 501(c)3, state-reporting home-based rescue in Virginia. Any US supporters who need a receipt for their donation should contact @rhondak to make arrangements. FIAT donations can be sent through our PayPal account [email protected] . You can also talk to @rhondak if you want to arrange to donate by sending funds directly to our veterinarian or want to donate actual bags of dog food. Every penny and every piece of kibble makes a difference.
