Financial Support:
We’re excited to offer fundraising T-Shirts, custom designed in the Rally to Rescue™ signature shade of purple, with a classic quotation from Mahatma Gandhi on the front: "The character of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated." Each Rescue Ambassador will receive an initial batch of 25 free T-Shirts, which we suggest you sell for $15/each. Additional T-Shirts will be available to purchase at Rally to Rescue's cost. It's just one of the many ways we're helping you do more for pets.
