GoldHeart Expenses
Each year our expenses increase as veterinary care and supplies increase. When a dog is adopted, the amount we collect rarely covers the expenses incurred. Below includes typical vet services for dogs coming into the rescue; however, some dogs need more vet services, resulting in a higher average cost per dog. For example, the average cost per dog rescued in 2022 was $1,500. GoldHeart is a non-profit 501(c) 3 charitable organization that depends largely on the generosity of the people that choose to support our mission. 100% of the funds collected are used to benefit the dogs.
