Pet Rescue Announces Donation Matching Gift Initiative

Pet Rescue, the Westchester County group dedicated to helping animals, announced this week that a longstanding donor has offered to match every gift dollar-for-dollar up to $8,000, as it seeks to raise $100,000 to complete the cat section of their facility in Harrison.

Under this gift matching effort, a donation of $25 becomes $50, a $50 gift becomes $100, which Pet Rescue says will go a long way in helping it raise the necessary funds. Pet Rescue has been putting money in a building fund for a while, so it already has a head start.

“But time is of the essence – Pet Rescue is asking for donations now to please help them finish their facility and have their cats and dogs under the same roof,” officials said in a statement. “To make a gift, please go to their website (www.ny-petrescue.org) or send a check to Pet Rescue, PO Box 393, Larchmont NY 10538 marked for the Building Fund.”

The 33-year-old Pet Rescue has “helped thousands of families adopt wonderful dogs and cats. Since opening their facility in Harrison two years ago, they have also provided medical care for hundreds more animals in need.”

Pet Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue organization, which has rescued more than 15,000 animals. Its mission is “to aid homeless and abused cats and dogs, provide necessary medical care and find them loving, forever homes.”
