But did you know that you can use your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to support causes that matter to you, while also reaping some significant tax benefits?</p> <p>It’s something not everyone knows about, and we wanted to bring it to your attention before the year wraps up. Donating directly from your IRA, through a <strong>Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)</strong> or utilizing your <strong>Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)</strong>, can be a powerful way to make a difference for the animals at Famous Fido Rescue, all while potentially lowering your taxable income.</p> <h3>What is a QCD and How Does it Work?</h3> <p>A <strong>Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)</strong> is a direct transfer of funds from your IRA to a qualified charity, like Famous Fido Rescue. If you’re 70½ or older, you can give up to $100,000 per year to a charity like ours through a QCD. The best part? These funds won’t be taxed as income, which can help reduce your tax bill while making a real impact on the lives of animals in need.</p> <h3>How About RMDs?</h3> <p>Once you reach 73, the IRS requires you to take <strong>Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)</strong> from your traditional IRA each year. If you don’t need these funds, you can donate them directly to a qualified charity like us! By donating your RMD through a QCD, you won’t have to pay taxes on the amount donated, and the gift goes directly toward helping animals who need it most.</p> <h3>Why Should You Consider Donating Through Your IRA?</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Tax Benefits</strong>: Donations through QCDs can reduce your taxable income, which might help you lower your overall tax burden.</li> <li><strong>Help Animals in Need</strong>: Your contribution helps support the critical work we do at Famous Fido Rescue — from providing shelter to medical care for animals in need.</li> <li><strong>Simple and Efficient</strong>: It’s easy to do! Just contact your IRA custodian to arrange for the QCD, and your gift can go directly to the animals.</li> </ul> <h3>Make a Difference Today</h3> <p>Your IRA can be the perfect tool to help us continue our mission of rescuing and caring for animals like the kittens and Prince. Donating through a QCD or your RMD can make a significant difference, all while offering you important tax advantages.</p> <p>As the year comes to a close, please consider making a donation that will leave a lasting legacy. Every dollar you give goes toward saving lives, providing medical care, and ensuring a better future for animals in need. <a href="fido@famousfidorescue.com" class="broken_link"><strong>Contact us today</strong></a> if you have any questions about how to donate through your IRA — we’re here to guide you every step of the way!</p> <p>Thank you for your support, and we wish you a happy and fulfilling end to the year!</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Volunteers: The Rescue Heroes We Desperately Need</title> <link>https://famousfidorescue.org/volunteers-the-rescue-heroes-we-desperately-need/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Gloria Lissner]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 06 Nov 2024 16:58:08 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[About]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Blogs]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Cat Care]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Daily Basis]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Dog Care]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Get Involved]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://famousfidorescue.org/?p=25546</guid> <description><![CDATA[Volunteering in animal rescue is not for the faint-hearted.

It’s a commitment that requires time, energy, and a heart ready to feel deeply. Here at Famous Fido Rescue, we are blessed to have a small, devoted team – people who have been with us every week, month after month, year after year. Their dedication and commitment are the bedrock of everything we do. Without them, we simply couldn’t exist. But as much as we cherish and appreciate every single one of these incredible souls, we desperately need more hands, more hearts willing to join us and share this burden.</p> <p>The reality is that rescue work is hard. It’s emotionally and physically exhausting. There are days when our spirits are tested, when the stories of animals who come to us are just too much to bear, and when the endless cycle of cleaning, feeding, and caring seems relentless. But it’s because of these animals – because of the lives they’ve led and the suffering they’ve endured – that we continue. They’ve been let down so many times, abandoned, or left with no one to care for them. At Famous Fido Rescue, we have 130 cats and dogs, each with their own story, their own need for a kind touch, a clean space, and a glimpse of hope.</p> <p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-25547" src="https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_8885-1-225x300.jpeg" alt="" width="225" height="300" srcset="https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_8885-1-200x267.jpeg 200w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_8885-1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_8885-1-400x533.jpeg 400w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_8885-1-500x667.jpeg 500w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_8885-1-600x800.jpeg 600w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_8885-1-700x933.jpeg 700w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_8885-1-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_8885-1-800x1067.jpeg 800w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_8885-1-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_8885-1-1200x1600.jpeg 1200w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_8885-1-scaled.jpeg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px" /></p> <p>By volunteering, you are not just cleaning a room or filling a water bowl. You’re offering these animals a lifeline. When you clean the cat rooms or the dog rooms, you’re creating a safe, comfortable space where they can begin to heal. You’re giving them a reason to trust again. Your hands are not just lifting mops or sweeping up fur – they’re part of something much larger. Every task you take on lightens the load for us all and brings more relief and hope to the animals who need it most.</p> <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-25548" src="https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot_20241106_103733_Photos2-240x300.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="300" srcset="https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot_20241106_103733_Photos2-200x250.jpg 200w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot_20241106_103733_Photos2-240x300.jpg 240w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot_20241106_103733_Photos2-400x500.jpg 400w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot_20241106_103733_Photos2-500x625.jpg 500w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot_20241106_103733_Photos2-600x749.jpg 600w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot_20241106_103733_Photos2-700x874.jpg 700w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot_20241106_103733_Photos2-768x959.jpg 768w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot_20241106_103733_Photos2-800x999.jpg 800w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot_20241106_103733_Photos2-820x1024.jpg 820w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Screenshot_20241106_103733_Photos2.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px" /></p> <p>This work isn’t easy, and it shouldn’t be taken lightly.

It’s showing up for animals who have no one else.</p> <p><span style="font-size: 20px;"><strong>Volunteering is creating joy in the small moments, the soft purrs, the wagging tails, knowing that with every shift, with every act of care, you’re giving them a better chance.</strong></span></p> <p>We know that it’s not for everyone, but if you are someone who believes in making a real difference, who wants to be part of a team that stands up for those who can’t speak for themselves, then we ask you – please, volunteer with us. Help us clean the cat rooms, the dog rooms. Help us bring light into their lives and give them the love they’ve been searching for. Together, we can make sure that no animal at Famous Fido Rescue ever feels alone again.</p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: 20px;"><a href="https://famousfidorescue.org/volunteer">Apply to Volunteer</a></span></strong></p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Why Rescues Need Your Help to Keep Going</title> <link>https://famousfidorescue.org/why-rescues-need-your-help-to-keep-going/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Gloria Lissner]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 01 Nov 2024 15:56:52 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Get Involved]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://famousfidorescue.org/?p=25455</guid> <description><![CDATA[Every day, at Famous Fido Rescue and countless other good rescues, we face gut-wrenching decisions.

Animals come to us from every kind of heartbreaking situation: abandoned, neglected, scared, and in desperate need of medical care. Each one deserves a chance, and we want so much to be their advocate, their safety net, their hope. But the truth is, we can’t do it all alone. We can’t be the answer for every animal who needs help.</p> <p>When we’re asked to cover medical bills, emergency vet visits, and long-term care for animals who’ve been found or abandoned, it stretches our resources to the absolute limit. We are not government-funded. We operate on donations alone, every penny going directly to the food, medical care, and support of over 130 cats and dogs currently in our care. We push ourselves to the very edge trying to help every animal we can. But when we’re asked to cover more than what’s possible, we face an impossible choice. No rescue can continue like this without breaking under the weight. If communities keep relying solely on rescues to manage every emergency and expense, it will eventually bankrupt the very organizations trying hardest to make a difference.</p> <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-25457" src="https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/getty-images-OA8Q4cBX-Ks-unsplash-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/getty-images-OA8Q4cBX-Ks-unsplash-200x133.jpg 200w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/getty-images-OA8Q4cBX-Ks-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/getty-images-OA8Q4cBX-Ks-unsplash-400x267.jpg 400w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/getty-images-OA8Q4cBX-Ks-unsplash-500x333.jpg 500w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/getty-images-OA8Q4cBX-Ks-unsplash-600x400.jpg 600w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/getty-images-OA8Q4cBX-Ks-unsplash-700x467.jpg 700w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/getty-images-OA8Q4cBX-Ks-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/getty-images-OA8Q4cBX-Ks-unsplash-800x533.jpg 800w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/getty-images-OA8Q4cBX-Ks-unsplash-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/getty-images-OA8Q4cBX-Ks-unsplash-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/getty-images-OA8Q4cBX-Ks-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p> <p>If you find an animal in need, remember – <strong><em>they are depending on you</em>.</strong> In that moment, if no one else is there to speak for them, they have only you to advocate for their care, to help them find safety, to be the one who steps up. Please, do what you can to be there for them. Start a GoFundMe to help cover medical costs; apply for CareCredit if a vet visit is needed; post their story on social media, and tag us so we can help share it and reach more people. We’re here to support your efforts and help you spread the word, but understand that we simply cannot take on every expense without risking the survival of our rescue.</p> <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-25458" src="https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/little-plant-VEjJQrDC5ic-unsplash-300x251.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="251" srcset="https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/little-plant-VEjJQrDC5ic-unsplash-200x168.jpg 200w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/little-plant-VEjJQrDC5ic-unsplash-300x251.jpg 300w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/little-plant-VEjJQrDC5ic-unsplash-400x335.jpg 400w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/little-plant-VEjJQrDC5ic-unsplash-500x419.jpg 500w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/little-plant-VEjJQrDC5ic-unsplash-600x503.jpg 600w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/little-plant-VEjJQrDC5ic-unsplash-700x586.jpg 700w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/little-plant-VEjJQrDC5ic-unsplash-768x643.jpg 768w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/little-plant-VEjJQrDC5ic-unsplash-800x670.jpg 800w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/little-plant-VEjJQrDC5ic-unsplash-1024x858.jpg 1024w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/little-plant-VEjJQrDC5ic-unsplash-1200x1005.jpg 1200w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/little-plant-VEjJQrDC5ic-unsplash-1536x1287.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p> <p>This isn’t just a reality at Famous Fido Rescue – it’s the challenge faced by every good rescue trying to do right by animals. We’re not only struggling to meet the daily demands of our care; we’re also striving to build a better world where no animal is left behind. But if we’re going to make that vision a reality, it will require a <strong><em>community effort</em>.</strong> The responsibility for these innocent lives can’t fall solely on the shoulders of rescues. When we come together, each of us stepping in where we can, every animal has a chance.</p> <p>So, when you see an animal in need, remember that you can be the voice they don’t have. Please, be the advocate they so desperately depend on. Be the one who stands up when they have no one else. Together, we can make sure they’re not left alone. Together, we can create a compassionate world where every animal finds safety, love, and care. But it will take all of us. Please, help make this vision a reality – because they need you now more than ever.</p> <p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-25459" src="https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/jana-shnipelson-bzABf0jJk9M-unsplash-300x201.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="201" srcset="https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/jana-shnipelson-bzABf0jJk9M-unsplash-200x134.jpg 200w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/jana-shnipelson-bzABf0jJk9M-unsplash-300x201.jpg 300w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/jana-shnipelson-bzABf0jJk9M-unsplash-400x268.jpg 400w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/jana-shnipelson-bzABf0jJk9M-unsplash-500x334.jpg 500w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/jana-shnipelson-bzABf0jJk9M-unsplash-600x401.jpg 600w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/jana-shnipelson-bzABf0jJk9M-unsplash-700x468.jpg 700w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/jana-shnipelson-bzABf0jJk9M-unsplash-768x514.jpg 768w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/jana-shnipelson-bzABf0jJk9M-unsplash-800x535.jpg 800w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/jana-shnipelson-bzABf0jJk9M-unsplash-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/jana-shnipelson-bzABf0jJk9M-unsplash-1200x803.jpg 1200w, https://famousfidorescue.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/jana-shnipelson-bzABf0jJk9M-unsplash-1536x1028.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p> <p>If you’re passionate about making a difference for animals in need, consider organizing a fundraiser to support your local rescue. Every dollar raised for Famous Fido Rescue goes directly to food, medical care, shelter, and love for the animals who need it most. Hosting a small event, setting up an online fundraiser, or even reaching out to friends and family for contributions can make an incredible impact. Rescues like Famous Fido, and many others working tirelessly, depend on community support to continue their life-saving work. With your help, we can extend our reach, help more animals, and ensure that no animal is left behind. Your compassion and commitment mean the world to us – and even more to the animals who will be given a second chance because of it. Thank you for being a part of this journey and for standing up for those who have no voice.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>What Sponsoring an Animal Means</title> <link>https://famousfidorescue.org/what-sponsoring-an-animal-means/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Gloria Lissner]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 04 May 2023 01:39:10 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Cat Care]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Dog Care]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Get Involved]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://famousfidorescue.org/?p=14004</guid> <description><![CDATA[At Famous Fido Rescue we help many animals that have experienced abuse, neglect, or abandonment.

But we realize that not every person who is touched by an animals store has the ability to adopt. Remembering that every animal only gets one precious life, our goal is to have a positive influence and outcome, making their one precious life the best it can be. Becoming an animal sponsor is one way we try to open an avenue for their support when the perfect solution isn’t yet available. Here are some of the crucial things our sponsors enable us to provide for the cats and dogs who call us their temporary home.</p> <h3 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" data-fontsize="34" data-lineheight="43.86px">Medical Expenses</h3> <p>Every animal at Famous Fido Rescue is responsibly and appropriately cared for with their vetting. Sponsor for medical expenses can contribute to their spaying, neutering, vaccinations, treatments, and emergency care. Healthy animals who have done these things stand a monumentally greater chance of being adopted to forever homes.</p> <h3 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" data-fontsize="34" data-lineheight="43.86px">Training Solutions</h3> <p>Training is a crucial part of preparing dogs for their future homes. Our hope is to work with both cats and dogs and build on their potential to ease them with their transitions. With cats this can take the form of increased exposure to and interaction with volunteers. Cats who are more socialized again, have a better chance of being adopted. Training solutions such as positive-reinforcement classes for dogs can help ease their anxiety, and other behavioral challenges.</p> <h3 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" data-fontsize="34" data-lineheight="43.86px">Facility Improvements</h3> <p>There are 8 cat rooms, 5 dog rooms, a training room, and outdoor play space at our facility. This eliminates the need for cages in all but a few specific circumstances related to animal safety. With the drastic rise in animal surrenders during the pandemic we are again looking for ways to improve our capabilities. Sponsorship helps lay the bricks and pave the way for us to work with animals in environments that resemble the real world.</p> <h3 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" data-fontsize="34" data-lineheight="43.86px">Events And Campaigns</h3> <p>Throughout the year, Famous Fido Rescue hosts several events and runs campaigns to advocate animal adoptions and raise funds for their food, shelter, and medical care. This requires a network of engaged individuals and outreach. Working with animal sponsors is a great way for Famous Fido and dedicated animal lovers to connect and pool the efforts in important directions.</p> <h3 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" data-fontsize="34" data-lineheight="43.86px">Sanctuary Animals</h3> <p>When animals are not able to pass a behavioral assessment, or require extensive medical care, they are offered a safe space to stay in the Famous Fido sanctuary so they are not lost to euthanasia. As these animals are often more costly to care for, we often seek sponsors to commit to easing the impact of these costs and providing a reliable source of support.</p> <h3 class="fusion-responsive-typography-calculated" data-fontsize="34" data-lineheight="43.86px">Interventions</h3> <p>To save animals from entering shelters to begin with, Famous Fido Rescue works on solutions where cats or dogs can stay with their people in safe and loving homes. With this service, counseling and resources are offered to community members to prevent animals being surrendered. Sometimes this involves temporarily boarding an animal while their guardian resolves a housing situation or makes some necessary arrangements for the animal’s well-being. This is a cost that few, if any other animal rescues or shelters ever incur.
