Grateful Acres Animal Sanctuary is supported solely by donations. All contributions we recieve are used for caring for the animals who live here. We recieve no funding from any government or corporate organizations. All donations are tax deductible, and we are a tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) organization.

• Feed for pigs, chickens, geese, and horses: $10.00 daily (more in winter)
• Hay: $15.00 per day
• Food for about 30 dogs and cats: approximately $25.00 per day
• Farrier (hoof care) for 10 horses: $130.00 every eight weeks
• Neutering one male kitten: $40.00
• One "farm call" (on-site vet visit): starts at $40.00
• Heating the dog kennels for winter: a minimum of $1,000.00
• Mortgage payment for dog kennel property: $400.00 per month

This list is very basic and does not nearly describe all of the expenses we must meet each month. Sanctuary expenses for July 2003 was $1,039. However, September donations came to only $439! As you can see from the list above, we spend over $800 each month just on food and hay. So months like September are not just disappointing; they are debilitating. Please help in whatever way you can.
