Ratbone Rescues is a rescue group dedicated to helping save Rat Terriers all over the United States & Canada.
Here at Rat-Terrier.com we LOVE them and do everything that we can to help. 
All of our wonderful members here at RT.com have decided to help raise money to donate to Ratbone Rescues. It will be donated in one lump sum from our site as a whole.
Janie (Rattagan'sMom) has so kindly volunteered to be our "Ratbone Rescues Fundraiser Treasurer" or basically the person that is in charge of collecting all the money and making sure it gets in the right hands!
If you would like to help us raise money, here is how you do it....
Click the button below and you will be sent directly to our PayPal account where you can donate any amount that you choose.
**UPDATE--this fundraister has ended**
If for some reason you are not comfortable donating money online through PayPal you can send a PM to Janie (by clicking on her username above) and let her know that you want to send her a donation through snail mail and she will give you her mailing address. She is also accepting donation's that way.
Our goal is to reach $200-$250 as a group so lets meet that goal! 
Janie has posted below how much money we have collected and will continue to update that amount as we raise more money.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this! Think of all the Rat Terriers that we will be saving!! Yay!!

I just donated $125 (I had to do the $25 amount five times). So, we're over $200. Let's go for $300. And God bless Ratbone Rescue for what they do. |

Oh my goodness, you are an ANGEL!! Thank you!
If anyone wants to make a larger donation than the links that I have, just send me a PM and let me know and I will change the amount so that you don't have to pay more than once and so that PayPal can't take out so much for transaction costs. |

My pleasure. I have a wonderful rattie, Lucy, who is honestly the light of my life. I know how great these dogs are and want them to all find good homes. I'd love to have another one but Lucy is so possessive and jealous, she would never accept it. So, I an honored to help in other ways. |

The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too

WOW! You guys are SUPER! When you set your sites on a goal, there's nothing that can stand in your way!
So many dogs will be helped by your generous giving! As a volunteer for this wonderful organization, I witness the need of the countless dogs who are in need of rescue. I also witness the numerous volunteers who give of their time, their energy, and yes, their own finances to help out as many dogs as they can.
What you guys are doing by taking up donations helps reaffirm our mission, and it means so much to us knowing that you support us in our endeavors!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

Probably not a lot, we get a lot of mail everyday anyway. Mostly junk or bills until now.

You guys are amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you! to each and every one of you! It's so hard to say no to those beautiful rattie eyes, begging for a place of their own. Your generous support, both monetary and otherwise, will help us find the best homes for every of them that we can rescue. God bless you all for your generosity!
