OBG is an all volunteer, non-profit organization.  We rely on your support and donations to help us with the costs of the care and rehabilitation of our dogs; the adoption fees do not come close to covering these expenses. This includes medical expenses, grooming, food, and kenneling (which we must do when we have more dogs than available foster homes). Donations are greatly appreciated, are tax deductible and go 100% to the cost of the dogs.

Tax Exempt 501(c)(3): On October 25, 1999, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) approved OBG, Inc.'s request for 501(c)(3) tax exempt status for non-profit organizations.  As a result, all donations are now tax deductible.  Contact us if you need specific information regarding our tax exempt status.

  Wonder Dog Fund   This fund was set up in tribute to Wonder Dog, a severely abused dog that came to OBG.   Click here for Wonder Dogs story
         

Sammy's Fund
Contributions to the Sammy Fund will go towards specific medical diagnostics and operations for our special needs dogs. Common examples of these procedures are cataract removal, ear canal surgery, removal of mammary tumors, bladder stone removal.  This fund was inspired by Sammy, who had his eyesight restored through surgery and was happily placed in a loving home






Charlotte Fund for Heartworm
Contributions to the Charlotte Fund will go specifically for heartworm pills and treatment for the OBG dogs, as well as for educational pamphlets.  Unfortunately OBG has seen many dogs come in with heartworm, which can run from $400 on up depending upon the extent of infestation and other complications. This fund was inspired by Charlotte, a darling little 3 year old who succumbed to heartworm after putting up a brave fight.

Donations of Supplies

OBG is constantly in need of the following:

If you have any of these items that you would like to donate, please contact us

 

Other Donation Options

Appreciated Securities

A gift of long-term appreciated securities (stocks, bonds) is exempt form capital gains taxes and, in the majority of cases, allows you a charitable income tax deduction of their market value. For more information, consult your financial planner or tax advisor.

Estate Gifts

Making a gift through your estate is a common way to provide a contribution to a favorite charity. In, addition, a carefully planned estate gift can reduce or eliminate federal estate taxes. For more information, consult your attorney or tax advisor.

Vehicles

OBG is constantly transporting dogs, and the donation of a good used vehicle (preferably a mini-van which can hold numerous dogs) would be of enormous help to us. If you have such a vehicle and are interested in donating it, please contact us. The donation of this vehicle, under most circumstances, would be tax deductible to you. 

If you are interested in any of these options, please feel free to contact us to discuss.
