11 Ways to Donate To The Bond Between

through our site, PayPal, Venmo or GiveMN!

1

Donate Money

Any amount is appreciated and your donation is 100% tax deductible! Many companies will match their employees’ donation – ask your employer if they can double your impact with a donation match!


Here's How Your Donation Can Help:
$20 - Offsets a vaccination or microchipping expense.
$50 - Helps 10 dogs and cats receive their monthly preventatives.
$100 - Subsidizes the cost of a spay or neuter surgery and aftercare.
$250 - Pays for dental work on dogs and cats who have painful, infected mouths.
$500 - Allows travel to states with major overpopulation problems and saves around 40 lives


For donations under $250, the IRS does not require donors to obtain a written acknowledgment from a charity before you claim a charitable contribution on your federal income tax return. For check and cash donations made to The Bond Between, there may be a 2-3 week delay in receiving an acknowledgment/receipt. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have an urgent need, please email communications@thebondbetween.org.

We're always in need of crates, canned and dry food, cat litter potty pads, and more. We are now able to accept donated medications.

 

View our wish list for items we're most in need of right now!  Donations can be dropped off during office hours or mailed to our office at:

5959 Baker Road, Suite 390, Minnetonka, MN 55345.

Sponsor a Rescue Animal

At The Bond Between, our animal sponsors allow us to keep saying YES to lives in need! Not everyone is aware of the expenses that go into rescuing an animal. The Bond Between provides all medical care for the animals in our rescue, as well as food, crates, toys, bowls, treats, collars and leashes. The price tag to care for an animal in our program can add up quickly. If you would like to sponsor an animal, we will email you a Certificate of Sponsorship with their name and photo on it. If your donation exceeds the amount necessary for the care of that animal, your donation will be used toward a similar furry friend!

Unfortunately, we do not have the bandwidth to provide updates for sponsored animals and sponsoring an animal does not give you first priority to adopt that animal.

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and all donations are tax-deductible. Sponsoring a dog or cat is a great way to get involved if you are unable to foster. For other ways to help, please check out the other fun activities that benefit our rescue!

If you would like to donate in honor of or in memory of someone (a human or an animal), your donation will assist us in continuing our mission. A handwritten card recognizing your donation will be sent to the person/honoree from us on your behalf, and you will receive a separate acknowledgment of your gift via email or letter. To make an in-honor/in-memory donation through our site, scroll to the top of this page to our donation form, select the fund you want to donate to, and check the "in honor/in memory box" to fill out the proper information. Tribute notifications take about two weeks to process. The notification recipient will get a card or an email message sent to the address/email provided.
