It would be like winning the lottery for that shelter! $275,000 can make a huge difference. It will mean they can do building work, or build an annexe/new kennels...etc.
Even if we don't have very much to offer we can all still help local shelters and Rescues. My local Rescue is always grateful for small offerings. A pile of old newspapers....a few old sheets....and some food. I always get a couple of things for the Rescue when I go to do my grocery shopping. It might only be a couple of cans of good dog food, or a packet of biscuits, or cat food pouches, etc. Then I collect them all up in two separate boxes. One is labelled "CATS" and one "DOGS". When I have the boxes more or less filled, I drive them up to the Rescue, only about 6 miles away. I also add any things which Sally is too fussy to eat! Or I'll give those things to the feral cats who appreciate them.
