One voucher can feed 300 dogs and cats

A NT$3,600 voucher can also help 60 dogs and cats get their vaccines, 12 canines and felines get micro chipped, one female and one male dog get neutered, and buy nine outfits to keep the animals warm during the winter, according to Animal Rescue Team Taiwan.

“Because we are a nonprofit organization, it is often difficult to fund our efforts to help stray dogs and cats in Taiwan,” explains Antony Ni, a volunteer of the Kaohsiung-based rescue team. “Just last year, we spent about NT$8 million in rescue efforts, medical fees, neutering, and other services for stray animals.”

“We want to encourage people to use their vouchers for a good cause and consider donating them to animal rescue organizations like ours so we can in turn help more stray animals in Taiwan,” he said. “People can rest assured that all the money they donate to us will go to helping the animals.”

More information on how to donate is available at the organization's Web site: www.savedogs.org. Everyone who sends in a donation to the organization receives a receipt, which they can use for tax write-offs, noted Ni.
