Ways To Help

There are MANY ways you can help Bluebonnet Animal Rescue using just your phone, tablet, computer, or other smart device! Here are a few to consider:

  • Support Bluebonnet Animal Rescue Network when you shop or sell on eBay, thanks to the eBay for Charity program. First, personalize your shopping experience to benefit our organization by making us your Favorite charity on eBay. Next, you will automatically see Bluebonnet Animal Rescue Network as your preferred charity in eBay checkout. Last but not least, you can easily sell your used items and donate from 10% to 100% of your sales to benefit us. Not only will we receive 100% of your donation, but eBay will waive your Final Value Fees to the extent you donate…AND you get the tax credit. Visit our charity page today and be part of a growing eBay community that has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to thousands of charities.
  • Support Bluebonnet when you shop on Amazon. Go to smile.amazon.com, select Bluebonnet Animal Rescue Network as your charity, then shop as usual. The AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price from your eligible AmazonSmile purchases. (The purchase price is the amount paid for the item minus any rebates and excluding shipping & handling, gift-wrapping fees, taxes, or service charges.) It's a TINY amount -- just pennies on many purchases, but with lots of people shopping through Amazon Smile, those pennies add up! In 2018, we received quarterly disbursements totaling $418 for the year. That's enough to spay or neuter 2 dogs, and it came at no cost to our supporters OR to us -- just the result of the shopping our supporters would be doing anyway.
  • Check out our Amazon WishList for items that can be shipped directly to us.
  • "Like" us and share our posts on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.
  • Create a Facebook fundraiser benefiting Bluebonnet -- for your birthday or to help support a special case such as the injured dogs that we sometimes take care of as part of our commitment to be a good neighbor in our local community.
  • Talk to your employer about matching donation programs. Bluebonnet Animal Rescue Network is approved by Benevity, which manages the charitable giving/employer match programs for more than 200 corporations with more than 3 million employees. We may already be approved by your employer, and if not, we can usually provide any information necessary to GET approved so that your personal donations go even further. Some employers match your charitable giving dollar for dollar, so it's worth asking!
