Home Again Animal Rescue raised $14,000 during their recent Give Back Raffle.
President and volunteer Christine Walker said they started the raffle last year after they received some money and decided to use it as a nest egg, to pay for prizes for an annual raffle.
“This is the second year and both years have been quite successful, and we’re hoping to be able to realize its full potential as each year goes by,” she said.
Walker said the raffle could bring in around $30,000 of revenue each year.
She estimated that about 97 per cent of the rescue’s expenses are veterinarian bills, which usually add up to about $120,000 per year.
Raffle proceeds could be a reliable financial boost each year.
Also coming up this week is the fifth year of the Betty White challenge, which encourages people to donate to an animal shelter or rescue in memory of the famous actress.
