TO HELP THEM LIVE DAY!

It’s been a rollercoaster of a ride for Texas Sporting Breed Rescue (TSBR). The past five years have posed significant financial challenges, the most severe since our establishment in 2011.
- The cost of dog food has increased by approximately 32% in the past 12 months, outpacing general inflation rates, which hovered around 8%.
- TSBR’s 2024 increase in food costs alone exceeds $5,000.
- In the last 30 days, TSBR has received 41 requests for help with food to prevent the surrender of sporting breeds to shelters. The TSBR food pantry is EMPTY. Our volunteers have personally purchased food to help owners care for and keep dogs they love.
- From 2011 to 2024, the cost of essential veterinary services has risen by approximately 76% (29.8% from 2019 to 2023), and the “rescue discount” offered by some clinics has continued to decrease due to general economic inflation affecting operational costs in veterinary practices.
- In 2011, the average monthly cost for an individual dose of heartworm prevention was around $5 to $10. Today, the price ranges from $8 to $15.

this is not just any fundraiser—it’s a lifeline for the dogs in our program.
The funds raised will directly impact our medical care, including essential services like spaying/neutering, vaccinations, heartworm prevention, critical veterinary care - and YES food.
Many dogs that enter our program require extensive treatments, such as heartworm treatment, surgeries, and other emergency care. The harsh reality is that these rising costs have significantly strained our resources and made meeting their needs increasingly more challenging without support from events like Give to Help Them LIVE Day(North Texas Giving Day).
