Fall 2024

Give the Gift of Hope.


Dear Rescue,


From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being an essential part of The Rescue Crew family. Every day, pets in need rely on compassionate people like you to help them find safety, hope and a second chance at happiness. Whether you've opened your home to foster a pet, shared your time as a volunteer, or supported us in the past, your kindness has changed countless lives.


This holiday season, we've been excited to announce that collectively we've taken over 5,000 animals into the rescue and our plans to be moving soon to a larger facility. As we continue our mission together, I'm reaching out to invite you to show your support of The Rescue Crew this giving season. On November 21, we'll be celebrating Give to the Max Day, a powerful opportunity for our community to come together and make an extraordinary impact for animals in need. You don't need to donate financially to show your support - there are multiple ways you can make a significant impact and contribute to our life-saving mission without opening your wallet.


Thank you for being such a vital part of our family and for helping us spread the warmth and love these animals deserve. We’re grateful to have you by our side this season and every season.


With appreciation and warm holiday wishes,

Chris A. Maddox

Founder & President
