"I've donated to big-name rescues before, but Borrowed Hours actually sends me photos and updates of the specific animal my gift helped. I cried when I saw Duke's adoption photo."

Real Rescues

Your Gift in Action

Rescued & Rehomed

Duke — Puppy Mill Survivor

Found in a wire cage with infected wounds. After 4 months of Guardian-funded care, Duke was adopted by the Reyes family in Portland.

Rescued & Rehomed

Maple — Hoarding Case

One of 47 cats removed from a condemned home. Dental surgery and behavioral rehab — Guardians covered it all.

Waiting for Help

ANGEL — Active Case

ANGEL was found guarding her three dead puppies under a highway overpass in 97-degree heat. She wouldn't leave them. Rescuers had to carry her, flinching every time a door slams. Need immediate vet care and safe temporary housing. Your gift today helps them.

Questions & Answers

Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes. Borrowed Hours is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Your contribution is 100% tax-deductible. You receive an instant receipt and a year-end summary.
Can I cancel anytime?
Absolutely. Cancel with one click — no calls, no guilt. We value every month you give.
Where does my money go?
94 cents of every dollar goes to rescue, vet care, rehab, and advocacy. Just 6% covers essential operations — far below the nonprofit average.
I haven't heard of you — are you real?
We're family-run, not a household name. But we've operated since 2014, are a verified 501(c)(3), and have rescued 14,000+ animals. Our EIN and annual reports are public. Learn more →
Is the matching real?
Yes. A private family foundation committed $25,000 in matching funds. Every dollar is matched until exhausted.
How are you different from the ASPCA?
We do applied rescue — we physically go into the field for puppy mills, fighting rings, hoarding, and equine neglect. Your dollar has outsized impact here.
What if I want to make a large one-time gift?
Wonderful — please contact us directly and we'll arrange a tax-deductible one-time gift, including stock, DAF, or estate gifts. Our online flow focuses on monthly Guardians because that's how we plan long-term rescues, but every kind of gift saves lives.

Right now, an animal is waiting.
Don't look away.
