Building Fund - Raised to Date:  $1,421.00

Dear Friends of Texas Rustlers,

When Tony and Julia Hinrichs founded Texas Rustlers Guinea Pig Rescue in 2001, they began the organization in their home with aspirations of one day moving the operation into a separate building equipped with meeting areas, warehouse space, and room to house the many guinea pigs the rescue cares for under one roof. For the past eight years it has been simply a dream. Now it has become a vital necessity in order to keep the rescue alive.

Recently, after eight months of doctor visits and numerous tests, Tony was diagnosed with a malignant pancreatic endocrine tumor. He pursued treatment and surgery, and is now in a long recuperative process. The guinea pig rescue cannot continue to operate in Tony and Julia’s home, as they simply cannot do it alone, and need your help.

Volunteers have taken in additional foster animals, but we have stopped taking in new guinea pig surrenders until we are through this tough time. Although this has helped, it is not a long term solution, as animals need to be at the rescue in order to be adopted. Because of this need, we have searched for a commercial property in which all the animals can live, where we can conduct adoptions and sell supplies, and our wonderful staff of volunteers can maintain a positive atmosphere in order to continue our mission. We have found that place, and we are now asking for your help to help maintain it.

Would you be willing to commit to a monthly tax-deductible donation in order for us to maintain a lease and operate from the new facility? If all our supporters, from regular supplies customers to Hoedown attendees, gave just a few dollars a month, we would be able to fulfill not only Tony and Julia’s dreams, but the dreams of all our dedicated volunteers. Our fundraising goal for the first year is $2,000 per month. If we do not meet our fundraising goal, we are fearful we will have to cease operations, including the sale of supplies. We want to continue that, and want to begin again taking in additional guinea pigs.

Although the amount may seem like a lot, if just 100 patrons donate just $20 each per month, our goal will be met! Alternatively, since times are tough for many, a one-time donation is also welcome, and a mail-in Monthly Commitment Form or PayPal button is provided above for your convenience. We have continued our operations during the shortfalls of the current recession without hesitation, but the time has come to ask for help. 

If you would like to set up a monthly donation for 12 months please use "Subscribe" button; otherwise, use "Donate" button for other donation options; or mail in our Monthly Commitment Form. Thank you for your help and kind consideration!

Kids Find a Way to Help!
My name is Aurora and I am 8 y.o.  I found your website on-line and really like the work that you do.  I love guinea pigs and want to open a rescue when I get older.  I am against pet stores that sell resident animals (especially guinea pigs)!!!!!!  Today at school, we raised $84.20 at a bake sale in honor of your rescue and the work that you do.  We donated to your site.
Sincerely, Aurora, Kylie, Isabella and Ella, and all of Room 8

Kids Can Contribute!

Texas Rustlers wishes to extend a huge “Thank You!” to the Clayton Yes! Enrichment Center at Walker Creek Elementary School in North Richland Hills.  Together they collected vinegar, paper towels, copy paper, Expo markers, and various cleaning items to help us maintain our Lewisville operations. Through the Slant 45 community needs program, Director Shelly Valdez organized the project with help from her many guinea pig fans at Clayton.  Thank you so much for your efforts!

PLEASE REMEMBER: All adopters need an approved application on file and must schedule an appointment.  The reason: we need to be sure the guinea pigs you want to meet are at our new rescue location when you come, not out at their foster homes, and that we have enough adoption volunteers available to serve you.  Thank you!
