Donations

Rescuing Animals In Nassau(RAIN), Humane Society, SPCA is an independent, unaffiliated 501c3 non- profit.   We receive NO funding from any government agency and NO money from any national animal welfare organization.   This is why we urge you to show your love and support to our noble cause. Because of generous donations, RAIN  is able to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home animals in Nassau County and its surrounding areas.   We have also implemented many community outreach programs which include an educational program into our local community school system, both public and private.   We teach responsible pet ownership, and the importance of spay/neuter along with following the laws pertaining to animals.  Our RAIN Train Transport Program has assisted Nassau  County Animal Services with saving hundreds of animals’ lives yearly, in conjunction with Operation RAIN Drop Low-cost Spay/Neuter Program, preventing hundreds of unwanted pets from euthanasia.   With your donations, you can help make a difference to the animals of our great county. There are many ways to help support RAIN Humane Society.  All funding for RAIN is by private donation from individuals, businesses, trusts, foundations, grants; bequests; special events; and from our Paws-Ability Resale Shop.
