SAVING STRAYS, TOGETHER
The work we do with your help wouldn't be "pawsible" without the dedication of local rescuers in Bosnia, who we call our "Rescue Partners."
Our Rescue Partners (RPs) provide the "boots-on-the-ground" support to the homeless dogs of Bosnia. We at The Tanzie Project (TTP) are proud of the work we all do together, and in the spirit of that pride, we want to showcase these “pawesome” people!
Our Rescue Partners are either people we have personally met or worked with in Bosnia, or who have been referred to us and have been vetted through our application process. We require a binding support agreement with our RPs that outlines specific procedures, timelines, and financial reporting requirements that must be met at all times. This ensures we are providing the best possible support to Bosnian animals while at the same time being good stewards of our supporters’ generous donations.
Any agreement in which an RP is found not to be in compliance will be nullified, and TTP will no longer support the RP’s efforts.
To learn more about our relationships and efforts with Rescue Partners, please read our Disclaimer and Release of Liability.
* DISCLAIMER:
We know our supporters place the utmost trust in our handling of donations, and we aim to be transparent in all aspects of our mission. While most requests for financial support will be through an official TTP fundraiser, sometimes TTP cannot provide all the support a rescuer needs for their animals. As a result, we advise Rescue Partners to post rescue-support fundraisers on their personal social media pages. While we do not want to discourage donating to these fundraisers, we want to make it clear that we can not provide any charitable donation tax documentation, nor verify your donation goes to a directly supported program, for donations sent to these individual fundraisers.
While we do encourage our supporters’ interaction with our Rescue Partners, they should not solicit supporters for donations or other financial support directly on behalf of TTP, whether by social media, phone, email, or any other means.
If you ever feel you’ve been solicited directly for monetary support in this manner, please notify us immediately.
