Explanation:

The text starts with an appeal to be a hero by donating to the shelter. It then explains that adoption fees cover only a small part of expenses and donations are needed for care. The final sentence "Please donate today!" clearly shows the main purpose is to inspire donations. The other options (informing about what donations provide, informing about high costs, encouraging time donation) are either details supporting the donation appeal or not mentioned (time donation).
