Rainrescue Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 I just thought I would ask all the members on here if they can think of any way of raising some funds for our rescue group. As some of you may know - Rain Rescue gets dogs out of pounds on their destruction day - ie the 8th day. We drive them round the country to safe rescue places. I raise money to run the van. This is currently costing £200 - £250 per week. No mean feat. The slow down of adoptions this year, especially after the rottweiler incident, and the lead up to christmas - means there are more and more dogs being dumped in the pounds, and fewer and fewer dogs being adopted out of the rescues we move them to - so we have to look further afield. Can any of you think of ways that we can increase the funds coming in? We run a lottery on site for a £5.00 donation per month, we accept Paypal on the site, place collection tubbs in safe places, and have a newsletter which is almost ready for the winter edition. Personally I don't get the time to stand and collect cos i am either looking after dogs, on the net or driving. (what a life). So - any ideas would be appreciated?

Rainrescue Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 thanks you 2 for your kind offers. the problem is organising things like those takes time and when you have 8 rescue dogs in as well as all the other stuff that goes with it - i just don't have the time or the energy left to do itall myself. Vacancy for fund raiser could go down couldn't it. Unpaid long hours, but loads of reward in cuddles and licks. think it will work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
