Hi All,
Hope everyone is
staying warm, including your pets! Admit it, you know you’re turning up the
heat and pulling out the pet sweaters- we know we are!
Thank you everyone for your help at past and future Santa
Paws events! These are great fun for everyone involved- the one on the 7th
was a great success- *five* dogs were adopted at Bay Street (thanks Jill
for spearheading this!) and countless pets and kids (!) sat on Santa’s lap for
a donation.
We’ve also had great success with cat adoptions this week-
our buddy Rasputin went home and kittens are flying out of here. This is
unusual and wonderful for December! This week we also participated in a rescue
mission sending tons and tons of little dogs to Idaho- check out the video
here.
Couple fundraising opportunities to share: we’ve got
some very cool photo cards that are perfect for office fundraising/tree
decorating. If your office is into donating, holler at us and we’ll share
details. We’ve also got our Amazon wishlist
for those who prefer giving to pets in need- personally, I think donating is an
awesome way to give. Another cool thing to do is foster- dogs or cats
don’t understand holidays, but we know they love warm beds!
Volunteer ops: I don’t have a lot of things to share right
now- it’s always a little slow in December. We’ve got quite a few marketing
research projects if you’re into that- they can be done at home- and we’re
looking for a marketing intern for winter/spring semester, preferably a
college student. If you know anyone who might be interested, info here.
Share widely- this is a great opportunity for someone who wants to learn
nonprofits and practice their skills!
Thanks, everyone- your contributions are greatly
appreciated!!
Lauren
