Our annual Shoebox Appeal is underway - all donations gratefully accepted!
If you've not been involved before, what we're trying to do is provide a local rescue with a pile of shoeboxes filled with presents for the various foster and rescue dogs.
The rescues get swamped with unwanted dogs and puppies around Christmas, which usually come with absolutely nothing -
so this gives them a little box of stuff of their own.
Anything dog related can be donated, the list on the poster is just a guide for the basics.
We know filling a whole box can be expensive, so we also take in individual items (eg a ball or a bag of treats) which can then be added together to make a box.
It doesn't have to be a shoebox - any size box is fine, or a stocking, gift bag, carrier bag - whatever takes your fancy! If you'd like to wrap or decorate it please do - all we ask is that we can still open the box / bag to check contents / add extras to it if we have any.
If anyone who isn't local would like to contribute, you can send us a donation to buy things on your behalf, or you can post items to the shop and we'll box them up and take them to the rescue - if sending things via post or direct from Amazon, please address them to "The Dog House shoebox appeal" so we know what they're for!
Thanks as always to everyone who contributes - the shoeboxes have been great fun in previous years, with families making boxes together, and people doing them as a group at work / social groups!
Please do share the poster on your pages & groups, and print it off for your windows and notice boards!
If any businesses would like to make a donation, let us know and we'll put a thank-you up on our page with some information about you and a link to your business page!
We take in dog-related donations all year round, so if you have any used collars, harnesses, toys, beds etc please do pop them by!
Shop address and opening hours are on the poster! ❤
