Please consider our group for your Giving Tuesday donations. :) As a small organization all donated funds go directly to the support of animals in our program. This year we have helped more than 200 dogs find homes.
For those that are able to give and/or have companies that are willing to match donations you can give in the following ways below:
Venmo: -theDogs
Paypal: [email protected]
Zelle: PM us for the Zelle info to add us as a recipient
CashApp: $4DayoftheDogs
If you can't give any funds are you able to give your time to help us out?
- If you haven't already can you please "like" this page and share dogs in need of homes when we post them.
Also if you are looking for a way to VOLUNTEER (yourself or with your family) we definitely need help! The more people that can help the more dogs we can help.
- Foster homes: In NW Indiana and the Greater Kansas City area (like dogsitting a homeless dog for someone you haven't met yet) We can provide all supplies needed: crate, food, bowls, toys etc if you don't have anything. If you already have a dog it's super easy to add another for a few days. The more that can help do this the more dogs we can save.
- Doggy Day Outs: If you can't foster, would your family be open to taking out a dog that is currently in boarding on an outing for the day? Ex. car ride for free smells, walk in a park, stroll through Home Depot, or just hang out in your yard for the day
- Dog Walker: If you don't feel comfortable taking a dog in your car you could visit our dogs in boarding and just walk them outside the facility to give them a break from the kennel environment for a bit.
- Adoption Counselor: talk to the people who apply for our dogs to learn more about them, their family and what they are looking for. We try to contact all who apply for our dogs. If the dog they want is adopted hopefully we can connect them with another one
- Transport Day Helping Hands: (1 or 2 days a month): hands to help dogs off transport, walk them, ensure we have medical paperwork etc
- Northland transport assistance: There are times when we need a dog picked up from point A and taken to point B. Ex. from transport arrival to a foster's home, or from a foster's home or boarding to a vet visit. At this time all transport needs will be north of the river
- posting dogs to adoption sites: if you or your kids are good with computers you/they can help with posting dogs to adoption sites like petfinder, adoptapet. One person is doing all of it right now and it can be overwhelming at times
- Dog Bios: If you or your kids are great at writing and want to write bios about the dogs in our care that would be a huge help.
- Social Media Guru: help with posting our dogs on social sites to get them more exposure. I only really know Facebook so I need some Instagram, Snapchat, Tik Tok folks that know how to navigate those platforms to help get our pets seen
- Fundraising Events: I know of a handful of fundraising events we could do to 1. get the name of the rescue out in the community and 2. fundraise for the organization. But since we are starting to build our KC team from the ground up I don't have enough people to do events. I'm all ears to any fundraising opportunities that you know of too.
- Community Events: We want to get a booth at a variety of community events this spring, summer and fall. But in order to do that we need more people to rotate shifts at the booth
THANK YOU in advance for helping in whatever capacity you are able. From sharing a post to lending a hand.
