As most of you know, October is "Adopt a
Shelter Pet" month!! As you might remember, Jakey and I, Arty, are shelter pets. We both want to make sure Rosy, along with efurryone, is aware of the many shelter doggies who not only need homes, but could use our help in many other ways!
No Tricks, Just Treats for Shelters!
This
year we will be holding our Third Annual Blog Hop/Fundraiser from
October 27th thru October 29th(Friday through Sunday). We
will be donating $1 for everyone who links up to the hop with your
Halloween post letting us know how you have helped (or plan on helping) a
shelter near you!
That's right, just show us how you are enjoying Halloween and how you
helped (or are going to help) a shelter near you and link up to the hop.
First of all, if you are looking for a new pet, consider adopting a Shelter or Rescue Organization Pet! Here are some ways we have helped in the past:
1. It is starting to get cold outside, gather up and donate any gently used blankies, towels and sheets to your local shelter.
2.
Next time your Mama is buying you foodables, ask her to pick up(or order) an
extra bag (or a few extra cans) to donate to your local shelter.
3. Do you have a toy maybe you didn't like, but some other doggy might, put it in a pile to donate to a shelter.
4. Many shelters have "wish
lists" on their websites. Check and see if your shelter has one and see
if there is anything you or your peeps might have around the house you
can donate.
5. Do you know about Amazon Smile? Every time you make an eligible purchase from Amazon Smile a portion of the proceeds goes to the charity of your choice. Click HERE to learn more!
6. One of the ways we are helping is by donating $1 for every link to the Treats for Shelters Blog Hop to the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter (where we adopted Arty and Jakey). We will also be donating
50 cents for every comment here at Da DB Boyz from October 27th through October 29th. We will split the money raised from commenting between two of Blogville's favorite rescues; Legacy Boxer Rescue(where Casey and Jessie were before they went to their furr-ever homes) and Marg's Animals, Marg helps keep kitties(and two very cute donkeys) safe!
Remember...All you have to do is write Halloween post October 27th through October 29th letting us know how you are helping or planning to help YOUR local Shelter then link up to our Blog Hop OR just make sure to stop by and leave us a comment!

All three of us kitties are from a rescue and I was born in the Irving shelter.
ReplyDeleteLast oct when you did this, I took blankets to Bishop Animal Shelter, thanks for the reminder.. and I do the amazon smile every time I order... we have never had a dog that was not a rescue... 2 from the street, 2 from shelters.
ReplyDeleteWe're happy to help shelter pets. We always use amazon smile.

Miss O thinks this is brilliant! We don't have a shelter around here. We do have Animal Protection and any animals needing a new home go to foster homes first before trying to find a forever home. So, that's where Miss O stayed for a while before coming to live with me and Brom.

I LOVE this idea! Kudos to you. I wasn't aware Arty and Jakey were shelter pups but this is a terrific way to continue supporting shelter dogs.
ReplyDeleteOur kitties are all from the shelter. Sometimes I think I know why Bert ended up there, but he too deserves the home he tricked Mom into giving him.
ReplyDeleteBravo, what a super duper event!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great cause! Our shelter gets lots of food donations cuz we have a dog food plant in Ogden BUTT mom says we will be taking toys to the shelter again!

Well...we don't do bloghops, but we do take old sheets and towels to our local shelter, and there is a food bin outside the supermarket. And we did send them some grooming tools that were listed on their wish list.
ReplyDeleteWe give our Amazon Smile to a basset Rescue in Houston. It is close to where we are planning to move and Mom wants to start volunteering there. I love your Trick or Treat for shelters!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great event. We will have to come up with something to participate.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great thing to do to help! We use amazon smile and ours goes to the Pug Rescue in Idaho
