Doggie Sweater in the Window?

Help with turning secondhand goods into treasures for sale.  Become the coordinator for this terrific idea. Gather donations from businesses and people of gently used animal clothing, people sweaters and t-shirts (please make sure they are gently used as they will be cut to make clothes for animals), collars, halters, leases or anything dog/cat related.  Recruit volunteers that are willing to help wash, sew and help at the store front part of the shelter.

If you would like to help the animals at the shelter but aren't interested in cleaning and walking then this is for you.  We are always in need of volunteers to organize events and help raise money.  Below are some ideas to help with this.  If interested please sign up for one of the positions and it will be yours to manage.  Training will be provided for the one you are interested in.  By volunteering for these positions, it will allow me more time at the rescue.  Thank you for helping!

Quilt Coordinator

Make an animal-lover’s quilt!  Ask your friends to decorate each fabric square with an animal protection message. Ask a local crafts store if they’d like to donate fabric.  If you decide to do this project, you will be in charge of the whole thing and will have to recruit your helpers.  Below are some ideas for animal protection messages:

If you want to test cosmetics, why do it on some poor animal that hasn't done anything?
If slaughterhouses had glass walls, we would all be vegetarian
Many of animals know you by your soul but very few humans do
Respect the animals
Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened
An animal's eyes have the power to speak a great language
A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere
You can always tell about somebody by the way they put their hands on an animal
Healing hearts one paw at a time

These are just a few ideas. Your volunteers can use some of their own thoughts.  Have fun!
