Cosmolo Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) (permission granted to post by Troy) As part of our 5th birthday celebration, we are having a major fundraiser for a number of Victorian rescue groups and shelters. The fundraiser will be held at Clayton South on the 28th November from 10am-1:30pm and will be a great event for everyone to attend with their dog. The event will have a range of stalls, a BBQ, Santa photos for the dogs as well as a fun dog show, the Underdog Awards for responsible dog ownership and a whole lot more!! We will also be launching Project Underdog- Christmas Wishing Tree. The Christmas Wishing Tree project will work in a similar way to the wishing trees in Kmart and Target stores that help under privileged children. The difference is that Project Underdog's trees will help dogs and cats in care with the following groups- Victorian Dog Rescue Beagle Rescue Victoria Australian Animal Protection Society Pug Rescue and Adoption Greyhound Safety Net Wishing trees will be available at PETstock South Melbourne and PETstock Ormond stores from the 25th November- 23rd December- more locations are currently being confirmed. Can't get to a location? Become a Project Underdog Elf and gifts will be collected from you or drop off points can be arranged. Please read the attached information and forward to as many people as you can. Help us to give these deserving organisations a much needed boost in what is likely to be a busy and stressful time. For any queries, please contact Tamara at [email protected] Christmas_Party_invitation.doc Edited December 21, 2010 by Cosmolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anniek Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 that would be awesome! i would love to come I will have to think of some cool prezzies to put under the tree is there anything in particular that these rescues need?? It's not just "the dogs" - I can't speak for the other rescues involved, but we are always in need of stamped envelopes (or just postage stamps) - prepaids for the mobile - photocopy paper - petrol vouchers - all sorts of admin type stuff that eats up the funds! annieK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmolo Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Trisven- that would be awesome. John and Andrea were promising to make a trip down last time we were there too! Here are a few ideas for items to place under the wishing tree Dry dog food Dry cat food dog and cat bowls dog crates and cat carriers Shampoos and conditioners Dog/ cat brushes and combs dog coats dry dog training treats treat pouches for training training tug toys for dogs fabric martingale collars cat and dog collars Really reliable recall training dvd Good quality dog leads Wet cat food Tough dog toys Cat and kitten toys Litter trays Cat bedding Dog bedding Drontal all womers for cats and dogs Advantage flea treatments Sentinel spectrum We definitely need more elves to take the wishing tree ideas into their workplaces, schools etc so let me know if you can help in that way too.

Cosmolo Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 Kirst, the shampoo would be for the dogs while in care with the rescues/ shelter. Thank you for putting up some posters- thats really great!! I think the breeders choice litter is preferred but i'm sure any would be gratefully received. It seems most of the rescues and the shelter are quite short on reasonable quality puppy food and senior food as well. Thanks puggy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
