Let’s reflect on our responsibility to all animals. Dogs, with their wagging tails and soulful eyes, remind us of our deep connection to the non-human world. Their joy, fear, love, and curiosity make it clear that animals have rich inner lives, experiencing the world in their own unique ways. This understanding extends beyond dogs to all creatures. Each animal, from the smallest insect to the largest whale, has their own perspective and deserves our respect and care. For homeless dogs, sterilization and vaccination are acts of compassion. These practices prevent suffering, control populations humanely, and protect both animal and human health. By choosing adoption over breeding, we give loving homes to dogs in need and reduce the strain on shelters. Today, let’s commit to treating all animals with kindness. Whether in our homes, on the streets or wildlife, they enrich our world and remind us of the beauty and diversity of life on Earth.

🐰🐹Did you know that this week was Animal Shelter Appreciation Week? 🐶🐱 Well, now let's show some appreciation for the incredible work they/you do! If you're an animal rescue or shelter, you might feel like your funding is shaky, unreliable, and that tomorrow is never guaranteed. You are so not alone!  Did you know that #AnimalShelters and #SPCAs are under immense financial strain, relying heavily on private donations to cover the costs of abandoned pets as municipal funding and philanthropy continues to fall short. I know, it's heavy. But it's not doomed. Things are changing, with movements like #OneHealth getting people to see the interconnection between the work they do for animals and how it also supports the overall community. 👉 If you'd like to learn more about how these essential organizations have a special set of fundraising limitations, read the article here: https://vist.ly/3mkjq7r Who is your favorite animal rescue or shelter and why? Show them some love in the comments, I would love to learn about their work! #AnimalShelterAppreciationWeek #AnimalWelfare #AnimalRights #AnimalProtection #FortheAnimals #Pets #Fundraising #FundraisingConsultant

Did you know? Each year, we find loving homes for hundreds of desert tortoises who can't return to the wild due to disease risks. These amazing animals make unique pets and give you a special connection to desert wildlife. By adopting, you're also helping to protect wild populations: https://bit.ly/3oslhr4 Not ready to adopt?

LOVE this example of a peer-to-peer campaign for animals: take notes everyone 🗒️ One of my clients, Australian Animal Protection Society launched their annual "Snores for Paws" event, where staff and volunteers come together to spend a night in the kennels with the pups 🐕 Here are a few of the things about this peer-to-peer campaign that I love: ☑️The activity is cause-related and mission-aligned: living the dogs' experience is a powerful message. ☑️ Each ambassador will participate in a collective event at the end: great team building opportunity! ☑️ Their fundraising objective has a concrete project: purchasing a transport van 🚐 ☑️ There are incentives to donate, supporting ambassadors in their efforts (a trip to the Hayman Islands 🏝️😍) ☑️They have mobilized many ambassadors (44!), including sponsors, to reach their objective. If you are thinking of launching a peer-to-peer campaign, these are some of the things you need to plan BEFORE launching the campaign: 1️⃣ A long list of ambassadors 2️⃣ Matching donors or sponsors 3️⃣ Incentives or mobilizing activities to boost participation 4️⃣ A concrete objective attached to your fundraising goal I was happy to support Megan Benton, the AAPS Executive Director, in reaching her objective and hopefully winning a trip to a tropical island 🤞! If ever you want to support this campaign and help some Australian pups, I invite you to donate at the link in the comments below ⬇️
