The Pit Bull Pen Dog Rescue Shoe Drive Fundraiser to help save at risk animals in our community.
YOUR help is required to save as many animals as possible during the post-Covid dog dumping season.
BENTON CITY, WA. – THE PIT BULL PEN DOG RESCUE is collecting your gently worn shoes, of all sizes and styles. We are collecting for our shoe drive fundraiser to raise funds to help save dogs in our Community at risk of abuse, neglect and death, which is especially urgent when huge numbers of dogs are being dumped post Covid. The Pit Bull Pen is working in partnership with Funds2Orgs, and the shoes will be given a second chance and will help make a difference in people’s lives around the world. In turn, The Pit Bull Pen will Earn Funds based on the total weight of the pairs of gently worn, used and new shoes collected, and will be issued a check from Funds2Orgs to help support our Life-Saving efforts.
Now, how the Shoe Drive Benefits The Pit Bull Pen. We collect Shoes, Our Goal set by World2org is 300 bags of 25 shoes which = 7,500 shoes in order for us to not pay freight. So we are collecting as many as we possibly can hoping that freight will not absorb all of our Profit. We get Paid by the Pound!!
The Rescue is focusing on finishing our conversion of an old unfinished shop to a Rescue Facility. This will allow us to house Dogs in their very own kennels with outside access, with a Quarantine Room for possible Parvo pups, a Medical Room, a Meet and Greet/Adoption room. We will be the First Rescue in Tri-Cities to have our own On-Site Facility. Right now, Trish has a certain # in her single wide, and the majority of Adult Dogs are in Foster homes.
About The Pit Bull Pen Dog Rescue
We are an all-volunteer FACILITY BASED! dog rescue that works tirelessly for the dogs in need of medical treatment, love, new homes, vaccinations, spay/neuter, training and rescue from abuse and neglect. We focus on pit bulls and power breeds, but help other dog breeds anytime we can. Community, cooperation and solutions that protect our animals are very important to our mission
Anyone who would like to donate gently worn, used and new shoes to help save animals in our community is encouraged to contact Trish at The Pit Bull Pen Dog Rescue by texting 509-579-1665, to set up a drop off time at their Benton City location or one of our many drop-off locations throughout the Tri-City area. Please check our website www.thepitbullpen.org for drop off locations around the Tri-Cities and Benton City area.
“We know that most people have extra shoes in their closets they would like to donate to us. By doing so, we raise money for dogs in need, and we have the chance to help families in developing nations who need economic opportunities. It’s a win-win for everyone.”
So take a look at the Video for Micro-enterprise to explain what happens to the shoes After the Rescue collects them.
What is a Micro-enterprise?
If you feel this is a great community project, please contact me via e-mail or phone, I am taking the Lead on reaching out to you and various businesses to set up shoe drop locations.
Thank you so much for your time!
