Fostering Love

Posted by Unknown at Wednesday, January 30, 2013 0 comments
Hi everyone!

D.O.G.S has been moving along...D.O.G.S would like to reach out to those who may be interested in fostering.  This is one need from organizations that D.O.G.S is recognizing a high demand for.  Fostering an animal may be temporary, but the impact is permanent and greatly appreciated by humans and animals alike!  Please if you are interested in fostering an animal, even just for a little while and you can find room in your heart and home please contact us and we can connect with you with the many rescues and agencies that so desperately need loving homes for wonderful animals to stay while they find their forever home. :)

Who knows you may welcome a new member to your family while you are fostering.... :)





until next time!

Hello all!  :)



D.O.G.S first event was a great success!  Thanks to our lovely supporters, our family and friends, www.simplyyvonne.com for our logo, our website designer, Milen (it's in the works!), to YUM! Bakery for making D.O.G.S first benefit event amazing and look so effortlessly and of course providing the sweet treats!  D.O.G.S Board members have worked tirelessly getting things together for this event and could have not been possible without everyone's wonderful encouragement, support, friendship and most of all belief in us!  Thank you so much everyone!  Thank you to those who donated their time, items for the silent auction, big shout out to Cigna, the people there are amazingly kind to us with all their great silent auction donations.  All in all it was a successful event; we accomplished what we aimed for, which was to celebrate with our wonderful loved ones and benefit D.O.G.S.  It was a fantastic evening, thank you, thank you THANK YOU to all who collaborated with us, you are AWESOME! :)  We feel so lucky to have such supportive friends and family!  

Some highlights of the night......

Celebrate Good Times, Come On!

Hi everyone!

It's been a crazy few weeks, but here we are!  D.O.G.S is having our first benefit event this Wednesday and we are all excited for it!  We have our to do list complete *fingers crossed* and are ecstatic to get things going.  The benefit celebration will be in honor of D.O.G.S being incorporated and to share with some family and friends about D.O.G.S as well as a benefit to support our mission.  A lot goes into planning an event and we couldn't have done it without the Board and great community support!  Some things to consider when you are having your event:

  • venue
  • guest list
  • decor
  • food/beverages
  • invites (evites are FREE and reach out to many people at once)
  • prizes
  • sign in
  • thank you's
  • benefit/donation items or ideas
  • timing of invites, etc
  • extra meetings
  • budget
  • outreach material
  • visuals
  • and much more!  Good luck and have fun!


Besides the event we have been working on our IRS paper work.  You can get your 1023 IRS form here: http://www.irs.gov/Charities-&-Non-Profits/Application-for-Recognition-of-Exemption
It's a longer application then the Attorney General registration and incorporation forms.  It also requests for narratives so be prepared for it.  Also it will ask for a 4 year financial plan and narrative as well as narratives on program planning.   We recommend working with a non profit attorney to help you out.  You may find one at your local community non profits.  Over the past week we received our AG (attorney general) registration letter as well!  More information to come!  

Other great highlights of the past week, we celebrated our babies birthdays!  Leche and Jasmine turned 4 years old on January 9th.  Happy birthday my sweet babies! :)
This is them with their dad at PetCo getting a special birthday present- a new toy of course, but only Kongs!  They chew up everything else pretty good! :)

Waiting for their special birthday dinner...berries, fish and some lamb from the pet store!

Leche after his bday meal....that's my silly boy! :)


Until next time, thanks for all your support!

Woof!
