Do you love dogs and cats? Are you sad you can’t
foster? Do you feel helpless and wish
there was a way you could help? Well there are LOADS of ways you can help every one of them
as important as fostering, probably in lot’s of respects MORE important.
Home checking
We desperately need more home checkers in more areas. This
is the most important part of our process the report and detail a home checker
can give is essential for the trustees
to be happy that the home the dog is going to is the right forever home. We
sometimes struggle to get homes checked quickly enough because there aren’t
many people available to check. It’s honestly easy to go and talk to someone
who really wants to share their home with a four paws dog, and most of the time
it’s like having a really pleasant hour with a new friend. We really need your help to get our dogs the
sofa they deserve!
Meet and Greets
These are an essential part of getting our information out
to people who have never heard of us. We are looking to increase the number of
venues we attend, but desperately need people to volunteer and lead the events.
We are looking at two-hour quick sharp events that don’t tie up too much of
people’s precious time. Specialist skills required, just holding a tin and
handing out leaflets, fosterers will come along and provide the dogs for people
to see and hopefully apply to re-home.
Paws for Tea

Another essential fundraising activity these are held
monthly in a variety of venues. They normally last about two and a half hours and if you can come
along buy a raffle ticket and a cake that’s good, but even better if you can
man a stall, or bake or help with the setting up and pulling down, or perhaps
you have a craft you enjoy that you would like a stall for and could share your
profit with us, we would love to hear from you. We are trying to think of new
ways to keep the P4T events fresh and exciting so if you have an idea no matter
how far out and think you know how it could be achieved please Four Paws needs
you!
Events
We go to loads of shows over the year to increase awareness
and provide funds; we could attend more if we had more volunteers willing to
man the stall. It’s not hard work but it is essential and it gets the word out
about the rescue and the important work we all do alongside our everyday
activities, and the dogs we help.
Street collections.
Something we are really keen to get into to generate much
needed funds and spread the word further. We’ve applied for licences in
Cardiff, Whitchurch, Blackwood and Caerphilly but we will need volunteers to
man them, we aren’t looking for you to tie up a whole day just two hours and
that time is essential part of allowing Four Paws animal rescue to continue.
Ideas
We bet you have hundreds of them and your shouting at the
computer saying what about ... well share them with us. We need the ideas as
well events such as Clairvoyant night and Karaoke night are really popular we
need people to make them happen. Four Paws needs you.
Donations
We bet you have cupboards full of things that we could sell,
things that you don’t want or need that people would love to buy. If you
haven’t got any time to give us we would LOVE to have these items for our
raffles, stalls, auctions and car boot sales. Non-perishable human and dog food
and drinks of any description are also high on our lists for tombola’s raffles
and stalls. So go on have a search through and find things that will help the
dogs that find themselves through no fault of their own, needing our care.
So there are loads of ways you can support us. Which one
will you choose!
