#PetCharityDonations Puppy Pack Winners

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

The puppy pack entries seem to have just flown by. I really enjoyed the tips our readers have left for fostering dogs and for adopting a new family member. Thanks for everyone who participated in this activity. Your tips were terrific! So good, in fact, that I'd like to share a few of the gems:

• My favorite tip for acclimating a new pet to your home is to use the scents of security blanket, by RitaMeow.
• Pay attention to your puppy's nuances, by Jaime Leigh Martin.
• Give puppy time to acclimate! Patience is key. Remember that the environment is filled with new sights, sounds, smells, from Carly Smith.
• Teach your dog that you will be coming back by leaving for only short times at first and build up to longer times, from Bunniker.

I've collected three packages of goodies for three lucky adoptive puppies. There are treats for training, leashes, harnesses and pee pads. A New Beginning will be so thrilled to see us again. They were very excited to receive the new dog crate we delivered on June 22 on behalf of an anonymous winner. We have very generous readers!

Todays 3 winners are Abby C. Samantha D. and Michelle C. I'll be in touch via AllThingsDogBlog@gmail.com. Please watch your inbox and your spam file for my message. Thank you again to everyone who joined in entering to win these donated materials for a new adoptive family. I know the new pet parents will be grateful. 

Watch for our next #PetCharityDonation event, coming soon: Treats, treats and more treats!

Thanks much,

Products being donated are either conference swag, unrequested review products or items we are unable to review. There has been no compensation to All Things Dog Blog for these products or donations. All donations will go to shelters, rescues and foster families.

Win to Donate 3 Puppy Packages: #PetCharityDonations

Buffer

Our first effort at a #PetCharity Donations giveaway was extremely successful, due largely to your generosity. Thank you for caring about shelters, rescues and foster families! If you missed this new feature, please read all about it at the link above.

Oliver and I delivered the dog crate to our local Petfinder shelter, A New Beginning, on Sunday. This shelter is where we adopted our Xena and our Patches. We took the photo below in front of several crates full of Wheaton Terrier/Poodle puppies that were absolutely to die for. It took all the resistance I could summon to walk out without one!

Large Crate Delivery June 22, 2014

Next up for our shelter donations is a 3-pack of Puppy Kits. Each will be unique, but will include items of importance to each household with a puppy. The assortment will include harnesses, pee pads, leashes, bowls and treats in various sizes for small to larger puppies. In addition, we'll be handing off some gently-used items for use within the shelter, such as collars, cones, and more.

You can enter to win these prize packages for delivery in your name. As you'll see in the photo above, the crate was presented with a label. Your name can be placed on this label if you wish, making this gift a proud example of your philanthropic side. 

Entries will be accepted through Thursday, July 10 with the winner being announced on Friday, July 11. The delivery will be made at an upcoming adoption day following the announcement. 

To enter, use the Rafflecopter entry form found at the bottom of this post. If it's not on duty, you may need to send out a Come Command by clicking the title of this post to call it to you. It works well; enjoy your entries. Thank you for entering!
