Can anyone tell me how many dogs Rescue Remedies have in to rehome annually? I am hatching a little plan to raise awareness and which will ultimately raise a few funds... Will reveal more later. (this only needs to be an approximation!!)

220 -250 per year

That many makes me well up Sad

especially when my dogs are lying sunbathing in the garden without a care in the world.

I thought I could do a small canvas of a different rescue dog every day of the week for a year. The project would take a year (I would do one a day but I need to br realistic) These little american canvases I get from the US have space on the back so I can write details of each dog and it's Rescue on the back. I could put an exhibition together to raise awareness , asking for a donation for entry. I would at the end auction them off (I would need to cover some costs here) but 60% could go into the Rescue? I know several auctioneers so could negotiate their fee and I think we could highlight the plight of a dog a week in Rescue being just a tip of the iceberg etc by getting some press coverage.

If I were rich I would do one a day, but needs must and it is my work and sadly work I must. Just would like to contribute!

I did run this past members on DP and discussed doing all different Rescue but the admin would be a nightmare an the proceeds would not go very far! Just kicking some ideas around.

That sounds like an excellent idea! there are dog magazines etc that would hopefully cover it too, to give it publicity?

This is a mini canvas - except I have cropped the bottom off by mistake. They only measure 6" X 4" but I think 53 of them could have an impact?

Oooops!!!

I put every day of the week for a year in my first post - I DO NOT MEAN THAT!!!! I can't work that fast!! I meant one a week for a year - ie: 52 dogs.

Shall I get started - and where do I start - what dog shall I start with? Is it ok to use ones off the site if the photos are ok or should I liaise with one of the mods??? Help!
