purple_mog Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Hey all - Phoebeeeee's very organised SS thread reminded me to post this one to see if anyone else would like to help me co-ordinate it? Idea was similar to SS but rescues could nominate some of their dogs or fosters to receive Xmas parcels (wiccaweys, dogstar, oldies club etc?) Oh, and if anyone reading is from such organisations could you say if you like the idea? Mog x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lil_angel Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) Ive asked the committee for Oldies Club at present the consensus is we like the idea and would happilly nominate our sponsor dogs to receive SS parcels.

purple_mog Posted October 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I suspect it might be someone who can check the official emails with me and answer questions on the Refuge as I'm not always able to reply a lot during the day? and *yay* to Oldies Club!

BillyMalc Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) I think it's a great idea! I'll happily donate, and be told what to do to help. If it's anything but a p*ss up in a brewery I'm at a loss when it comes to organising (funnily enough there isn't much calls for organising p*ss ups in breweries!), but I'll happily move if people want to tell me what and where to Edited October 2, 2009 by BillyMalc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purple_mog Posted October 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Okay! We have a gmail account set up - if you'd like to help please email: secret.rescue.santa @ googlemail.com Next step is to ask any rescues if they would like to nominate any of their dogs (I was thinking a maximum of 5 dogs per organisation?). So far Oldies Club has said they are interested, suggest we could contact Wiccaweys, Dogstar, HWAR, LRSEC, other suggestions please? Also if anyone would like to BE a secret santa - please send an email to: secret.rescue.santa @ googlemail.com telling us your: forum name real name how many secret santa parcels you would like to send (£5 suggested value each) Once we have nominated recipients we will magically match everyone up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zico's mum Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Thanks for organising,maybe a list of what items rescues would like (and what they wouldn't as well)in the parcels could be added too? Look forward to shopping for these goodies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackmagic Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) A note of what each dog likes/dislikes would be helpful, as some may not like squeaky toys, or may not like toys at all, or like soft toys or only able to eat certain treats.

Laura_E Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Just sent my email to be a secret santa I know I shouldn't say this, but I do hope that Ike is one of the dogs that gets drawn from Wiccaweys. I know that they are all deserving, but his story always makes me sad and he seems like the perfect dog too, I can't believe he hasn't been rehomed yet.
