About the Crappiest Valentine Fundraiser Ever

DESCRIPTION:
Finding Shelter Animal Rescue created a unique Valentine's Day fundraiser called the "Crappiest Valentine Ever," where for a $10 donation, individuals could have their ex's name written on a dog poo bag. This whimsical and slightly vengeful act aimed to help participants metaphorically dispose of their past relationships while supporting the shelter. The donations collected from this fundraiser cover the costs of medical care, food, and supplies for the dogs under the care of Finding Shelter.
Like other inventive fundraisers including "Line the Litter Box with Your Ex," and "Cry me a Cockroach," this campaign creatively combines fundraising with community engagement, albeit it's not a widespread trend among animal rescue charities. If you're a dog fan with a nasty ex, check out Homeward Bound's "Neuter your Ex" fundraising campaign. For a donation, they'll spay or neuter a feral cat in your ex's name.
Finding Shelter Animal Rescue's mission is to raise public awareness about the plight of animals and the benefits of adopting homeless animals in need of forever, loving care. They emphasize responsible pet ownership and ensure that all animals in their care are spayed or neutered, fully vaccinated, and medically treated before adoption. Their goal is to make the best match possible between animals and adopters, carefully screening potential adopters to achieve this.
In the United States, approximately 6.5 million companion animals are estimated to enter US animal shelters annually. This number includes dogs and cats, with a relatively even split. However, these numbers can vary from year to year and depend on various factors, including efforts in spaying/neutering, adoption campaigns, and public awareness programs to reduce the number of homeless pets.
Creative fundraising efforts are popular among zoos, aquariums, and animal charities, leveraging a mix of humor and the universal experience of dealing with past relationships to generate funds for a good cause. It's a testament to the innovative ways in which non-profits seek to engage the community and support their missions.
