:rolleyes:

They will get better, I promise. :p
 
Erm, I don't think we should bother waiting for any more BC...... The MS Paint classic at the top is surely a keeper?! :confused:
 
Another few ideas borrowed from the group I used to volunteer with:

Add information specific to adopting a rescue dog - you can do myths or hints on settling in/training an older dog, etc.

Also, they had the option to sponsor an individual dog so they would put a sponsor/donate button under each available dog's profile. That way if someone was really touched by a dog's story or face or whatever, they could donate to that dog. This is really useful if the dog has large vet's bills so it could also just be put under those dogs with the purpose of raising funds for that instead if you preferred (probably less to keep up with). To encourage the sponsorship they would put their name or something else the donor wrote as well before the sponsor button ... People would put things like "Thanks to Adopt-a-Dog Northeast for our darling Fluffy - Bill and Mary Smith" or "Get well soon Rover - Bill and Mary Smith" or "In memory of Fluffy - Bill and Mary Smith." You get the idea ...

And, if you are a registered charity, if that has tax benefits in the UK like it does here (sorry, I don't know), you might want to put that up near the donate buttons somewhere.

I like the donate idea for a specific dog, I could not really offer any more training hints or tips, I already spent 2 hours grilling people and seting routines for them and offering on going help with each dog, and we do have a guest page where loads of people have left lovely comments, do u mean like that?

What do u think admin biatch can we put donates beside the like of Rivet the greyhound or dogs that are long standing and taking longer to rehome?:D
 
I can look into it, it's certainly a good idea. Galupy, could you give me some examples of the site you mean? I can be a tad slow at times, and seeing how another site functions would give me a better idea of how to implement it onto the current platform.

I'll pm you a link or two ... apologies that beagles will feature strongly in a few of them ... :o:p.
 
Re hoodies/sweats, the shop I work at deals with a company called Ralawise, not sure how many you would have to order to get a decent rate but they do most of the decent brands, e.g.Fruit of Loom, Jerzees.
 
General hints and tips could be useful tho - like your puppy guide, but relating to older dogs :)

Loving the idea of sponsoring individual dogs! People may fall in love with a dog but not be in a position to adopt, it would give them a way of helping out. Possibly, though it would mean more work, you could email them when that dog finds a new home, and just tell them a bit about it (eg Rover has found a lovely home with an elderly gentleman where they can enjoy their retirement together - no details, just a quick note about where he is and that he's happy). Could well get them to pop back onto the site and see another dog they fall in love with (or at least get you into their "donate at Christmas" list ;) ). I'm a total sucker for that sort of thing.

Pix - the new website is fantastic!!
 
An update on this thread, since it won't let me edit my earlier posts :rolleyes:

The website address given earlier is a test site. The actual site is at http://adoptadognortheast.blogspot.com/ Cayla owns a custom domain that we'll be using, however it hasn't been moved across yet. Once it has moved, the above link will still work along side it.

It's not the bestest platform for a website, but it's fast to set up and will do for now until I've sorted hosting and built a 'proper' site.

Content such as the dogs cayla has in at the moment wanting homes is still being worked on, should be up in a couple of days and show an up to date list.

I'm working on the success stories part, so if you have rehomed a dog from cayla and would like to see your dog featured there, send me a pm and I'll let you know what we need in terms of current pics/description of how they are doing now etc :)

Thank you for your patience! :p
 
Yipeeeeee, Im so excited, it's to fab, admin biatch you are the girl!:D:D
Lol we need to change the Izzy part, im not Izzy but im the daughter that helps (or basically does everything):rolleyes:, I just chose to remain nameless, hence the "daughter" bit, Izzy is actually the main puppy fosterer not sure why I put rehoming Co ordinator, the rest of the gang are correct:D sound complicated....it is:o:D
 
Changed it. Had to do it quickly as there's something a little convoluted about that paragraph, and if I look at it too long I'll be messing with it all day. Rehoming policy/contact details ok?
 
Yep it's fabby doo, except the insurance bit can be removed we no longer enforce that bit, we do give 4 weeks but dont enforce it has to be carried on.

I will get pics sent over today with write up's/info on dog, will u copy the ones u did already or do u want them fresh again?

U are to fab:D

Will we still have the successs tories for the skinny emaciated dogs on the sucess page?
Where u wanting a dogs rehomed pages to do loads of little pics on one page like the way the Dog trust set theirs but only dogs rehomed, mind u there are hundreds:eek:
 
Ps the page looked a completely different colour at work on the puter:confused: what colour does everyone else see?from home I see brown banner and pink background in page, at work it was yellow background:confused:

Im going to get some sleep unless the dogs I need to pick up, do actually land then I will be hanging around otherwise im off to snoooooooooooooooze.

Do u have me domain codes and instructions for me to ask or do what I need to with the domain bloke:D or are u not ready yet?
 
Pink? Hmmm. Have you punched the laptop in the face recently? :confused: Could anyone else take a look from their computer and let me know what colours they see?

If the dogs on your old site are still waiting for homes, I'll copy them across from there. I'll do the same with the success stories. Domain stuffs I will pm to you in a bit.

Dunno bout the dogs rehomed bit, what does everyone else think? Could maybe do a selection if there are hundreds of them?
 
Brown and yellow!
Maybe you could change the insurance to recommend, if you dont insist on it any more! No I havent got insurance any more, but know I can sort payment out if ever needed! but know many dog owners that would be stuffed if faced with a big vets bill.
 
I see brown and yellow too.

For the rehomed dogs section I like the way this site does it in blog format so you just keep adding new ones to the top of the page (maybe starting off with a selection of the more dramatic stories from the past?). I find it makes me keep looking at the site to see more heart-warming stories and happy photos so if there were a donate button on that page I would probably be persuaded to donate more often too
