The Adopt a Dog NorthEast charity support thread

OK - just re-read what Pix has said about payment.

Dingle12 I have got half a dozen pre-orders but until we decide how we are going to get people to pay I cannot give you details of what is needed?

Pix/Cayla - what do you want to do? I suppose with HHO people we can just send a cheque to start off with, or pay via Paypal?
 
I had a look at the types of service offered by cafepress and such, and to be honest if Dingle can get them in at those prices we're better off selling ourselves- some of the cafepress/zazzle type sites are an absolute rip off.

Re: ordering, HHO peeps could probably just let us know what they want in terms of size/colour, use the paypal donate and then email whoever is going to be posting them out with details of what they wanted, how they paid (eg paypal email or full name, so that it can be linked up with the right email order), and their address.

For none HHO peeps there are a couple of options. An amazon shop is one, and I'll look into that this evening. Also an ebay shop, though I'm loathe to use ebay as there really is no seller protection at all these days, I've known a few merchants find it more trouble than it's worth as a selling platform.

More fun news!

Carey- there is a lovely picture of your Amy smiling away on the 'how you can help' page :D She'll have her story up soon, Cayla is getting in touch with her mum to find out the details on how she ended up in rescue, so that I can do a proper write up on her.

3 more dogs, Lucy, Jake and Bex are now on the site looking for homes.

Domain specific emails has now officially become a pain in the bum. I can't use the free (but admittedly rubbish) service that came with domain, as the CNAME in the DNS settings is pointing at google servers and not the domain registrars servers. I'm looking at other options at the moment.
 
Evening all,

Cayla, I've just been having a think. If you still wan't me to do xmas cards, will we be able to get them done in time? When do people buy cards? I never buy them so have no idea! I will have some designs done by Friday as i'm going to use them for family/friends cards anyway. From what i've been told the print companies are pretty quick but when do you recon the deadline would be?

Pix you really are a total genius, I hope Cayla is including you on the charity's payroll now because you are absolutely wonderful :):):) The website is looking just brilliant, and I love seeing Amy on there :D

OK - HHO people - if you want to order a hoodie can you PM me NOW please with details of:

colour (navy blue or black)
size
Address to send it to
How you will be paying

I will then summarise all this and send it to Cayla, who I assume will be ordering and sending out initially?

I have some people who I have cheekily assumed would be pre-orders, but need a PM to confirm please :) And for those who have PMd me, could you let me have the missing info please?

Thank you :):):):)

They will be selling out at £19.99:o (is that ok) ? with cheapest possibly postage im asuming maybe £1.99 they should be light weight, If thye are all posted to me, so I post them all out to whoever needs them?

Cayla you have just completely contradicted what I have asked people to do :p:D:D:D
 
Right re Amy, its poss worse than I thought:( I thought she was a straight forward hand in.)

Those who dumped her phoned the a grey rescue and said they had a grey and needed to hand her in, grey resc asked if she was a racer tatooed, NO! and they said are u sure she is a grey? they said well she is a whip x grey, grey rescue said try a few rescues and phone us back, we are a grey rescue, a black grey x whip bitch was then found tied to the gates in a bit of a state the following day, as in bones exposed and freezing cos it was last winter, so ended up with me mam.

*sings* Now then mardy bum! I see you're frowning, it's like staring down the barrel of a gun! *stops singing*

I've PM'd my order to Carey, who I assume will PM it to you. Or something :p Hoodies is for all you smelly bums to organise.

Meh, Amy's story sounds complex! I'll try to make sense of it and write it up in a way that makes sense after I've made sense of it. That kind of thing.

***we're now on easyfundraising! If you would like Adopt-a-Dog to benefit from your Christmas shopping then please take a look at this link http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/aadne There is over 2000 online shops, including lots of big names like Amazon, and your shopping wont cost you a penny extra!***
 
75p per A5 card is the cheapest so far, although they have a minimum order of 100 cards. A friend today said that she used to date someone in a printing company and they're still on good terms so we will see if we can get it cheaper from him.

Little horror gets shouted at for grumping every single night, miserable little trollop that she is :D Yup she picks up all the bowls every night, makes sure they are clean, and leaves them carelessly around for me to fall over :D

Pix, I have forwarded your order PM to Cayla :)

Suppose I'd better order one too :p

Do I then PM then to Dinegy, as in the orders?

Dingey whats this re calanders? the only way I can see us selling them now is to add HHO dogs into them, for everyone here to buy? but maybe we/everyone are already buying enough? what do ya mean free?

Click on the site and you will see :) do you need me to do everything ;) :)

Erm yes I do as a matter or fact:rolleyes:

I did click, I saw nowt for free, I saw some lovely £4.99 calanders, it would be a nice idea to have some made to include everyones dogs if they submitted photos, obs everyone would purchase the calander their dog is in:rolleyes: and we would have a fair few different ones made up to include everyones, I was also thinking would the horsie lot go for it and have their hossies in a calander?

It says its free on this link ive just tried doing one but is says ive low resalution pics :(

If anyone is any good with photos give me a clue about this resalution thing.

I have no idea, but the Xmas cards are a abrgain, and I think they custom pu the piccies on, could have some of them made with random rescue dogs with santa hats on or something, even to sell out next year.........what do u think?
 
Dingle are you able to get any samples of the hoodies and fleeces? I was just checking another canine charity website and their products are reasonably priced, but are rubbish quality :(

I am absolutely sure yours are not, but if we are going to charge £20 for a hoodie I think we need to make sure it is OK? :)
 
He needs to order them in but i do have a t-shirt and bosses daughter has a hoodie and i am sure its the same ones you would be getting. ( the yard im on is sponsored by Jeff banks so we all have the t shirts. He wont use fruit of the loom as he hates them. Ive washed my t shirt loads of times and its not faded or changed size.

These are them

I am sure if you pay a little bit more he will do one for you if you want to see them.
