Petty cash

Just wondering.

Soemtimes I cannot help as I do have a fear agressive male at home so have to be very careful about who I can foster.

Also with a 7 year old son with special needs and a hubby in a wheelchair I also have to make sure that any transport I do fits in with school times etc.

What I can offer though is a donation towards a kennel for a night or two if that means that there is some breathing space for getting transport organised. For example if I was going to drive 100 or so miles - in my car that is a good £15 of petrol so why not give that for a nights kennel from me where I cannot help with the transport?

Is there a place where we can pledge a cash amount if needs be to assist with kennel fees (I noticed on the Am Bull dog that there was a place offered at cost in a kennels)? If it already exists please point me in the right place. If not - would it be possible to set up something? I am really fishing here - and I guess trying to decrease my feelings of guilt when I cannot help out.

Karen that's a wonderful offer and I'm sure would make all the difference to a dogs life!

I think admin was talking a while ago about setting up a pot for people to donate to, and for rescues to use in urgent cases etc? Please correct me if I'm wrong somone!

Bless you . I t sound like you are doing a massive amount for your family . There is no need to feel guilty, even putting posters up in your local vet is more than enough. Im sure Admin will reply accordingly to your request.

This was something that has been mentioned when RHU first set up

yes it was mentioned i really dont know what to suggest really.

at first i thought setting up a paypal account and people could paypal and then i coulkd paypal directly rescues from it so to speak. however sometimes money was needed asap and i wasnt in a position to financially get cash out of my bank account mean time if that makes sense?

it was thought if we 'charged' a membership like a sponsorship of like £5 a year that would go in to the pot, then any raffles or whatever too. with the thought that then people could askfor financial help towards say a few kennel nights safety.

i guess what im trying to say ids yes i am all up for helping anyway i can but at the moment all i can offer is a paypal account. I am in the process of setting up a RHU bank account as a special account with my bank.

i dont mind paying 5 pounds a year give me the address and i will send you a cheque for 5 pounds and a donation it all for a good cause and you can see where the money is going pm me please xx i

bless ya at the moment i wouldnt like to set anything in stone perhaps we could hold a vote or something?

Sounds like a good plan to have a donation pot. But I'd be worried that some people would be put off if they had to make an annual fee. If I'd been asked to donate money when I requested membership I might have not gone through with teh sign up. But now I've seen what's done through RHU I have no issue with donating.

Perhaps a donation button is a better option than a subscription.

Yes i agree Diane

i agree to and also any amount :S:just a paypal donation button perhaps

I am for the pay pal button so that people can donate as and when.

Thanks Julie for moving the thread to the correct place

And I hope we can sort out something.

i have set up a paypal donate button and set it up for £1.00 i will set up an announcement and then we can keep a tally of the balance etc

sounds great idea 5.00 for a year but untill thats done i will go to paypal soon to give a little

why dont you do it free for first 6months for people that rehoming private dogs ect then if need to be on any longer 5pound a year, then that will give every one chance to see how good site is. just a suggestion
