In our family volunteering starts early! Here is Skylar (my oldest daughter) hanging out with Bernard in front of Wal-mart drumming of business for the Shadow’s Fund bake sale. Her sister was back at the treat tables make sure everyone knew what baked goodies were available and how much they cost. I mean really, who could resist two young girls that are so excited to be raising money for rescue dogs? It’s true that teaching kindness and caring should start early! As they grow older they’ll always value the lives of animals, because it’s what our family has taught them is important.

A great and easy way to raise funds for your rescue is a bake sale. Include some friendly fuzzy faces, and you’ll have a good turnout with lots of donations! However, many make the mistakes of being sloppy in their baked goods. Don’t be! While you are baking for donations still remember that you are selling to a customer who wants a worthwhile purchase.

Here are some Oreos and pretzel sticks hand dipped in chocolate, decorated, and packaged. These will be sold alongside gourmet cupcakes, cookies, and homemade all natural dog biscuits.

Here is a recipe for simple homemade dog treats! The main ingredient is canned pumpkin. Pumpkin has antioxidants and vitamins c & e, which help reduce cataracts and heart problems. Pumpkin also helps with digestion! It can help with diarrhea and gassy tummies. It can also assist with weight loss, as it’s seen as a healthy filler. I put two spoonfuls of canned pumpkin in my dogs’ food, and they not only love it! Here is the recipe for NO WHEAT Pumpkin Dog Cookies: One 15oz can of canned pumpkin (make sure it is PURE pumpkin, NOT spiced pie filling) 3/4 cup of rice cereal (like the type you buy for babies) 1/2 cup of dry powdered milk Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all three ingredients together (mix the rice cereal dry, don’t cook it), roll out and shape into the cookies you want. Bake for 30 minutes, turn the cookies over, and then bake for another 30 minutes. All of my dogs loved these treats, and they were major hit at a recent rescue fundraiser!
