As well as fostering Australian Shepherds for Australian Shepherds Furever, a national non-profit, I also help out with fundraising. It costs an average of $500 per dog to rescue a dog and get it the medical care (tests, spay neuter, vaccines) and other services to get the dog ready for adoption. Some dogs require extensive and expensive medical care and remedial training. The adoption fees are only $300-400 average, so you can see why constant fundraising is needed for us to save these dogs.
I am participating in the ASF Virtual Craft Fair below. During November and December, I am also personally offering 20% of sales from my online store as a donation to ASF. Please download the Virtual Craft Show catalog below and take a look. So many great Holiday gifts for friends, family and coworkers! If you purchase from my store, I can drop ship your items to your recipients for you at cost. And include a gift card and gift packaging for a small extra charge! Thanks for your support.
ASF Fundraising
Support Our Exhibitors
The ASF Virtual Craft Show features 13 crafters, artisans and vendors who have each donated items for ASF Raffles and Auctions. Their generosity has contributed to the success of our 2022 fundraising efforts. As a way of saying "Thank You" for their support, we put together this Virtual Craft Show to help them build their Holiday sales. Many offer Aussie specific items among their products for the Aussie lovers among us. Some are offering limited edition ASF items as well.
We hope that you will patronize these generous small businesses during this Holiday gift buying season.
