I am looking to man a stall and wondered what pet things you would buy from it if you came. I am making cat nip toys. Pet blankets. Handmade funny pet soaps. Breed plaques. Rescue dog poems framed. A pet calenda. Have you got any more ideas that you and your pet regulary use or like that I could make. Or any other fund raising ideas
What is the best idea for fund raising for an animal charity?

I worked with helping shelters for over twenty years, small cheap items go fast and people think htey are really helping and sometimes buy two or three. Christmas ornaments go good at sales and if your are near a college Cliff Notes books sell good. Selling live fish is a bad idea, hair barrettes and ribbons sell also. Good luck

We’ve had good luck selling homemade pet shampoo, bottling it and adding a cute label. You can find the shampoo recipe on the BICHON FRISE INFORMATION STATION under Grooming. We call it ‘Bichon Bubbles’
go to:
Another great money raiser has been handpainted items. Our volunteers paint on anything with a paint friendly surface - often items others volunteers find in yard sales. Most come out really cute!
Good luck :+)

We do things for Limerick Animal Welfare also, these are great ideas, We often do sponsered walks also and do collections in local supermarkets, with their permission.. Have competitions like, what tricks and funny things your pet can do. It would get more people involved, especially children..
If I was at your stall, the stuff you mentioned, I would definitely buy. Sounds great.
Wishing you the best of luck in this.. Hope it works out well for you..

Hi there - I used to work for a pet charity, and this goes over BIG —
You can have nametag-style tags made with phrases on them, like “I am loved”, “treats, please!”, “take me to your leader” - silly and cute sayings like that…people snap them up! If you go to a trophy shop or engraving shop, they will often give you a discount or even donate the stuff for you, if you give them a charity donation receipt for their business (it’s tax season, so they’re thinking about that stuff, it’s a good time!). We sold nickel-size and quarter-size round tags, engraved on one side only, for $5 each! Fun, unique, and easy. Good luck.

sponsored dog walk

you could make dog coat out of blankets and ties, from large breeds to real small breeds. you could also ring up places like removal companies to see if they will donate any old blankets, pickfords removals used to throw alot of blankets away, also try the local hospitals to see of they will donate blankets to the animal charity.

Toy boxes, dry food dispensers, bowls, collars, brushes, unusual animal ornaments.
You could do a raffle, or a tombola always goes down well at those events. Maybe a sponsored dog walk? Face painting for the kids?
Good luck, hope you raise lots of money for them. What a nice person you are to give up your time. xxxx
15 The Heartbreaker.
Try having a stall outside one of the main supermarkets in your town. People are more likley to give items such as tinned food.
You could also try contacting your local rspca or animal sanctuary to see if they have any ideas (I wish you good luck)

make blankets

Hand-made cards with puppies and kittens on are popular. You could also ask around friends or family to see if they have any unwanted animal ornaments. Also buy some rope as thick as you can, tie knots in both ends of short lengths and sell as dog toys. Have a look in your local pet shop for ideas for more toys that you can make yourself.
Good luck with the stall I hope you make lots of money!

I was wondering about cards? You could use cute photos & just print them.
Or, if you have some cash to spend up front, why not get some plastic blanks … you can get blanks for keyrings, coasters, rulers, etc. & print off a photo to put inside them - perhaps backing it with the name of the charity?
The sort of things that I mean are here:
The keyrings are probably under 30p each, including P&P
You could possibly also sell them blank - suggesting that people put in their own photo & name & address to attach to a dogs collar?
Finally, you mentioned plaques .. what about plaques with hooks in them that you could hang a dog lead on?
Good luck with your stall

I used to work for a charity animal hospital. We held Open Days at the grounds and I was put in charge of the tombolas. To acquire prizes I emailed or wrote to every local and national business, supermarket, theme park I could think of. Response was always generous. The tombola alone would easily raise a thousand. People go mad for it!
We did calendars too and offered people the chance to have their own pet featured in it. For a fee, of course.

What about an animal olympics event when the weather gets better - charge for entering & get companies to sponser the prizes. if you got other animal charities interested you could perhaps have it nationwide & have a grand final… good luck xx

Hi, Pet treats, Ping Pong Balls (cats love em they drive em crazy) Also go to your local Asda every year they have a pet food collection go with a letter from a registered pet charity and ask if your charity could be considered to receive some of the pet food.I know because i work at an Asda and promote this every year. Make your letter to the Events Co-Ordinator. Hope this helps.

Collars, Leads, Pet bowls, Pet toys. What about more items that people can buy for themselves?
Key Rings? Bed throws? (Get pet images printed on them) Picture frames? Jumpers/ tee shirts with pet pictures on? Socks? Stationary? Fridge Magnets? Dog Tags? Cups? Gift cards? I also think the brick-a-brack idea is great, like hold a little car boot sale.
Fund raising idea’s? Sponsored dog walking? Child face painting? You could paint their favourite animal. Animal fancy dress party? Each guest must pay a small fee which goes to your charity? Maybe your local youth club or hall would let you use their space for a night?
Good luck to you!

Getting one or two people to dress up in a furry fun animal costume & standing there with a bucket.
The kids love it when they get a hug for putting coins in.
It’s good for a laugh & family fun…
